1992 Yamaha RT 180 Vintage Dirt Bike

 1992 Yamaha RT 180 total ground up restoration performed. nbsp; Engine was recently broken in and rejetted for Yamalube 2R oil @ 32 to 1

I purchased this bike around 5 years ago from a friend looking  to get back into the simplicity of a 2 Stroke air cooled dirt bike.

What I discovered was a project requiring more time and money than I had anticipated.    Anyway the last few years I began the process of acquiring NOS . sed. and Aftermarket parts to completely restore this bike to a fully functioning condition.  

Engine Condition: The engine was rebuilt by Dave Santich (Local KTM Dealer) who bored out cylinder for new piston/rings . new crank bearing and seals. and inspected transmission gears for wear.

Chassis Condition :  Frame was cleaned/painted. inspected for cracks. Gas tank outside repainted( inside very clean). Steering stem bearing cleaned/greased. nbsp; Swing Arm painted. leaned. and greased. nbsp;all wiring was inspected and tested . nbsp; Exhaust pipe and muffler cleaned/painted . nbsp;Shock was cleaned/inspected with a new RACE TECH bottom out bumper installed.

List of new parts:  Fork seals/boots. Handlebars/Grips. Twist throttle with custom Motion Pro cable to eliminate oil injection system. Frt/Rr tires and tubes. Frt Brake Master cylinder and caliper  rebuilt. Replaced clutch basket/plates with newer ones. nbsp; Frt/Rr sprockets with gold chain. Air Filter. Lighting coil. nbsp;Engine kill switch. Clutch cable. Clutch lever.  Stator coil and numerous seals and gaskets

The Bike pulls strong from the first crack of the throttle and runs through all 6 gears just fine. Gas tank capacity is 3. 4 gallons and requires premix since the oil injection system was removed.    The Elba Headlight(Period correct)  is in working order and can be turned off with a toggle switch.   This bike can be ridden by an adult and has low seat height for a relaxed ride.

Overall the bike was gone over 100% and can be ridden without worry.   Two things to point out. the gas tank has some dents here and there no leaks though. Also the front wheel is slightly bent. can't be noticed riding offroad.   A plastic gas tank is still available and a used wheel can be had if you need it perfect.    Many Parts for this bike are available here on EBAY at reasonable cost.   One can still ride and have little fear of running out of  spare parts.

My reason for selling is having to many motorcycles with little time to ride them.   If you had a Yamaha RT 180 at one time and would like another one. you won't find a cleaner example ready to ride like this one.  

Happy Bidding and good luck!
