As a 15 year old farm kid, convinced Dad to replace my little '78 DT100 with an '80 IT175. I was in heaven! I didn't even want a car until I went off to college, I couldn't wait to get home from school and go rip it up in the nearby overgrown gravel pits! Oh the memories!🥰 With the stock pipe, powerband didn't get going until past mid-range, then it hit like a switch. Later got a DG pipe, that really added much needed low-end power/torque.

Two things you can do to gain 1/3 more power/rideability: 1. Throw the carb in the trash and put a non-powerjet 34mm carb on. Back then couldn't get power-jets and it was bigly lean in upper mid. 2. Silencer. That probably had most effect on power. Stock these were NOT at all like the previous versions of IT's. Poor low-end and peaky like a 125.

I remember the 175 and 400s were popular and not many went for the 250s From New England , NETRA . The 175 was ideal for logging road and single track type rides even if not in competition.

That’s how two strokes sound. The engine is kinda quiet so it the engine noise is prominent. If it is knocking the motor is garbage if it’s a two stroke because valve clearance is usually the prob with ticking
