Hello to everyone, I'm new member and a new owner of a 1977 dt175 . was created by crashMoped

This is my first Yamaha motorcycle, but I've always loved the early Enduro style bikes, and I can't wait to get mine running and ready to ride. I'm trying to find out if I need a different set of points for my 1977 dt175, or if I can use the same points that are used on 1974-76 dt175? I'm having a hard time finding any info online. thank you

Most parts lists are for US models.  And the USA did not get a 1977 DT175.  No such thing.  So pretty hard to find parts for a year model that doesn't exist here.

DMV, selling dealers, and even the sticker on the steering head can confuse what the actual year model is.  VIN is the way to go.

You'll need to check your VIN number against the lists in the Tech Library and/or post at least the first six digits or so here of the number here to ID what you have.
