dt 200

[sam0840]

hey guys, i just wanted to start a thread about the dt 200. what do you guys know about it? i knwo its rare and they didn't make them in the US. anyone ever done the conversion on here? i've found a few things on the internet but they aren't that great...just wanted to see who knows what about this engine and what its like o plop into a blaster. i think i read it get 31 HP so its almost twice the power of a stock air cooled blaster!

With a little work it's more than 31 hp, look here:

Bolting the motor in is easy. then there's just a couple things to figure out dude !
1- are you going run the power valve (Yamaha Power Valve System)it dose work with out battery just won't self clean cycle until after running
2- need to get a exhaust flange or make one
3- need to build some kind of cooling system. rad,fill neck,overflow to recover expansion fluids. oh! did I say radiator just finding one that fits is a biotch is it big enough,or too big ,hose size, in & out locations,fill point doses it have a fan Oh fan!
4- FAN unless you run the 2 stage timing,& stator w/dc votage regulator out put that the dt came with you can't power the fan or charge if you run one
The blaster runs on ac to run the all the lights a dc fan won't run on ac! FUN FUN FUN. you could run with out until you stop to till your friends how hard this thing runs. oops any body got some water?
The DT was meant to be a street commuter with high air flow at speed not duning lots of water pump mods in side & head work.
Then do a 240 to it. man the thing is quick rips the piece of crap stock bike.
why didn't Yamaha water cool it stock? oh cheep bike $$$$ damn bean counters they had it right there!
Did I mention there's one for sale on these forums wow! all done with extras

It's not really hard. I don't know much about engines and the electric. Some parts have to be melded. The power valve isn't necessary, I ride without. The radiator is from a vfr400 and it's not to hot and not to cold. A fan isn't necessary. The water doesn't need a overflow to recover expansion fluids, nearly nothing get's out of the circulation.

It's no easy walk, but it can be done!

I really really wanted to do the conversion, but the only feasible way to do it would be to buy a RUNNING dt200 bike. That way you know you have all the parts you need. The only way to buy a running bike would be to get very lucky and have a neighbor with one or get a good deal on ebay. And your going to pay a lot more than you would spend on any combination of upgrades available for the blaster.
I think it would be cheaper to build a bad ass 240 stroker.

The DT/WR200 motors are fairly easy to come by over here, but I want to see if I can't fit a old IT250/400 engine to the blasty (the 250 being good for 37hp!)! They look almost identical to the blaster engine as I had a IT 250 a few years back, and boy oh boy, it MOVED for it's age!
