where to get Old but new DT parts eg the rubber gromits that hold the side covers on ? anyone make them new after market
i thought you were trying to pull my leg there.......Boats . net :huh but i found what i wanted! and love the price
found one but i got a 175 from a mate at work.....so i didn't end up getting the 400 the little 175 gets used for the really hard places
If you haven't already, you may still want to check yamahaenduro.com. Some of the members there have had problems with Boats. Also, I believe one of the members makes repro rubber bits. Don't know if he has what you need but it's worth a try.
the yamahaenduro.com page wont open for me i did try it as it was the first suggested but it just wont load
Apologies that this is slightly off topic, but I have a question about the production of brand new air cooled DT's. I am currently riding RtW (in South America right now) and I keep on seeing brand new air cooled DT's. Not just 125's but also 175's. As far as I remember, they stopped importing these into the UK in the early 90's with the launch of the liquid cooled DT125R?? Also we stopped getting the 175 well before then.. Did Yamaha Japan just keep on making the air cooled models for Central and South American export only?? It's been on my mind a lot, this thread just prompted me to ask the question. Sorry to deviate. Back on topic, as these bikes are so plentiful (and cheap) down here it could be a good business for someone to fill up a container load with them and punt on the parts to the rest of the world?!
Australia got the Air cooled DT175 up till 2006 Wiki says the DT125(aircooled) were made till 2008 but we(Australia) didn't get them after about 1990 i think
Speed and Sport is a good source, great people. You can also try NW Vintage, another good source for NOS parts.
