My son has just bought a 1988 Yamaha Dt 50 and I am looking for info on it. He's called the local dealer about getting a manual but because of the age he's SOL. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

you can probably find one on ebay for cheap

****** did you even give me time to post this? lol

I might have a manual that covers that, I had a DT 100 and a DT360 but older bikes. the 100 was a 77 and the 360 was 74 if I remember right. I would love another DT360, that bike was a blast. 2 stroke same as the DT 400 except a shorter stroke. I rode that bike on the highway and it kept up and passed traffic no problem and was a blast in the dirt too.

I had a 1973 Yamaha RT360 Enduro, boy I wish I still had that one too. That bike was a strong runner plenty of torque and ran good on the road too. I rode it about 60 miles to go see a girlfriend once and by the time I got there I was whooped, great bike though and very dependable!! I remember having a couple run ins with the man in blue on her as well.

I did a quick search on e-bay and didn't come up with anything. How much difference is there between the DT and other models? Will another model work as far as manuals go, and misc. parts for that matter.

hey tinman
i had one of these i gave it away
i taught my kids on it and then left it for a couple of years
i managed to get spares like cables exhaust levers bodywork from www.50cc.nl a dutch company
i finally gave away to an old bloke to restore which he is bless him :-)

Thanks Steven, I'll take a look at the site later tonight.

Ok I've tried surfing that site and it's not very user friendly to a slighttly buzzed guy on a friday nite. Switching back and forth between two languages is making my head spin more than usual.
