I had a red 1978 and I rode the hell out of it for several years as a teenager. Great bike that would run any road, trail and even climb hills and jump like a YZ. Man, I loved that bike.
I was lucky enough to win one of these little DT100D's in a raffle back in 1978 when I was 12 years old. I've since found one with only 520 odd kilometres on it and purchased it off the original owner. It wasn't neglected but it did have quite a bit of surface rust which I've cleaned up the best I could and its come up pretty nicely. Its now sitting inside my house along side a mint little Honda Elsinor MR50 which was my first bike. Brings back some great memories looking at these little bikes. :)
i went to a property and they had this exact bike! i rode it a few times and i only went to 60kph before getting to sketched out, its in alot worse condition but it starts first kick and has little to no compression. surprised it still works as well as it does. does yours have a battery? The one i used had no battery and had to have high revs for the horn to work and it would not put out enough power for and lights to work.
I bought one of these bike about 10 months ago and I have barely road it cause I'm scared to mess it up. But now I regret it and im sitting here wanting to ride it so bad.
I have a yellow one in pretty decent condition let me know if interested 🤷♂️ I haven't given it much attention since I have an xt250 and it would be nice if I knew someone would appreciate it more than me
nice bike,can you please tell me why my 1978 yamaha 100 enduro kickstart cranks only halfway thats why it wont start?its suppose to kick start all the way down,but mine seems like only kick start halfway?thank you very much..
. 47 mph could probably do 57 mph on road without the wind blowing against you.Never had a motorbike but i am looking to do up an old 50 cc Yamaha FS1E when i find a scrap one and noone will let me have it for beer,neighbour or otherwise..
@@sploofy4878 i believe so. Without that, it won't start if your life was haning in the balance. Im not sure you they are still avail...maybe...i dunno
It definitely was. I bought a 1978 brand new as my first bike in 1979. It was left over and it was just over $700. I had saved up gift money from relatives for years. The Yamaha dealership taught me how to ride!

Got a red one just like it, Christmas 1979. That engine sound is seared into my brain.

Should put my yt125 in my house lol
@@EwFatppl - haha, definitely.
I have one just like it. Had it since 89'. Getting ready to freshen it up over winter.
I had that exact bike , minus the signal lights. The sound of it brings back memories.
My first bike was a 1978 brand new and I was 12. It was red. Mine would do 55mph downhill with a tailwind. I had so much fun with it.
Our family had one just like that one. Rode it all over lower peninsula Michigan

this was my first bike....memories...Till the magneto went out...Drat!
magneto is igniton coil? no?

@@davidwright873 I have a dt100 no spark or compression and idk if it's worth saving
@@sploofy4878 check the spark on the plugs. it no spark when you kick it, good possibility that its the magneto......
Well its still going and it's still way faster than the tracter
Does this bike have a reed valve intake? Trying to get mine running
yes it has
Who cares how fast it goes wide open ..as long as it starts and stops and always brings you.home.thats all that realy matters
the sound of the wind is unbearable
That was my dream bike as a teen in the 70's. If I remember correctly, it was about $700 back then so no way I could buy one.
$700 was really that much 😅
