just fitted the original mag on the Gilera, but he spark is very weak. I'm thinking that the mag has lost most of its magnetism (they lose it when knocked, not bridge capped or just age) does anyone know if someone has a growler or offers this type of service in the uk?

Hey there, I jst picked up an old DT175 in pretty good condition. It was running until i cleaned up the carb, although barely. Anyway, I pulled offthe flywheel cover to clean the points and there was fuel inside - What does that mean? It was not fireing the spark plug, but it had enough juice to power the light meter when kicked prior to pulling the cover. Anyhelp would be a great. I don't have a lot of tech knowledge but thought this might be an easy project as it was running. Maybe some bad seals. Thanks.

hi there I have a 1999 fzs 600 and a want to convert my clutch from cable to hydraulic can it be done and is it wise to do so would be helpful if you could get back to me on this matter thanks and happy riding

Hi all. This is only my second post I have introduced myself so dont shoot me!!! Im only 3 months old in biking terms and did a rather silly thing with my 2013 diversion xj6. Whilst pushing it into a bike park area at work I didnt realise that I had connected with a pole that was slowly bending the wing mirror back. So much so that it snapped off including the arm! Im just wondering if it is an easy enough job to buy a new one and fit it myself. Im quite handy. Is this advisable and if so where is a reputable source for a replacement? Cheers all!

Hi all, I bought a 1979 DT 175 back in the summer, was told it had had a rebore and new piston, first ride and piston holed ! Damn. Anyway, took it apart, and replaced the piston and rings with new, back together and nothing, well not quite. When I first tried to start it it fired and ran for about 10 secs, since then zilch ? All it does is the occasional backfire ? There is fuel in the bowl. The piston is in the right way. The carb has been cleaned both manually with a guitar string pushed through all the holes then ultrasonically. I did a compression test the result being 100 psi cold which I don't think is too bad considering the rings are new and haven't had the …

Hi all, wondering if anyone can help, basically my bike neutral light never goes off, it's always on and my thoughts are a damaged cable however looking I haven't got a clue how to get to the cable it's a sr and would really appreciate help There isn't anyway to open it up and access cables or anything Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I turn the ignition the powervalve only moves a little bit and it sounds quite and laboured is this right or does it need setting up my friends 04 dt sounds like it moves a lot more when it starts up compared to my 2002

Surprise surprise my bike has gone from needing a simple repair and gear shaft to £700 min of work. The starter motor has collapsed. It was in a poor state so can't question it. New ones are £300 but I've seen a used one on eBay for £50. Will I be ok using a second hand one? It needs a new battery because it was stood for 5 months. The battery was brand new a few months ago, surely it will charge or is this correct? Thanks

My chain broke this morning, a bit lucky I was only doing about 30 mph and chain wrapped around front sprocket. Anyway removed the demolished chain but found a nylon block inside the front sprocket cover. I am assuming it is probably a chain guide but where does it go or fit in the cover , it was just laying loose when I took it off and cant find anything in the workshop manual that helps.

I am on my 3rd headlight bulb in the space of 6 weeks the last one lasted 3 days of use I have had the bike for a little over18 months with no problem with them until recently, the only thing that has changed is I am now doing 80 miles most days for work. The bike is unfortunately kept outside and was wondering if it could be a water problem. Any one else had this problem or any ideas

Hi Chaps i've just got my '89 DT 125 R, it was running fine but all of a sudden when riding it for the first time it totally cut out. It did not have any power at all then twisting the throttle. I stopped at the side of the road and it stalled, I kick started and it started first time, then ran fine again. I thought something could be blocked so i have cleaned the carb and the jet. I took it out for another ride and for a while it was fine totally back to normal. After about 30 minutes of riding it totally lost power at 7000 RPM, it sounds all spluttery through all gears and as it approaches the power band 7K it is awful! Now it seems to struggle to get to 40m…

I've been having trouble to get my dt 125 To idle and rev properly but now I seem to have got it to idle better and adjusted the pv as the hole didn't line up and it seemed to pull and rev a lot better but after give it a quick ride to end of road and back to see if it was running ok which it was I started to ride home and about half a mile down the road it started bogging and losing power and when I kicked it over again it started and then just died could this be a problem with the fuel tap like dirt In the filter or something and if the rubber that joins the exhaust to the end can is knackerd and split could this cause and air leak or compression issues any help be much…

Hey All. I picked up a new top box for my 125 Dragstar and noticed that it had break & indicator lights. The lights on my bike currently are just old fashioned bulbs. Is there anything in particular I need to do to wire these up? I'm not the best at techy stuff I admit. Cheers.

i got a yamaha dt125r and i just found out that it was a 1992 not a 1998 i had to buy a wiring loom but could only get the 1999 wiring loom but now i have to connect this loom to the generator and cdi i need some help to find out what year cdi i need and did the 1992 dt125r have a servo motor (i thought that the 1992 dt125r did not come with a servo motor) i have an old 1992 cdi i have not tryed to connect this to the 1999 wiring loom. does anyone know if this would work and how does the servo motor connect to a 1999 wiring loom coz a 1997 onwards servo motor connects to the cdi .

Hi everyone. A quick question I hope. But I have a Yamaha XJ600 pre-diversion and i was looking for a top box but I wasn't sure if I needed to buy a rack before I bought a top box. Or do are there any top boxes which I can buy which will fit right on with adaptors included. I'm sorry if this seems a twattish question but I thought I'd ask the more experienced of you out there.

hi every one out their my name is adrian and i have a dt125lc mk3 that i would iike to get the power valve working on .i would like to no witch servo to put on can i use the 3 wire or 5 wire one and do i nead to use a controller unit all so are power valve parts from rd mk2 or tzr mk1 compatible thanks

I took the carb of for a clean to make sure nothing was blocked or dirty as the bike wouldn't rev or idle properly now I've put it back together and it wouldn't rev past about 5k and when throttle was held open it would just bog and die and now the bike won't start I checked the plug and it was black I gave it a bit of a clean and tried again but nothing any ideas what might have happend

My 2002 dt 125 seems to bog before it revs and doesn't like to idle on its own sometimes the revs drop and then the bike just cuts out is this a carb issue as I'm not to sure
