THANKS 4 COMMENTS IF ANY

Hey everyone new to the site. Just picked up a 77 DT 400 lastnight. The bike is missing the fuel/air mixture screw and I'm being told it is disconituned from yamaha. Does anybody know if the part from a diff bike like a dt 250 or something would be the same thanks Rocky

Hi,thanks everyone for your previous help,greatly appreciated!! I was woundering if anyone knows whether or not the power valve servo can be interchanged with a wireing modification,i believe the early type have a 2 pin plug and 1 seperate bullet connector and the later type have a 4 pin plug and 1 bullet connector,,the later unit can be purchased fairly easily whereas the early unit seems to be like rocking horse droppings,as far as the wiring on the early unit i presume (seeing as only 3 wires)the connections must be ignition positive an earth and a pick up from the coil/cdi unit. Any help would be greatly recieved.....Tim

hii, i've got a yamaha dt 125 and the exhaust is standard apart from the back pipe which is the big one end can, i was wondering would a dep end can fit the standard exhaust or would i have to get the whole dep exhaust

I've got a 'south african' DT125D aircooled (2005) Could anyone please tell me the specifications of the following carb parts? (It uses a VM24SS Mikuni) Main jet = Jet needle = Needle jet = Pilot jet = Thank you in advance, Luis in SA

Hi,can anyone tell me what causes the petrol tap to go tight,can it be fixed ? Or is it a replacement ? Need to sort it as it was so tight tonight i nearly had to use a pair of pliers on it!! Lol, Cheers Tim

Hi all, i'm getting rid of the suzuki and looking at possibly a TDR to replace it. I'm going to have a look on the forum but i'm guessing a lot of the members are probably on here too. So good/bad. From my point of view i want a practical classic that i can leave std, wash, polish and harp on about how i dreamed about them when they were first out. I don't want a project just a tidy quick bike i can keep in real good nick and use. Personally i would prefer to pay extra for a proper minter.

i have a 1978 DT400 i just picked up , wiring is all messed. i got a wiring diargram from a fellow member but im stumped, im not going to use any lights or anything, so what are the basic things that need to be hooked up for it to run without a battery? or run at all for that matter.

had a go on an older 1990 dtr with an engine and plastics off a 2003 model few weeks ago, took it for a spin and noticed when it was in gear at times i would pin the throttle and sometimes it would just continue going as it was or the engine would pick up very slowly but when it hits higher revs it revved freely and when clutch was held in it revved freely again, what could cause this cause ive never rode a dt before but am interested in this bike

XT - TT 350 Chain Guide Wanted Sorted, Thanks to all who replied Many Thanks Dave

Hi there, I have a PW80 which is using lots of fuel. There is a thin plastic tube running off the carb and it seems to be losing lots of fuel via this. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi all i have a 2009 xt125x and the dealers say it should do 71mph and so do yamaha does anyone no of any mods to either exhaust, air box or any other area that can be changed to get a little bit more from it cheers tony....

on the jug of the dt400 does the valve on the front work like the newer powerban on my kx, and how does it effect the performance?

Hi, help wanted. Have been a bit unlucky or un-careful recently as I have managed to hole two pistons on my bike. I had just finished rebuilding the DT as a 175 (previously 125 which holed a piston sparking off the 175 conversion) and it had been running fine except that when I checked the spark plug it was a bit sooty (dark brown) so I went one grove down on the needle, from 4 from the top down to 3. Took it down the bypass to see what it would do and holed the piston again this afternoon!! Oh BUGGER !!! The advice wanted is, do I need to strip the whole thing down again? Is it possible/safe to remove the barrel etc and turn the engine upside down and spray engine cleane…

Managed to find myself a nice 1978 DT 175 MX the other day, after a bit of bartering I got the bloke down to £120, she's a bit rough, but after swapping the crank (looked like it had been sat in water for 10 years), she ran like an absolute dream. Anyway, I'm just wondering what they fetch running & on the road nowadays, and if anyone knows any places to buy new old stock. I'm also thinking about parts, I seem to remember pretty much _everything_ on the DT 125 and 175's were the same, apart from the bores and the fact the 175 head had 6 nuts instead of 5 or somthing, and the 5 plate clutches on the 125 instead of the 6plate clutches of the 175. I'm wanting to…
