Ran across this of King Kenny is true form
A 400cc two stroke before the days of variable exhaust ports had a power band as wide as a thread, that exhaust port was so big you could put your fist thru it.
The chamber with its Non Silenced stinger would tickle the inner and Im sure to the hearing loss I have today.
And the Smell! The Smell of Castor bean oil or Klotz was Nirvana!!!!
I had a DT400 similar to this and was a beast to ride..

Lots of DTs 125 and 175 around here still on the streets, nanny govmint is making emissions harder this year and asking for catalityc converters on new and old two smokes, you can see people taking the bikes to inspection on pickup trucks because they can't pull its own weight with a cat fitted, after the inspection the owners remove the cat and keep riding them as usual.

The DT in 125,175,250 and 400 is a tried and true reliable two smoker. not far off the YZ's of the day. |
