    Hello there, As far as I was aware the Yamaha DT was discontinued in 2007 instead Yamaha makes rhe WR series. That looks like a cool looking bike though, would love to know more about it. I take it you're in the Asian market, hence why this is still available. I didn't know that the bike was still being produced there. I'd almost argue the bike's styling is closer to the 80's LC model vs the earlier 70's model, with the bike using an aircooled design over the liquid cooled variant. Sorry I can't be much more help than that, still cool bike though!

    Could be a lot of things.. but everything is probably not as it should be if it's not starting.. What I can think of: -Leaky crank seals -Damaged/leaking reed/intake -Carb issue -Ignition angle off (flywheel key?) Is the spark plug wet? Is there a good suction pulse from the carb when kicking it? With some experience you can feel it if you cover the carb with your hand on full throttle while kicking/cranking the engine. It should not blow, only suck, and the pulse should be 'strong enough'. Old fuel can make it hard to start too.

    Frame looks same bottom end on tht looks like the dtr engine I have my 4hw has no cover over the oil pump and has some kind of make shift bracket for the oil cable. Looks like they chopped my frame and put a heavy duty swingarm on for that 4DL raised the coolant tank and put bat under the seat. Thats why I asked cause surely the 4 wires from the engine are the same or do I have to change the flywheel coil bit of forget its name now. I think i'll give it a bash as I got to remove the engine anyway if the mountings are the same and it wires up maybe I can put a DT rear sprocket on. Food for thought ive got to get the energy to get at it first i'll look over that cdi wiring diagrams thing you shared and go from there just hope the exhaust mounts dont throw it out of whack. I'm hands on so once got all the parts in sight i'll hopefully make sense of it all feel free to leave suggestions etc like I said before wish I had someone here to help me out going to be fun though so hopefully will give me more incentive.

    @hotshot-iii That's a very cool video and local to me too! A crated Banshee, wow what a museum piece. I had no affiliation with the Banshee prior to this build, but what a machine and what an era for motorcycling. All lost to time now and kids these days won't know the joys of machines like that.
