1977 Yamaha DT125E review from Malaysia
"Reliable good handling with adequate power for on road or offroad use"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Two stroke oil pump faulty after sometimes, had to mix petrol with 2T oil. The gear was not working properly, the neutral position was not in the right position. Kick starter won't work properly after 20 years.
General comments?
A good and reliable motorcycle, despite its old age.
