  10. Hello, I am inheriting a 1978 DT 175 Enduro that needs a new crankcase cover. I will be getting my riding certificate soon and will be using the bike to get back and forth from work. However I want to get the cover before I take my rider's test. I've searched online but can't really find anyone that sells these. Can anyone give me some hints, suggestions, etc? Thank you, -Hutch

Headlight is fine when battery is fully charged but will turn dim at idle after running bike for about 30 min. (Battery not charging?) Will brighten when bike rpm is reved up. Any ideas? Thank you.

    Hey guys. I have a small problem with my helmet's visor. My wee brother in law decided it'd be a good idea to play with my helmet and place it visor down into our lawn that's covered in rocks and stones. Needless to say, the visor is now scratched beyond all hope of repair. I've tried polishing and using the special wax stuff. No joy Now has come the time where I'm scouring the internet for a replacement visor, only to find nothing at all in the way of them. Do you guys know if the GMAC Jaguar is exactly the same as another helmet with a different name, or if there are any replacement visors out there? I don't really want to spend money on a new helmet…
