Condition: Listing details from the bike's own eBay listing: Year: 1976; Make: Yamaha; Model: DT400; Mileage: 137 miles; Type: Dual Sport/ADV; Color: Yellow. The Yamaha DT400 is a dual-purpose motorcycle made by Yamaha in Japan. It features a vibrant yellow exterior color, making it stand out on the road. I am selling my 76 DT400 I purchased this bike approx 4 years ago ( I took my drivers test on a similar one in 1977) I road this bike approx 25 miles since then. It went up the road just fine, A little harder to ride in my 60's than it was in my teens.. This bike starts right up, shifted and stopped as it should. All lights worked as they should including all of the gauge idiot lights. Miles unknown since the speedo was reset I assume after being redone, they look great. You don't see gauges that look this nice. There is no front fork brace, that went to another bike . New fork sweepers were installed Appears to have original style grips, brake/clutch covers and more. All switches look nice Front fender has paint missing ( see photos). The oil pump has been disconnected for safety so it will need premix. All fuel was drained a year ago to save the carb. Tank looks good but does have a few dings, it is clean inside. Seat was recovered and looks great. This bike has a ton of power, in my yard a wheelie is done very easily. Great bike for a DT collector, can be shown at vintage bike shows and do well ( could use a little cleaning but looks great as is ) My collection has grown to an amount I can not keep up with, a few bikes need to go. I would never do this but this bike could be parted out for what I am asking. Located in zip 21901 near I95, Will assist with shipping and can hold bike for a bit if needed.

The Yamaha DT400 is one of our all-time favorite vintage Enduro motorcycles. These legendary big-bore, single-cylinder two-strokes have developed an enthusiastic following among collectors, restorers, and vintage off-road enthusiasts. This particular DT400 is an excellent candidate for a complete restoration or just get it running as is preservation project. It retains many of its original factory components, including the fuel tank, seat, exhaust, handlebars, gauges, suspension, and engine cases. This motorcycle is currently NOT running and is being offered AS-IS as a restoration project. FROM A PRIVATE CONNECTICUT MOTORCYCLE COLLECTION This DT400 was recently acquired as part of a private collection belonging to our late friend Mike, a lifelong Connecticut motorcycle enthusiast who sadly passed away at just 62 years old. Mike had assembled an impressive collection of classic Japanese motorcycles, including several desirable Yamahas. We acquired the collection from his estate and are now offering a number of these motorcycles to collectors and enthusiasts who will appreciate and preserve them. Other Yamahas from this collection include: Yamaha 100cc street bike Yamaha Chappy 100 Yamaha R5 350 two-stroke Yamaha DT400 Enduro Yamaha XT500 Yamaha XS500 Yamaha 750 triple All are being offered as individual restoration projects in their as-acquired condition. At Kaplan Cycles, we currently have approximately 240 motorcycles in inventory awaiting various levels of service or restoration, with additional collections arriving. Although we originally intended to restore this DT400 ourselves, our restoration department has a substantial backlog. Rather than have this classic Yamaha sit awaiting its turn, we've decided to offer it to the next caretaker who can bring it back to its former glory. ORIGINALITY, COSMETIC CONDITION & FEATURES One of the most appealing aspects of this DT400 is the number of original factory components still present. Fuel Tank: The original factory Yamaha fuel tank remains intact and presents well for its age. The exterior is in good overall condition, and the inside of the tank also appears to be in good condition. Finding an original DT400 fuel tank in respectable condition is a major advantage when beginning a restoration. Mileage: The factory instrumentation shows only 4,830 miles . This is relatively low indicated mileage for a motorcycle of this vintage. Actual mileage has not been independently verified. Engine: The original 400cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine kicks over and IS NOT SEIZED. The engine has not been started or tested under running conditions, NO COMPRESSION TEST WAS DONE. Front End & Suspension: The front end appears straight and intact. The original fork tubes and fork lowers are in decent condition. Both factory headlight mounting ears appear straight, without obvious bending or deformation. Gauges & Controls: The original factory gauges are in excellent cosmetic condition. The handlebars appear straight and in good condition, the switch housings are intact, and the original-style turn signals remain present. Seat: The original-style seat is in good overall condition. We installed the missing seat retaining pins after the video. Exhaust System: The motorcycle retains its original-style exhaust system, an important component for anyone seeking an authentic factory-style restoration. Rear Suspension & Wheels: The original rear shock absorbers are still installed. The motorcycle currently wears a knobby rear tire, a common modification on these dual-purpose Yamaha Enduros. Frame, Footpegs & Engine Cases: The frame, footpegs, and engine cases are in good overall condition. The motorcycle presents as a solid, substantially complete original survivor. Rear Taillight: The taillight currently installed is not the original factory unit. A correct replacement may be sourced during restoration.

We have not disassembled the engine or performed a comprehensive mechanical inspection. The buyer should plan on thoroughly inspecting and servicing this motorcycle before attempting to operate it. The DT400's relatively straightforward air-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke design makes it an appealing motorcycle for enthusiasts familiar with vintage Japanese motorcycles. A FANTASTIC WINTER RESTORATION PROJECT! The 1975 Yamaha DT400 represents an exciting period in Yamaha's off-road history, when large-displacement two-stroke Enduros were among the most desirable dual-purpose motorcycles available. The DT400 combined the character of a powerful two-stroke engine with the versatility of a street-legal, off-road-capable motorcycle. Today, these machines are sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate their mechanical simplicity, unmistakable two-stroke sound, vintage styling, and historical significance.
