1984 Yamaha DT200
Summary:
Very good, especially for beginners
Faults:
Coolant impeller broke off its shaft and caused the engine to seriously overheat. Needed a new piston, cylinder boring, etc.
General Comments:
Great little 2-stroke Dual Sport. Lots of fun on road and off.
I would recommend a Wiseco piston and Boysen Reeds, as well as opeining up the airbox and possibly removing the spark arrestor (if that's legal) allowing more airflow.
Agile, but definitely underpowered for carrying a passenger.
Liquid cooled - nice option, but adds a fair amount of weight.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
