Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes

I have a '77 DT400 that needs a new reed valve. I found and bought one for a '78 model (Have not received it yet) According to a Yamaha web site the '77 & '78 have different part #'s.I'm replacing the cage and reed assembly. Both are four reed set-ups though. My question is should this one for the '78 work in the '77. Thanks for any help.

does any one have any info to shere on a dt230 lanza.

Hi all, Just to say hello, and let you know what I will be picking your brains for during the next few months of the restoration. I have just acquired a non running 1979 DT175MX, it needs plenty of work to get it to its former glory, but I am looking forward to getting it mint. I have been reading the posts recently to get the bumf on what to look for which has helped alot. There is clearly a lot of knowledge out there, and hopefully as I get further into the restoration I will be able to add to it. Anyway, See you all on the forum, Taffny.

I have a 1992 WR200 that needs new plastics, from what I understand my bike is very similar to a YZ250. UFO makes plastics for that bike but has no listing for a WR200- does anyone know if the YZ panels will fit my WR?

Guys, Just a quickie, I'm relatively new to biking, started riding on the road last year and not a great mechanic either! I've noticed today that my brake light is not working on either front or back brake operation, It looks as if its stuck on, is there anything obvious I should be looking for? Before I dive in blind folded??

Right got the bike stripped down. Its a yamaha dtr125 1994 model with powervalve. but wont fire up, its got fuel in and theres a spark but heres the problem. Theres a spark when the ignition is not on but stops when ignition is live. So ignitions on and all lights, temp guage and powervalve works but theres no spark, then cut the ignition and theres a spark and it fires up for afew secs then dies again. Had this problem before it got stolen where the spark would sometimes stop and to start it you had to flick the ignition on while kicking it over. Could this be something simple ignition coil? or would a whole rewiring be needed? Also the nuetral light stopped workin…

Anyone know where I can get some replacement spokes (6) for the back wheel on an xt350??

I have a 1992 WR200 and am looking for an LED tail light strip to go above my license plate holder similar to the setup on most sport bikes. The bike is legal for the road and the original setup is very dim at idle so I'm hoping an LED might be a better way to go- any ideas where i might find such a thing? Any links to pictures?

Hi just a new member and still trying to find my way around, I am trying to find out the year of registration for my DT250, although it is registered as a T suffix the DVLA require a date, does anyone know how I go about finding this out. Thanks

It would appear my fuel tap is weeping fuel when turned on, only a very slight leak and doesn’t seem to cause any running problems however I obviously want to fix it. Is there anyone selling fuel tap repair kits for a DT175MX ???

has anyone out there used tyre weld on there wheels. i am thinking of carrying a can just in case of a flat tyre, is this a good idea .or is there a better one. im thinking of what to take in a brakedown kit.

As a new member, could someone please tell me what the correct tyre pressure should be for my DT 125 sm (05 plate) and could someone recommend a decent set of tyres as I think mine are prpobably past their best even thought the treads look ok. BTW, I use my bike for commuting only to and from work. Cheers

New to the forum, so thanks in advance. Got my 6yr old son a ttr50 over the winter. He loves it as its his first bike! The problem is that the throttle sometimes does not fully return to idle speed. At first I thought the choke did not fully close, but pushed that off. The twist grip does return to closed but the engine still revs higher than it should. This happens intermittently. When he's moving it seems ok, but when he comes to a stop in neutral it sometimes sticks. Any info would be helpful. I have a very basic knowledge of small engines. Thanks!

hello, I am gettin gready for my DOT (government inspection) of my DT 50. I took the left clutch lever switch assembly off to try blowing contact cleaner on my switches, my horn was not working too well. The high beam switch fel apart. Inside the black button that you slide back and forth is a clear plastic slide with brass contacts and a spring and ball bearing. The whole plastic contraption feel apart. No more headlights. I had to wire up a temporary SPDT switch for now, but it is ugly on my handle bars. Does anyone know where to buy the clear plastic guts to a high beam switch. Parts list only shows the whole left lever assembly as yamaha parts. I …
