Hello guys. I didn't see an introduction spot in the forum, but I need help asap. I'm in PA and I fear one of my last riding days will be tomorrow. Let me start with an intro. I'm a 26 yr old male. I am an Isuzu nut. I frequent in a few isuzu forums. I own a 1989 I-Mark and a 93 Isuzu pup and have owned MANY Isuzu vehicles. I own my 1980 175 DT along with a 1982 Honda 3 wheeler 125 bored 50 over. I'm still getting the 3 wheeler put back together. I love off roading and ATV riding. I got my 175 DT recently for $300 and it's in pretty good shape. It's missing somer lights and stuff and I'm putting some on it so I can street ride it also. Now with that aside here is my probl…

Hi new here just purchased 1983 XT550 for next to nothing bike runs great. I cant leave well enough alone. I would like to do the usual gearhead stuff, exhaust, carb, brakes etc. I need parts sources common mods etc. Thanks for any help Crash

Hi guys, Hope you can help, i have been left a DT175 not sure if its an mx (have been advised its 1980s) by my late brother in law i have had to have a rebore of cylinder so new gaskets cylinder kit etc,and now have all intake rubbers that were missing. It has stood unused for maybe 3-4 years and have couple of snags The engine starts and runs from cold then after a short while it dies and fuel comes out of carb overflow port,i have taken carb off to check for dirt in float chamber and cleaned it out but still does it, any suggestions? Also bike goes into gear but no clutch control at all ,(clutch linkage moves )some one has mentioned the clutch basket but this…

I replaced the cylinder the piston(rebuilt the top-end) and after putting it all together it started the 3rd kick. After I turned the choke off it bogged down and died, and now it won't start at all. I have done a full carburator cleaning and cleaned up the staitor because it was rusty and it does have compression(around 190psi). Still won't start .... any ideas?

Hi there I just got a DT250 (I believe its a DT250MX from around 1977-80) which needs a little TLC. Does anyone know where I can get a Haynes Manual to help ensure I put it all back together? I'm in Germany. Thanks in advance for any help or useful pointers Martin

Hi Can someone advise me the correct torque wrench setting for the xt660z tenere engine oil, drain plug, hand book states 30nm, that seemes rather tight. just thought id double check as changed the oil yesterday although when using a new washer, it seems to be getting tight, but its as the washers compressing. just tightened it to 25nm in the end, but obviously dont want it to come loose. any advice appreciated.

hi everyone has anybody looked into converting a dtre 125 to a 200 or 230,i realise they will have different size bores,the main thing i am thinking is,is there enough room to fit the 200,230 crank with the longer con rod into the 125 crank cases,maybe a air cooled dt175 crank,any ideas welcome,has anybody had the 125 crank cases apart and noticed how much room around crank webs for a bigger crank. look forward to hearing from you all. cheers yamahait

hi can anyone help me with the valve settings? the manual says: inlet: 0.05 - 0.09 exhaust: 0.11 - 0.15 where do i set them? cheers

hi, having not long passed my test (and finally convinced the other half to let me buy a bike!) i bought a ttr 660 locally. however i cant seem to find out any info on this bike? power, value etc. any info would be greatly recieved. its a 1999 ttr 660

Hi Guys I’ve posted a couple of times here regarding my 1980 DT 175MX which I’ve converted down to a 125 by swapping the barrel, head and piston. Hopefully you can help me with this one! After running the 125 engine for a few miles I decided that the honing I had done hadn’t been enough and it sounded like I had a bit of piston slap so I decided it needed re-boring and a new piston. Job done and I picked it up yesterday. At home I looked at the piston and realised it was different from the original. It has no open ports on the reed valve side of it, and is solid all the way round other than the hope for the gudgeon pin. The make is Mitaka. Duly took it back and the cha…

Hey everybody, My names Matt. I just picked up a 1978 DT off the side of the road for free. It is in pretty good condition but has not ran for some time. I am gonna tear it down and clean it up but first I need to ask a favor, I have no idea what bike I have. I know its a 1978 by the Manufacture plate. And Its definitely a DT. But I cant figure out how big the engine is. I know, kinda silly but I really appreciate any help!

Hi all. Iv got an xt 125 x 07 plate and it has a custom made ASBO exhaust end can. it does about 60 mph top end, it climbs to 60 quickly but then it just stops so i was wondering if there was some sort of restrictor anywere on the bike. Thanks for any help, much appreciated

DT125R Ok anybody have any ideas of getting the bearings out of the relay arm. I'm replacing them and the swing arm ones too. Tried hitting them with a screwdriver but they wont budge. I would use a blow torch but i've just had them powdercoated so its not possible.

does any one know of anywhere you can get new plastic sets aftermarket would be exellent also decent graphics considering respraying the dt

Hi, I have recently bought a Yamaha DT 125 RE 07 model. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is possible to have supermoto wheels on this bike? or what I would need to have supermoto wheels on it. any help would be appreciated. thanks Jake.

hi all, new to this forum. just got me a dirt bike YAY.... anyways i have a 75 dt125 that runs good but needs a little work. I also got a 76 dt175 as a parts bike. Was wondering if id be able to use the exhaust, and sprockets from the 175 on my 125?

OK, well, the DT125 is still waiting for me to get round to doing anything with it, but I've had my hands full runnng about after the G/F who has 'ideas'! Last one she had was to restore a bike..... so she took my 750 to bits! THOUGHT I'd solved that problem getting her a little Honda Super-Dream to play with, but no! We were looking at some old pictures & vids, of me trials riding, and NOW she wants to have a go at dirt-riding.... LUCKILY the DT is to tall for her to ride..... UN-LUCKILY my beloved 1981 Montesa Cota 248, that I have had since it was just over three years old, ISN'T.... In fact, its just RATHER small enough for her to be coveting it.... So befor…

Hey was just wondering if a zy 85/125 endcan would slow down my bike? Also whe you take out the snorcal how much do u upjet it by? Thanks

I recently acquired a 74 DT175(A?). I have a Clymer Manual which is maddenly evasive in stating the proper float level height for this carb. The Float Level table in Clymer page 86 only shows info for these models: GT Series, YZ80a, DT100A, MX100A, AT1 series (and MX), AT2, AT3, AT2-MX, ATMX, DT125A, MX125A, YZ100C, YZ125A, CT1 series, CT2, CT3, DT125A, MX175A Is DT175A the correct designation for 1974 and could it be equivalent to AT2 or CT2 or CT3? Thanks!
