I have been working on a 1975 350-RD for a few months or so, and I am looking for the PROPER manual to help with my restoration. I've been farming Ebay and have picked up something that helps with a lot of the questions. But it just seems to be lacking in information.(Haynes service repair maintenance hand book) I shows the basic info....diagrams/ black and white photo's...but the items it doesn't show, battery box/air box....tool box, are pretty important. I've looked on line, but you can't flip through the pages of an online book, so your not sure of what you are getting...and all of my brick and mortar stores don't have a selection of cycle books..... Any idea'…

My pride and joy was taken from the driveway outside my house at the weekend. I'm only 17, just left school and only 3rd party insurance so absolutly gutted. It is a 57 plate, originally blue/white but with the tank side covers and front mudguard painted black and the seat vinyl replaced with black so fairly distinctive. A good tidy looking bike. DEP silencer but original expansion pipe. I know I will probably never see it again but I will pay a reward if anyone can help me get it back. Thanks Billy

Hi, Yesterday I went to pick up my DT125 LC 1982, It's a pretty nice looking bike and they've put quite a bit of money into it. However they haven't finished the wiring and I don't currently have a manual, does any of you know where to find free on-line manuals? Also I have part of the throttle cable that is broken (the nipple has come of the cable) so I need a new one but can't find them, so if you know where please tell me Pictures of the bike: Pictures of the wiring: The broken throttle cable: Thanks, Ollie.

So I go to get some oil for my bike as I've worked out she is a little low (after finding out where the viewing hole is and getting some to hold the bike up) and I've bought some Castrol Power 1 4T 10w-40. Had a look in the manual and whilst 10w-40 is fine the API should be SE, SF, SG or higher and as this is SJ, I presumed this will be fine. I had a quick look online as I know nothing about API ratings and apparently I shouldn't be using SJ and now I'm just confused. What are peoples recommendations as to the oil I should be using? Cheers /Steve
