    Hi all, please could anyone help me i have both a UK & German seat for a 1979/1980 dt 175mx. The German one is squared of at the back whilst the UK one is tapered , is this just down to the foam/seat cover ? hopefully the seat bases are the same, just hard to tell without stripping them both. Many thanks, Regards Ronnie

    Hi All The old girl is making noises, not the ones we want. My 1989 DT 175 exhaust is splitting in the first part of the seam, we have welded it up but experience tells me it will be a recurring job once we get to thgis stage. My question is are there any reasonably priced replacement expansion chambers available for the DT. I commute on her and my son has just got his license on it so she does get some miles. Thanks from Australia Brett PS thge 12v conversion has been faultless. 3000k so for good spark and good light.

    Hey, I've been looking for an answer for this and I can't seem to get one, even Yamaha gives me the run-around. I have the 2018 Yamaha YZF-R125 ABS, I am looking at getting a new after-market fairing. Trouble being I only see fairings advertised as 08-13. So the question then arises will the former fit the 2018 ABS variant? Has there been any changes to the fairing between 2008-2018 that can cause any issues with fitting? Thank you for your help
