Any help appriciated, thanks

    Hey guys, So I was riding my AT1 today and I noticed my back brake had some travel I wanted to eliminate (The bike has drum brakes, by the way.) I tightened it WAY too much, but seemed to work ok until I went to slow to pull into my driveway. I hit the back brake with normal pressure and the wheel completely locked. I got it to unlock and adjusted the brake out until the bike moved freely again and took another test ride. Whenever I would slow to come into a stop, the back wheel would lock. Ok, easy fix, just adjust it out more, right? Apparently wrong. I have it currently adjusted out so that it doesn't lock when you hit the brake at normal pressure, but the…

    I have an ole xt350. The spokes are rusting. I have cleaned and waxed the spokes but the rust comes back pretty quickly. I was wondering if anyone has painted the spokes. If so what did you use? Did you brush or spray it on? Thanks for the help Gary

    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

    Hello... I've recent bought a DT125LC Mk2 'field bike' which I intend to restore, and put back on the road. The seller says it is a 'B' or 'C' '85' or '86' DT125 LC Mk2. I won't actually see it until tomorrow as its an EBAY buy, but from what I have seen in the photo's there does not seem to be much difference between the Mk1 & Mk2, albeit I see that the radiator on the Mk2 has a small fairing in the right. As expected its missing the clocks, side panels, and the small fairing over the radiator. I know that early DT's are now like hens teeth (I've just started to restore an '83' plate DT125MX and it seemed that there are still plenty of parts for the 125/175MX). D…

    hi guys, i've recently had some issues with my new bike. keeps spluttering on the power band and when you try to maintain your speed! i've changed the plug for a 8 instead of the 9, new air filter and new 2 storke oil. i ran it down to my local bike shop today and asked them to give it a quick compression test. it was only a young lad who did so was a bit uncertain if he knew what the comp should be! this is how he did it, and the results:- ingnition on, 3 pulls on the throtle. then 3 kicks where it reached 140 psi. then 3 more where it made 160 psi was the correct method and are those good results?? i'm certain a red up on here it should be around 150 psi on …

    I became the new owner of a 1982 XT125 that is in great shape. But it cut's out when ever you go past 1/2 throttle. Runs awsome other-wise. Have pulled carb an cleaned, idles fine, checked fuel tank , lines , filters, all flow fine. Acts like lacking gas , but I know thats not the case. I do have an issue with the lights though. If I turn on the signal lights with the brake on , the signals won't work right and the tail-light dims. I have tried by-passing the little green thing bolted to the frame neck on the right side with a red & white wire and lights work fine then. Don't know what that part is nor can I find it to buy. Also does it need to have a battery to funct…
