startin to put together my yt. got a few ?'s
1. will the stock exhaust from the 175 work on the 125?
2. on the fuel tank cover there are 2 lower mounting holes. well, what appear to be mounting holes. is there some sort of bracket that they mount to? both of mine have nothing in this area. im thinking i may be missing something.
3. oil tank is off and all lines are plugged. is 32/1 gas/oil mix a good place to start?

1. yes it is a direct swap, the pipes are different but fit the same
2. sounds wierd what yt is it off of the 125 or 175 you could be missing it

Well this is what my frame looks like, on the front of the frame there is two mounting brackets but it only mounts to one and then in the back there is one
trimotoman, thanks for those pics. i think i found the missing brkt in a box of xtra parts that came with it.
saladboy, looks to be in real nice condition. wish mine looked like that. i got a couple pics of mine in edogs trimoto thread.
mine is an 82 125 with an 83 175 front end. quite the pile i got it for $100.00. but it looks like i'll be able to get 1 running bike. i'll get some pics of it after i get the plastic cleaned.
Finally got the yt175 over to my house and took a couple of pics. Not much to look at right now, but it was a deal when I got it. I've put on a bunch of new parts and have lots more to install besides the pro-tec kit I have. I will add some more bits and take some more pics. I'll probably tear it back apart soon to paint of pc the frame. I just managed to pick up something else and not sure what I'm going to do, but maybe an engine transplant shortly!!! I hope to have some more time to do some work on it this coming week. I might edog the frame for the temporary just to have it look a little better. I've got to finish recovering the seat for it too. Anyone have a really nice or nos set of rear fenders or fuel tank cover????
wanted to say that the pipe of an 83 175 is not a direct bolt on to the 82 125. the 125 pipe has an attached flange and the 175 is a seperate flange. thats not the problem though, the rear mount on the 125 pipe and the 175 pipe are different. i think this will be an easy fix but just wanted to note that a brkt will have to be made. other than that it will fit and also want to note that the front brkt will bolt up. only the rear will be a problem. when i get this fixed i will take a pic to show what i mean.
since im here, i got my tri-pile running, like crap but running, takes 1/4 throttle well but anything else and she is a dog. been through the carb quickly, dont think its there, possibly a problem with the choke plunger. not sure yet.
