    Hi Guys & Gals, Have been offered a totally dismantled tzr 250 3ma (I think)! and I fancy rebuilding it for a laugh. The only thing that concerns me is the availabatey of spares. Not really that worried about engine parts, it's more like the rubber groment for the fairing. Can anyone help this worry? Cheers Dave

    Hi Members, I've just started the journey of bringing a '74 DT 175 back to life. I've posted a picture of it as my profile. When my brother bought it, it started but the throttle was stuck. I already got the carburetor cleaned out and the throttle assembly working. List of things I know 'll have to go through: Clutch Suspension Lighting (missing left side switch and some headlight parts) I just ordered a hard copy version of the Workshop Manual from Ebay. Sean

    My name is Doug and I could really use some help with some specs here. I need to know the torque setting on the head bolts when tightening it, and how tight do you tighten the bolts on the pressure plate. Does anybody have a service manual they would be willing to part with for this bike?

    Hey, To begin with, Yamaha is my first bike ever, so been doing research to choose the right bike quite a time especially for supermoto. So got myself a new friend XT125X 11' which needs much love and new parts. Bought it as salvage, thought to be an cheaper option, but as it looks it won't be that way. Atleast I will be able to build it how I like Future plans: new exhaust (aftermarket), bar end mirrors, renthal bar, some TLC to get on road. How it sits now:

    New member from Australia (would you believe it?), and I'm looking at getting back into bikes, had a another brand of road bike, which I won't mention, and I'm not far off buying my mate's DT175 for $800AUD. Just came across the site looking for more info on the newer models, as we kept making them untill the late 90's if I recall. Anyway, I'll probably post a heap of help me topics when I actually get it, but I'll ask a few here now. The main one being, what oil do I run in it? I've grown up with chainsaws, so I know my way around 2 smokes, but autolubes are a new thing for me. I also want to jet it at some point, are jets readily available, any recommendations for j…

    Hello everybody! New to the forum, and hoping to to find a good sense of community here. I've got a Dragstar 650a classic, but it's been SORN for a year and a half to 2 years now, so will need some work done getting it back on the road. I have a few questions, starting with, any recommendation for a good MOT garage in Crystal Palace or surrounding area? and the second question is regarding the UK license, I been riding since I was 18 back in South america, but my license expired and now I'm taking my UK license as if I never rode a bike before just did my CBT and the theory test, I see that the practical final test is divided in 2 parts ( more chances …

  20. Started by Old mose,

    Hello All, I'm new at this so please forgive me if I blunder. I recently made a trade for a 77 XS400 which was in parts. I'm a retired auto mechanic so I have some mechanical ability and was able to get everything back together and working. I'm going for the cafe racer look so I purchased some drag bars. (to old to bend over for clipons or clubman bars) The screw heads on the throttle and switches are destroyed and I'm unable to turn them. I thought about cutting the heads off with a cutting wheel then take it apart and remove the remaining screw but I'm unable to find a diagram that shows if I will have a screw left to grab. Any info would help. Thanks
