This Yamaha Enduro got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1980 Yamaha DT175 Enduro was acquired in 2005 by the seller, who subsequently put the bike in storage in 2009. Refurbishment work commencing in 2019 and completed in December 2022 included repainting the bodywork in red with black and white stripes as well as overhauling the 171cc two-stroke single and Mikuni carburetor. Additional work included powder-coating the frame and subframe in black, replacing the clutch plates and springs in the six-speed transmission, partially recovering the two-up seat, and replacing the drive chain, taillight, fuel cap, battery, tires, mirrors, control and speedometer cables, fuel lines, steering bearings, and more. The motorcycle is equipped with a chrome cross-braced handlebar, a monoshock, a luggage rack, a kick starter, and a side stand. The DT175G Enduro is now offered at no reserve in Texas with a tool kit, a Yamaha service manual, two owner’s manuals, parts receipts, spare parts, oil, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
The fuel tank and side covers were refinished in red with replacement graphics during the refurbishment. Features include a chrome cargo rack, high-mount white plastic fenders, street lighting, and a side stand. The seller states that the single-downtube double-cradle frame and subframe were powder-coated in black, the two-up seat was partially recovered, the 1.85-gallon fuel tank was internally lined with Red-Kote, and the taillight lens, fuel cap, steering bearings, and mirrors were replaced. The rear fender has stains around the rear brake light rubber isolator per the seller.
Wire-spoke wheels measure 21″ front and 18″ rear and were mounted with Dunlop D605 tires in 2019. Braking is handled by drums at both ends. Suspension consists of a leading-axle fork with black gaiters as well as a monoshock mounted to the swingarm. The swingarm bushings and seals were replaced during the refurbishment.
A chrome cross-braced handlebar with replacement clutch and throttle cables fronts an 80-mph speedometer and a tachometer with an 8k-rpm redline. The five-digit odometer shows 2,400 miles, approximately 50 of which were ridden by the seller. The speedometer cable is said to have been replaced, and the brake switch and clutch and throttle cables were adjusted in December 2022.
The 171cc two-stroke single features Yamaha’s reed-valve Torque Induction system as well as Autolube oil injection, a high-mounted expansion-chamber exhaust, and a kick starter. The engine was overhauled during the refurbishment with a replacement forged Wiseco piston and rings, wrist pin, countershaft sprocket, gaskets, seals, and more as outlined in the parts list in the gallery. The Mikuni carburetor is said to have been refreshed at that time. In December 2022 the two-stroke oil reservoir was flushed, the carburetor was tuned, and the battery and fuel lines were replaced.
The number 3J1003558 stamped on the engine case matches the one stamped on the frame and on the manufacturer’s decal, photos of which can be viewed in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheel through a six-speed transmission and a replacement drive chain. The clutch was fitted with replacement EBC plates and springs, and the transmission fluid was flushed in December 2022.
A Yamaha service manual, two owner’s manuals, a tool kit, spare parts, oil, and parts receipts will accompany the motorcycle.
Photos showing work completed from 2019 to 2022 can be viewed in the gallery.
