Is the original tank on it? What's it look like? I'm not aware of the Yamaha serial number decoding scheme.

BTW, DTs are 250s. CTs are 175s. (LTs 100s, RTs 360s and ATs 125s)

Does it have the plastic Yamaha badge on each side? My '70 DT did and I'm pretty sure they kept that particular style at least into '71.

It's one of those TRIPOD hosted pics. They never appear on someone else's site.

But just go to images.google.com and search on '1970 CT1 YAMAHA' and '1970 YAMAHA 175 Enduro' and what not and you should be able to find some shots.

Thanks, I found one that looked just like my '70 250, before, I started working on it. " title="Smile">

I still think they kept the plastic badges through '71.

[quote="sazookdude":a37d0]hey kl120. the first 3 digits r 443. thanx,sazookdude.[/quote:a37d0]
The tank description combined with the part no. sounds like the 1974. The 1975 shares some of the same numbers but I think the tank looks like this:[img:a37d0]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/GOOD120/MOTODRIVE/bikepics-44373…]
