Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes

Hello, First post and visit at this forum. I just took my XT350 out of storage from winter and I cant get it to start. I drained the old gas and put in some fresh stuff and just cant get it to fire. I dont know much about motos mechanically but something def doesnt feel right when I try to kick start it. It almost seems to "easy" when kicking down the starter. Anyone have any ideas what I need to be checking?

Trying to start this basket case after rebuilding carb and putting back together. Will hit a time or two with help from starter fluid but then plugs immediately are oil fouled, with excess oil leaking from exhaust port. I'm guessing the wd40 and oil i put in the plug hole to free the rings may be the problem? The bike had been sitting for 15 years. I got 110# compression (cold), spark, and fuel. If there is excess oil in the bottom end, how to get it out? Or any other suggestions? TIA

hey guys i need a little help trying to set the timing on the enduro. I bought a factory service manual and im getting a little confused on how to do it. Is there anyway to set the points without the point checker? Thanks in advance, Justin

Hi guys Can anyone shed some light on model information please? I've just bought a DT175 mx - it has frame and engine prefix 2KR. I can't remember from my youth the differences between the various models. This bike has the silver box section swinging arm. Did that come before or after the model with the black tubular swinging arm? Cheers Lee

im thinking of getting a 30mm pwk flat slide carb, just wondering what improvement would it have?

i recently had my engine out because the gears weren't right so i sorted that, now i think that the clutch is unbalanced. can anyone tell me the symtoms of an unbalanced cluth please.

dont know if anyone knows how to pressurise the front brake. basically some numb nuts over tightened the fixing on my front caliper and threaded the pin so ive since had it helicoiled to save cash on buying a new caliper. so far ive refitted the caliper and the hose to the correct torques that i found in my haynes manual. ive bled the hose and and made sure theres no air in the system. i was told to put a clear pipe on the nipple so you can see the air which has been done. ive then closed the nipple and pumped the brake for ages re-opened and closed the nipple and pumped again. i cant find any leaks anywhere but i just cant get it pressurise... HELP ME!

Hi. I have a 1997 Diversion XJ900S and it runs like a dream. Steady as a rock, But when I let go of the hands it starts to vobble. I have had bikes before and never experiensed this. Don´t say " keep the hands on". I just want to knew if it´s a diversion feature or a bug. What kan I do to prevent it? Are there any vobbling steer gas dampers to use? or is the barings of the steering axel bad? Best regards Anders

Hi guys, Hopefully you can help me again. The 175 MX is almost back on the road as a 125 MX. New piston in, engine back together and sounds good, exhaust back on (slight leak at the manifold but fire gum will sort that) electrics all back together and working and the indicators flash wonderfully, but ...... when the lights are on, so do they! Any quick ideas? Everything else seems fine. Brake lights work, horn, speedo light, rev counter and the warning lights work now (someone had managed to mix up the rev counter, indicator and neutral lights when they had put it together at some point!) As soon as I have the lights on with the indicators I have both lights and ind…

This is probably a silly question but can anyone confirm that the TT600RE speedo should illuminate when the light are on.? If as I believe the answer is yes any advise on how to replace the bulbs as, as it's now dark I've just noticed mine is not visible at night.

Hi all. This bike is a 1992 YZ80D and it blows crank case oil out of a bypass hose when it's under load. Anyone hazard a guess as to what the fix might be before I start taking things apart? I've never had one of these apart, but will have to shortly if my daughter wants to keep riding this thing. I have an owners service manual, but it lacks a diagram that might reveal how pressure is building in the crank case under load to blow out oil. It's getting worse so I'll have to do something about it this winter to have it ready for spring. Any insight people here might have to offer would be welcome. Ian Edit - Crank case... not crack.. save me!

Hi all, I,v just finished a rebuild on my 1977 DT 175. Its all going not too bad, but the speedos not working. I,v checked the cable and the drive all seems to be working the fault seem to be in the clock. When I turn it by hand it some times works. The thing is, can you take them to bits to check inside? Any advise would be good. Thanks Wullie

hi everyone, this is an urgent ask for help. on my way to college for a test i broke down, managed to start it and it then conked out again about a mile down. It sounded like it was running low on fuel but a have half a tank. it's now in my garage after a much needed recovery before my hands iced over and the compression, fuel, oil and spark are all fine. i thought it might by carb-icing but i have warmed it up and still nothing. would much appreciate a reply asap, thanks, Jack.
