[Bit of trouble in the road! Any idea's?]

never came back did he?

Nope

[Difference between DT, DTR and DTRE]

Which Pre 2004 had electric starts? I know of a few imports that did. French i think.

I might be wrong then, a guy i used to go to college with when i had my dt had a pre 04 model and I could of sworn it had an e-start.

Nice to see you around again by the way.

[Bit of trouble in the road! Any idea's?]

if the chain came off and was wrapped around the front sprocket it shouldnt have been hard to push and shouldnt have locked up the rear?

[front fork stanchions bent - Xt125 x]

How did they get bent?!

As long as they arent creased you will be able to have them straightened, shouldnt cost that much. A slight bend will be fine.

[Washing a bike!]

Use something like muc-off, let it soak in for a few minutes then pressure wash it off. Pressure washers are fine as long as you dont blast your chain or any bearings (Like wheel bearings) with it.

[Meme challenge]

This is going to be a good thread haha

[Number plate size]

I got pulled at Matlock last year for a slightly small plate, was the size just under the normal size. He let me off with a warning but i just use the full size plate now, I cant be arse with un necessary agro.

If you want fast itl have to be a rage comet, not cheap but at 200bhp with a zzr1400 engine its not slow!

Being realistic i dont know sorry. Im sure they made one with a fireblade engine too which should be reasonably priced on the second hand market.

[Difference between DT, DTR and DTRE]

Theyre too soft to be an enduro

[Difference between DT, DTR and DTRE]

But the pre 2004 models also had electric starts but were called the DTR.

The newer model is the DTRE post 04

[im coming back! hopefully with a YZF600r]

I frequently ride 150 miles going home on the R6 and dont have a problem. Youre young, youll be fine! Make the most of whilst you can.

[Did anyone do something interesting today]

Planet Rock replaced Kerrang this year, sucks i know =(

Its still on the tele though

[Moto gp 4 rider teams]

You might be right Noise but I wouldnt be surprised if he does come back, theres already been talks of him entering as a wild card this year.

[My XT600]

Niice! Would be awesome with some supermoto wheels =)

[Yamaha DT125R]

My dt was always like this, you had to catch the revs just right otherwise youd lose 6th gear amd have to knock it back down to 5th. I think its because the dt has pretty high gearing, once 6th catches the bike would fly!

[Evotech Tail Tidy on my FZ6]

Looks really tidy, good choice.

@corrieboy could i see yours on the r6? Iv been tempted by one but im not sure how itl look (i dont mean to thread hijack btw sorry!)

[Thundercat before she goes...]

I like that, looks much more comfy than my r6 haha

[My yamaha r6]

Nice bike

[Moto gp 4 rider teams]

So 4 riders per team seem to be on the cards? There was talks of Stoner coming back, surely itl happen now. Also this must mean a factory Yamaha for Cal and surely something for Redding?

Interesting how Honda manage to make things work to help themselves again, I didnt realise it was so obvious until I read the thread about no more 2T bikes.

[Did anyone do something interesting today]

Youll be fine, it took me a while to notice the spelling mistake...

[MT-01 **Edit** NEEDED]

Looks like you can only buy them new for the mt direct from yamaha (according to akros site)

http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/accessories/index.aspx?productCode=SL&redirect=false

You should be able to find them on there. Im sure a Canadian dealer could sort you out with some.

[Dont they make 2 stroke MX bikes anymore? and why?]

Iv not seen any of the big four producing off road bikes for a few years now, not in this country anyway because of all the emissions.

[Dont they make 2 stroke MX bikes anymore? and why?]

I think its only the European guys now that make 2T such as KTM, Husky and Husaberg etc.

The DT will go up in value in around 10 years time but I dont know if it would be worth holding onto. I know the TDR 250 is pretty valuable now and would be worth getting hold of one if you can, also an rs250?

I sold my DT RE around 5 years ago with 14k on the clocks for £1900 so they still seem to be depreciating at the moment.

[In the midst of purchasing a 2003 WR250F, just a few questions.]

This looks like a great fun bike, I just hope its not going to be a commuter!

They dont have a key ignition either do they?

[Weekend in Cornwall]

Dont get me wrong, just because it was a long way away doesnt mean i didnt ride it, i still needed to get my bike down there for uni! Lived in Falmouth for over 3 years, some amazing roads down there.
