Had my dtr stolen from my girlfriends after leaving it in a locked parking zone over night. They came lifted over fence and pushed in half a mile through a field to steal it :(. was just going to nip home at about 10:30 instead i went and locked up and stayed! its in the middle of no where. im very sad was my first bike (or motor vehicle for that matter) and i know i wont find one like it again. i bought it for 950 and it was a wreck. fixed it up mint only just really got it running perfect after purchasing at the end of january. im round the midlands DY postcode area. Bike reg WX51 LXN with dep pipe otherwise just standard black. i know its lost though =[…

Need to buy carburetor needle valve assembly for 1974 Yamaha Enduro DT400. Does anybody know where I can purchase these parts?

But before I dive headfirst into this I want to know if anyone has had some experience with this conversion or a similar conversion and if they have any advice. That way I don't make the same mistakes they do. More impo…
