I have a 1976 DT400 that is relatively new to me. In fact, bikes are relatively new to me. It starts and runs great, but has no battery, so I'm assuming it runs directly off the alternator? When I bought it the head & tail lights worked, but were very dim. Now they don't work at all, I've been told it's because the DC will burn out the lights because there's no battery. So - what parts do I need to get in order to bring it "back to stock?" By the way, the on/off switch is broken - I kill the bike by either the compression release or just stalling it out. And there are no turn signals either. I guess it's set up "hotwired." Any suggestions? I like cruising th…

I inherited it in 2004, It's a NZ import. Looks likes this one

my 2003 dtr has had all the usual restrictors took out and is fairly quick for a 125,but not quick enough. just ordered my full dep system today £220 front and back pipe.the bloke said i wont get the most out of it till i fit bigger jets,could anyone tell me what size jets ill have to go up to?ive read through the forum and all the info is conflicting.some are saying 230-240 and -250??? that seems a lot from (as far as i can gather)210 standard. is there any other thing i can do to make it any quicker or is that about it? ive got the racing reeds/plug.and as far as i can see all the restrictors are out apart from cutting the rubber off the inlet manifold,but then so…

Hi guys- im new to the forum (and new to an old dt 175.) at least, ive been told its a DT175, but i cant find anything that tells me for sure, also, I need to know the year of the bike. I dont have a photo right now, but it has a monoshock, appears to be late 70's, maybe early 80's. Can anybody tell me what some distinguishing factors might be of the years? Thanks Ben

Hi. I have an XT250, old X reg (early 80's I think). It's been off the road for over 10 years. The carb is locked up and probably other issues. There's no way I could spend time getting it back on the road. Does anyone know of a place near Oxford where I could get it fixed? Cheers. Steve B.

I HAVE THE ENGINE+ FRAME NO. OF A TY 175 I AM LOOKING TO BUY , CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF I CAN FIND THE AGE OF THE BIKE FROM THIS NO. ANY HELP GREATLY ACCEPTED CHEERS TREV.

On the carb (ignore the float bowl line and vacuum tube from afterburner to secondary carb and all other fuel links between the carbs) there are two outlet pipes at the rear of the carb (carb intake side). I suspect the one on the primary is an overflow, but haven't a clue as to the one on the secondary. Anyway, my inclination was to let them vent freely. Is this correct or do they have another purpose / connection?

Hi there, just got a XT 600 that has 20kw and as I understand the factory made two versions of it, one with 20kw and other 32kw. My question is that does somebody know how did they do it ? Is there a limiter or smth like that in the carb or maybe in front of the exhaust. Thanks for your help. Andre

I just got the bike and I would like to check the electrolytes in the battery. If it needs I will replace it but I can't even figure out how to get to the battery. I can see the leads and have been able to charge it , but I don't know what to remove to get to the battery itself. The manual doesn't tell you. Thanks

I have no spark. Does anyone have meter readings for the stator coils? Claude

In order to road register my TY175 in Ireland I need to obtain a certificate of year of manufacture; can anyone please advise how to obtain this certificate? PJ
