Need help identifying DT design year / trim for decals (bike is 2025 production)

[pvxyz74]

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to identify the correct design year / trim for my Yamaha DT175 so I can order the right decals and graphics kit.

The situation is a bit confusing:
• The bike is a 2025 production
• But I know the DT platform hasn’t changed visually for many years
• Decal sellers usually list graphics by design year / trim, not production year

What I want to do is:
• Match my bike’s frame, tank shape, side panels, and fenders
• Figure out which older model year graphics will fit correctly
• Avoid ordering decals that don’t align with mounting points or panel shapes

If anyone knows:
• How to correctly identify the design generation
• Which older DT175 model years share the same plastics and graphics layout
• Or how you personally matched decals on newer-production DT175s

Also do the fmf power core2 exhaust fit properly? or does it need welding
and is there ANY exhaust that fits perfectly???
plus what modifications do you all recommend???

I’d really appreciate the guidance. Photos or references would help a lot too.
Thanks in advance 🤝

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!
