Went and got the trimoto 175 today

[Crazyktmmatt]

I barely rode it before I bought it. lol

Doesnt like to start cold, but pop starts really easy. It dont make any power on the top end for some reason either. It has the oil injection stuff already unhooked off it.

Im not sure what suspension it has on it either. Theres a sticker on the swing arm that says S&D Manufacturing?

It looks to have a different pipe on it- did some googling and really didnt come up with anything - maybe a kerker pipe?


It also has wheeler spacers on it.

Its gonna need a front tire too.

Those are pretty cool machines. I rode one back in the day a lot. It was a hill climbing animal. The rear swinger is aftermarket because they were originally hard tails. Nice find.

[Chopsaw]

Sounds like its in the right place . You barley rode it before you bought it ? My trike buying goes like this , " Wanna ride it ? " " No , here's your money , lets load it up "

Might as well buy something if im going to get off the couch to go look at it.......


I seen this one a few weeks ago when I bought the 86 200x. It looked neat, to say the least. Im not sure if I like this one yet. I'll clean it up and get it running right before I make a final decision if im gonna keep it or not.

I like my 83 200x way better so far.

The 175 might be a good winter beater, then I can keep the x mint lol

I allways wanted one of those...Had a 125...

[Yamaha_Rules69]

Some special and hard to find parts on that one! Nice pick up!

[Crazyktmmatt]

Is it a protech kit? Did they do spacers too? Still cant find what pipe is on it

I found a 84 200E Yamahauler in a barn in Illinois . Cleaned up really nice . Listed it on ST. Louis CL . A guy from Shawnee Kansas calls me , and sends me $50 to hold it . Drives three hours one way and wants to ride it ,,, thats fine . Starts runs rides looks like new ,,, gets back from the ride and says " wish I would have brought my mechanic buddy with me " I said sorry to see you go back empty , enjoy trailprotrailpro ride home . He says , I'll get the money .

That sticker on the tank stands for richter privateer systems. trailprotrailpro exhaust could be one of those.

[honda3]

Or it may stand for richter privateer silencer

[brrcuda]

set of flat track tires on that thing andi will look mean... i had a yt125 when i was a kid and used to see those ads in dirtwheels for those kits. always thought they looked cool in full race setup.

[Crazyktmmatt]

I plan to get it running correctly first. lol

It needs a good cleaning/ degreasing yet.

It leaks gas pretty bad if u don't shut the gas off and transport it. The overflow/ vent is plugged off too. Could be why it runs like crap and the float height is off..


Tomorrow I'll take the carb of and look in it. I'll make a block off plate for the oil injection too. The oil injection line is still hooked to the head yet too.

[Vealmonkey]

Neat score. Does't look like a pro-tec kit as they had a cast aluminum swingarm. Looks almost like a DG pipe. The DG pipe had 2 different pipes, one for the 125 and one for the 175. A pro-tec pipe came with the parts to fit either engine. Don't forget to premix your oil into the gas or your engine won't last long. The 200x can't be compared to the 175, so please don't. But a suspension kit was a big improvement for the 175. Now you just need a DG head and a better front end and a lot of tweeking and you will have it all sorted out. You can even pick up all the parts to make that engine a manual shift if you want, but it will take alot of looking. Congrats and have fun.

[Crazyktmmatt]

Whats a good carb to use as a upgrade?

Is the chain roller/ tensioner in the right spot?

That 175 looks like a lot of FUN!!! How does she run!!????

[Ghostv2]

You don't see many machines like that on the east coast here. My search continues. All the cool race bikes are out west.

[Crazyktmmatt]

I got it to run better then it was. Took the carb apart and it looks really clean. I can get it to start when its cold now, needs a choke cable to be happier.

It still bogs out on the bottom end and the top end. Midrange it wants to pull the front tire sometimes :D


I was gonna mess with it some more today.

[jb2wheels]

I remember the S&D name from way back - but that's about all I remember.

There was a shop in Palm Springs that made swingarms and stuff for a while. Was it S&D?

Regardless, your YTM is way cool.

[Crazyktmmatt]

Thanks.


it is different to say the least not sure if Im sold on it yet.


Went out to go mess with it today and screw off on my 200x and there was big rock slide In the road. I hadda turn around and come home. So I talked and the phone and got a free 110 motor and a 225dx for $50 if i want it............

I had a 84 kx 80 carb and boot on my yt 125 , its 32mm. It works good on my blaster cylinder conversion too but you use the blaster carb boot for that.

[Crazyktmmatt]

Sounds like a really tempting swap.

[Ethan1]

with that carb , your pipe and some porting you should be able to beat stock blasters , i could with my ported 125 jug , custom pipe and the 32mm carb

[Crazyktmmatt]

If I can get the dumb thing to run again lol


Couldnt get it to start in the cold weather today

[Ethan1]

I switched carbs because my stock one was junk and i could see rebuilding a 20mm carb
