DT200WR restoration project pic heavy
-
Hi guys, as I finished my dt125r/3xp project. I couldn't resist my next project as I've always wanted a 200wr. I've got plans already for this and lots off goodies on order... Again I'm going for a mix of old school/OEM look with my own twist on it.
Being a 90s Yamaha it will be have a 90s whacky colour frame similar to the 90s yzs purple.
Pics to come..
-
Yes mate. Sounds like it's going to be a nice project.
-
@Calum thanks mate. Be challenging as many parts not available, so I'm going to have to work with what I've got
-
Nice one, love to see some pics!
-
She's home now. Better condition than I expected.
Runs sweet and it's all there.
See the progress as it goes..
Came with a spare set of wheels which I think are off a early 19s yz
Also came with brand new ebc front disc and pads.
Heavy duty ebc clutch installed and a spare set of plates, new fork seals (not needed)
-
Yeah that is looking sweet
-
@Louis-James that’s really cool that engine almost looks identical to the 125 dt

Where did you get her from?
Did you not inspect the bike before buying her?
Looks pretty good overall, some work needed but no used bike is without their faults these days. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

@NINJA thanks, from Andover about 40miles away.. no they delivered it. With any vehicle sold on eBay, you can reject it if not as described.. in this case it was a lot better condition than I was hoping. Very original underneath...no butchered wiring either, tank it excellent condition.
Even both sets of wheels are mint. Just need cleaning.
-
@Louis-James COOL so you got to give her the ole 'virtual inspection' then??? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
Looks like you got a good deal there bud and are now the proud owner of a super rare bike - congrats. :clapping_hands: :thumbs_up: :clapping_hands:

Jealous

@NINJA thanks. oh yes the analyzing process through a screen haha. Yes it's one for the collection.. might get the Lanza next

@oldman you've got enough bikes already haha. Very good price this was.
If anyone has any spares let me know, the oil pump works and is in mint condition but I need the 2t tank and level sensor.
