Hello people, i'v e got a 05 DTX. I've heard people talk about the power valve where the exhaust meets the barrel. What do you do to it? And will that work on my 05? Not really sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Ok so ive been thinking up ways of improving the DT's performance off road, my main gripe is that the suspension is very obviously setup for road use, and is far too spongey and wallowey for my liking off road on jumps etc. Been talking to a mate who have owned a YZ and he said that the swingarm, rear shock and front forks should all bolt up to the DT... is this correct? And if so, will the DT wheels fit the YZ gear? Been told the speedo drive wont work so will need a digital speedo with magnetic drive, and that i will need longer cables making up, that side of things doesnt bother me, just wanting to make sure everything else will work? If not, any advice on ot…

Hey, ive got a DT125X, ive done the wire behind the speedo, and got a full dep exhaust pipe, and took the snorkel off the air box under the seat. All together they have made it considerably quicker! I've heard, it's then good to change the jets to bigger ones. Any idea of what's the best size to go for? And also the reed valve. I'm not fully up to speed with reed valves, i've never had one in my hands to look at. Any advice on whick is the best ones to get and where from? Thank you people, and god bless this forum for being full of genius'! lol

So, My insurance has came through for my XJ600N, hoooraa ! was reading all my information that came with it and it appears that my policy coveres me (third party) for driving another bike, (as long as its insured by someone) Was speaking to my old man about it, and he suggested he got his 2 BSA's on the road to go for a few trips this year, and same again next. so, what one should i ride ? The Bsa B40, or the Bantam D5? anyone got any encounters with any of these bikes ? i can remember sitting on the back of the b40 since i was just tall enough to reach the foot pegs

Hi Guys I am sorry if this is covered else where on this forum, but i have just recently purchased a RS100 for a restoration project. Trouble is that although i have now got it running well the electrics were shot. After buying a new battery the electrics worked for about 30 minutes before packing up never to work again. I have now completely rewired where necessary according to the haynes manual, but although my battery has power, as soon as i connect it to the rectifier it doesn't read any voltage. also the power isn't getting to the ignition. The bike still runs but i have no lights or power to the rest of the bike. Can anyone enlighten me as to what the iss…

Hey guys, With my MX boots on i cant get my stoopid huge size 13 pasty in between the peg and shift lever properly. i have moved it round on the splines so it sits high enough for me to fit my foot under, but its way too high and the action is far from smooth as the lever is sitting way beyond where it is meant to be! Also having a lot of accidental changes as a result of this. I can change just fine with the lever in standard position if i am wearing trainers, but this really isnt a good idea when im off road eh! What im after is a Longer lever, so as it does not have to be so high, that way i should still be able to get my boot under it and change gear and even…

Hi All, I have a 250LC 1980, I am having running problems when on the road at around 5,000 rpm it will run fine, if i open it up through the gears for aaround 30 seconds, it just cuts out, just like when you go from fuel on to reserve. I then pull over and the bike kickes over after about 30 seconds. the bike is all standard with the right size jets etc, I have removed the tank and cleaned, I have cleaned and checked the fuel tap as well. I have run out of ideas now, has anyone had come across this before? Is there anything else I need to check, is driving me mad as the bike goes very well if you dont open it up!! Any suggestions welcome. Thanks, Mick.

Hi Guys, Got a new throttle/ oil pump cable from wemoto for the DTR, but when I put it on the bike the oil pump section seems way too long, doesn't even start to open the oil pump when the carb cable is fully tight, could I be fitting it wrong? There are not adjusters on the oil pump cable... Cheers

Having replaced the ignition switch on my bike as you could start it with a screwdriver blade, it was so worn you could start it with the handle end!! I've now got yet another key! I really could do with only ONE key, trouble is I can't see how i can!!! I've now got 5 keys! The original key for the steering lock and another for the helmet lock which is non original. The new one for the ignition switch and one for the top box,plus the chain lock key! I was thinking about getting a locking petrol cap but that means getting yet another key!! making six! Surely I'm not the only ONE? Can anybody beat my set of keys?
