1976 YAMAHA
Type: DT400 (513)
Serial number: 209
French registration
Rare 1st hand
3 000 / 4 000 €
The model presented was ordered in the 1st year of manufacture by its current owner. And, exceptionally, the purchase invoice from Pierre Psalty is included in the file.
Trails are increasingly used on the road and in town, to the detriment of off-road riding. The evolution of this type of machine is therefore moving towards skills more in line with this type of use. The DT400, launched in 1975, is a perfect example. It succeeded the DT360. While it gained in displacement (46 cm3), it paradoxically lost power. This reduction from 32 to 27 horsepower was intended by Yamaha in order to boost engine torque. As for the chassis, the DT400 retains the DT360's frame, derived directly from that of the MX360 cross-country bike, and a rear suspension with two shock absorbers. An overhaul is in order.
