This is such an understatement as everything that could of broke with the engine did lol. After a lot of swearing and asking for help and advice Robo (member of this group) came round to mine to lend a hand he got the bike running but it didn't sound good so we took the engine apart and realised that the previous owner must have known nothing about motorbikes and abused this bike no end, the engine was f&£ked and beyond repaire. That hit hard as I had spent a year building her. This is why you get the engine running first, a big…

Just bought myself a DT400e (1978) in rough condition for full resto. Just ordered up a full parts and also copy of a Yamaha engineering workshop service manual -I have found these two items invaluable in the past! Engine main bearings are shot - I am a pretty confident home mechanic, is this a task realistically achievable or am i better farming out to a specialist / who are they (I live in Newark, Notts)?

Hi all new here and wondered if anyone can help. I am currently restoring a 1987 Yamaha DT 50 MX for my son, its coming together but wheels really rough and was looking for a spoke set 5J0 2510400 (front) I was informed this product is discontinued. I have tracked down a set of spokes in USA for a DT50 but does not state MX. The US part Number is 17W- 25104-00-00 I am worried this will be wrong thing as it just doesn't list a MX. Says it will fit 1988 DT50 L, 1988 DT50 LC, 1988 Enduro DT50 U, 1989 Enduro DT50 W, 1990 DT50 LC (CA ED) and a 1990 Enduro DT50 A Can anyone give me any guidance on different part numbers..... are 5J0 and 17W the same thing just different …
