Hi could anyone advise me on the bolt type that the TT600RE uses to hold on the plastic chain guard & tax disc holder. Alan key type M8..? M6..? A2..? length 20mm, need a replacement for a sheard one and have no idea what they are.

Hi I've got a 1981 DT175MX. The carb on it, which I believe to be original, is model no 2H501. My Haynes manual has the spec for a 2h500, but not the 2H501. What I'm trying to confirm is the correct main jet for this particular carb. The bike came with a 170 fitted, and I reckon that's too rich - the bike struggles to get through 6000, but once through 6000, it takes off. Depending on what you read, it seems 130 or 160 are possible std sizes. Obviously once the main is sorted I can then fine tune the needle setting. Anyone able to help? Many thanks Lee

hi guys im a new user to this but i really need so help. i have my dt about 2 months now and it came with a worn down speedo drive its the black bit on the right side between the fork and the wheel. ive been send two of the same part by yamaha but both are to small and do not fit properly. i was told to get a number from under the seat but still got sent the same part. i was then told the forks i have on this model are Italian which leaves me completely clueless all i can do now is trust the shop i brought it from finds 1.... any feedback would be appreciated thanks......

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and have just started work on a 1979 DT250MX. I've had it in the garage for 14 years and it ran fine at that point but had a badly slipping clutch. A friend stripped the clutch down but couldn't fix it so it was left. I have now decided to re-commission it and have ordered new clutch plates and gaskets for it. I have a couple of questions though: 1. Can anyone tell me if all DT250 oil pump covers will fit or was the MX different? It has gone missing in the 14 yrs since I laid it up. 2. Are the dowels that go in the clutch side crank casing available new or are there other models dowels that will fit (I think there are a couple of th…

What's goin on guys, Im looking at a '72 LT2 locally with 1500 miles on it, guy wants $600 for it. There seems to be little to nothing about these bikes as far as specs etc, so I wanted to know what you guys think? It seems to have little to no rust and is complete. He claims the bike was running a year ago but has since been parked so its gonna need a new battery and a carb cleaning. I hate buying non running bikes. So, what should I expect from this little bike? I have a degree in auto-engineering and have built 2 strokes from the ground up before. Im dying to get on an older enduro they look like a blast. In addition, im almost 200 lbs... Im definately not gon…

Hi all, the bike is back out in the garden and being fixed and renovated ready for what will probably be more disasterous green laning antics. I registered back in july being an absolute noob with a cbt in the world of biking and was playing around etc with my dt125 for some laning fun. Now however i have done my theory and have booked my D.A.S in april easter bank holidays so finegrs crossed for that . Since then me my friend ( who brought a DT, which was last month stolen) and my dad who brought a rmx250 ( with his fancy pants full license) , have been out on several green laning sessions around east hampshire . So today on my day off i have been …

Hi all, I have a 86 TT225 that is in poor shape. I bought as a project for 50.00 on Craigslist. Its all there exept for some minot parts. The kick shaft is most concerning as it is rounded off and not functional. I have not been able to find a replacement shaft. I'm looking for opinions, part this think out on Ebay? Or make a go of it? I have restored a 1991 CBR1000f, 1971 Rokon 2 wheel drive, and a 95 CBR 600. I have the knowledge to do the job, just not sure of the machine and if its worth it to do the project. Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Until now I've beem fiddling about with my Honda CT90. Today I was at the recycle shop at the local rubbish tip and picked up a Yamaha 80 off road bike for $40. I took it to be a YZ 80 but on checking up the engine number (367-65XXXXX) on the net it appears it is a GTMX 80. Can anyone enlighten me on the year and what is the difference between the GTMX and YZ as they seem to have been made concurrently. Are there any common parts as there seems to be plenty of parts for the YZ around? It is complete except for fuel tank, gear lever, seat and the round plate on the LHS which shows a plate with an electrical coil but I assume the magneto? is …

hi has anyboby used this,i have a yamaha dtr125 just wondering if its worth the the 12.00 price rather than the 68.00 my local motorcycle shop quoted me to have the carb cleaned as apparently is does the same thing from the inside out?

hi lads my mate has given me his xt125r 05 to look at and It doesn't have any compression and won't start so i have started to take it to bits to check valves and what not but the timing marks on the cam sprocket don't match up with the mark on the case when piston is at top dead,Is the timing the same as an honda c50 like the o mark lines up with the v mark on the case,This is like 8 teeth out, Anyway if anyone can help me it would be great. thanks. ps i am new here and it looks good

I have another account on here, but i am sure it has been deleted for some reason, or maybe i have tried to recover from the wrong email account! i have been looking for a front disc for my 2004 DT125RE for a while, i made a build thread on my other account and am finding that the discs are expensive! anyone got one for sale or know a cheap online shop? cheers moz

Hello all, First Yamaha for this guy. Bought neighbors DT50 for my young one to learn how to ride/shift. Kicks over and starts/runs fine. Instantly goes to full throttle. Also, tach doesn't work and has a a couple broken lenses/stalks for signals. Are these easy to still purchase? Are any of these easy fixes? It is still using the Autolube system, which is working. Should I keep using it or bypass for premix. All of my other smokers are vintage and use oil injection, but are all Suzuki. Is the Yamaha system as reliable? Other than that, the bike is in solid original condition with only 1411 US miles on it. What else can anyone share on the older DT…
