About the kit
It is a resale of DT-1, but the name has changed to DT250.
According to the contents of the manual, it seems that the engine and suspension are strengthened in the minor change version of DT-1.
However, the contents of the kit are the same as the DT-1, and the key switch is the DT-1 type.
In addition, there are some parts that differ from the actual vehicle in the package. It is so specified.
Engine
I replaced all hose bands, cable joints and bolts.
The case cover bolt is a Phillips bolt in the actual car, but I replaced it with a pin.
The carburetor also adds details such as a choke lever.
I didn't use the kit's air filter and remade it with plastic model junk parts.
This part is completely invisible when assembled.
Added spring for foot brake.
Front and rear suspension
We wanted the front suspension to sleep the head angle, so we inserted a 4mm spacer into the lower crown.
Therefore, I replaced the part to attach the light to the brass pipe.
For the rear suspension, we made the shaft thinner because we wanted to add cushioning rubber to the bottom.
Petrol tank
It is the shape of the tank like an old car. Since the YAMAHA logo stands out, I filled in the opening for the logo and made it flat.
Muffler
I made a muffler guard with an aluminum plate.
Weld marks added to the muffler. And I added a spring to the base of the engine and muffler.
Wheel
I made it with a 0.5mm spring wire and a brass pipe with an inner diameter of 0.6mm.
This kit`s changing spokes is very easy.
Fender
The front is fixed to the head tube like a dirt bike.
Added a rubber mudguard in front of the fender, which is common in old cars.
Sheet
Cut it in half because it is thick.
Add details such as seat fixing hooks.
The seat is thinner, the fenders are taller, the head angle is changed, the tank is cleaner, and I think it's a little slimmer and spartan.
Painting
Since I paint frame with silver, I paint the wheel rims and suspensions with black.
The tanks were yellow, and the number plate was red because the color was not enough.
Display stand
From the beginning, I had decided that the Motorcycle stand would be a wooden Coca-Cola box.
I put out a little story with oil, spanner, and mud brush.
The table is simply a palette.
Thank you so much!
