Yamaha dual sports

Before I started the '78 XS650 tracker, I was restoring a 1974 DT3 250. Unlike the XS650, the internet support for this bike is nil.Anyone out there have a DT?

I bought a 1973 RT-360 Enduro new in '73. I was a sophomore in high school. It was a real ankle twister when it came to kick starting. Traded it on on a TT500 when they came out in '76. I have a 1969 AT-1 125 in the shed that I got out and rode on our track in the creek last sunday. There is or was a website called yamahaenduro.com I think it is still going but my comp. won't let me on for some reason. Mitch

I got a DT-1 Tank that doesn't fit the XS650 frame all that well..paid too much for it.

I have a '75 DT100B . I am finding the same thing. No support compared to the XS !! What I would like to find is an old YZ. They were screamers!

My grandpa gave me a dt360 when i was younger. They will take a beating for sure. I was a member of yamahaenduro.com for a while, its the best place for support I could find.

I had a 360 kick back on me once. Damn, that hurt.

The 70's Yamaha dual sports are getting really popular here in the UK and good ones make stupid money. Over here in the UK the DT360 is rated as one of the most difficult jap bikes to restore due to the limited amount of time they were in production and also the fact that we never officially got them here in the UK, so all parts for a resto generally have to come from the USA.

Thinking about doing an early 125 as one of my next projects, but also fancy doing an IT465/490.
