Description
This is a Yamaha DT400B imported from the US. I bought it in 2022 to make a lightish bike for my camper. It was a US import and I bought it off the importer. V5 in my name. Age related plate and classed as historic so MOT and ULEZ exempt. Tax is free.
I did a pretty thorough mechanical recommission including:
New piston, all seals and engine bearings.
Electronic ignition kit.
New seat cover.
New battery.
New carb (Chinese - Original comes with it).
New chain and sprockets.
New brake shoes front and rear.
New fork seals (although left is weeping still).
New swing arm bushes.
New rear shocks.
Two new tyres.
Mudguards and frame resprayed.
Yellow and black paintwork is still original.
New indicator switch.
I replaced the tacho as the glass was broken. Speedo is the one it came with but I can't guarantee the mileage.
I've done some 80-100 mile days out on it and it's reliable but it needs some fine tuning still. 500 miles on it since recommission I would estimate.
Bike is in Bushey, Herts. Nr Watford.
