New member here with a few questions. I went yesterday to my dads mothers and brought his 1974 Yamaha DT360 back with me for a winter project. The bike has sat since he broke his ankle riding with me back in 95! I was wondering what year's and models gas tanks will fit the 74 360. We had to Kreem the tank back in the late 80s from sitting and now its not worth wasting time on, its a total mess inside, too bad because the out side looks good with no dents and clean green paint. Anyway if any one can point me in the right direction for a carb kit, a gas tank and if it would be safe to run Mobil 1 10e30 oil in the trans as thats what my Haynes manual says it calls for, if not Ill have to pick up some motorcycle specific oil before I can try to start the pig! Its really in decent shape considering what it has been through over the last 20 years, but with just over 4,000 original miles it should run like a top. I drained the auto lube tank and flushed it with full synthetic Mobil 2 stroke and primed the autolube pump, I may premix a quart of fuel and run it through a remote tank just to make sure its pumping oil, but I really need to track down a gas tank. I found one from a dt250 that should fit but I also came across a few plastic tanks from an MX, what is the major difference between the DT and the MX? I plan on riding this bike on some pretty rough trails again with my dad, although he will be on his Polaris 4x4! Sorry for the long post! Matt :ride:
