Hi having just acquired an original 1978 DT I have already found the forums on here to be especially helpful, I live in central france and since acquiring said bike am just loving getting out on are local trails here in La correze. Am looking to leave the bike as is but want to give it a bit of tlc, something it's been missing of late. Will post a few photos once taken for anyone who's interested.

Like most of my generation got into bikes by beating around on little farm bikes in place that i shouldn't have! Did my test as a young man and had a variety of work bikes and the little work hack. Just got back to being a yamaha owner after a break of five or six years. Had the old diversion which i toured all over europe on. Unfortunately met a drunk driver and it ended up in the scrapyard. By this time kids had arrived and i got a little Honda CB500 for hacking back and forth to work. Wife said i deserved a new bike so got a new diversion not long ago, l loved my old one, this is even better.

Hi All, Just found this forum and joined. I live in Southern California. I recently purchased a 1970 Yamaha 250 Enduro DT1C.It's going to take some work to get it going again, but I'm looking forward to the task. I've been riding and racing off road more than 40 years. I got my son started when he was 6 yrs old (he's 30 now). We mostly ride vintage Husqvarna's now, but I also have several other off road bikes. Also, currently restoring a 1969 Yamaha 250 DS6C Scrambler. Thought the DT1C would be nice to have something to putt around town on, without having to drive to the desert first. Look forward to helping when I can and will probably have more t…

Hi new member to this forum and bikes.. the crazy thing is i found a cheap 1992 XJ600 Seca II, which i think i will try and get running. The bike is complete and rolling as 1 though requires a little bit of work (well from what the seller said). I brought the bike and silly me did not hear it running (yes now i know that could be a bad thing) as the seller did not have a battery but did say it had a stater issue. The rest of the bike is there so i thought great fix that clean up the bike get my licence for the bike and ride, once comfortable clean it up and make it a better bike... So here i am.. looking forward of learning how to get this bike fixed.. 1st job is to g…

Colin from sunny north ayrshire in Scotland, got a 1998 thundercat, having a few proplems with it, with the revs hanging. It had lay about for 8 year before I got it, oil filter got changed and it was riding ok until it started cutting out when pulling up to stop junctions or lights, the rpm was round about the 500/600rpm, so thought about turning them up, and then it started hanging at the 2000rpm before it came back down after 30 sec. i cleaned out the carb and that, oiled the throttle cables and even disconnected the return cable so the spring back is ok, trying to adjust the pilot screws because I heard on another forum, but it be anything else or is anybody managed t…
