Hi guys.. I'm in dire need of help with my little one! I've sold it to my girlfriend, just before the winter, before winter layup, she was as sweet as anything, only little niggldy electrical problems. After the winter, i noticed that she was as difficult as anything to start, and once she was actually trying to move, she was spluttering and repeatedly flooding the spark plug. Few days after, I noticed that she kept spitting fuel back out of the overflow in the carb.. So my immediate thought was worn float needle/seat. Dropped the carb, inspected it all, and theres some reasonably bad wear on the needle where it sits, so i'm trying to find another.. If anyone out there can get ahold of a part number that I can order another with I'd be severely grateful! It might also be worth noting that when the engine is warm, as in worked past the repeated spluttering, she seems fine, starts first or second kick and rides just fine.. so im really thinking that the needle being worn will allow too much fuel through and that, being the actual problem here, making it splutter.. So when the engines warm, it keeps the fuel vaporised and it burns easier, so in my eyes, it makes sence

Hey again Yamahaclub Just checkin' in again.. I would like to know if the TDM850 would be a good bike for A2 license. My dad is either going to give me his old Z650 (Kawasaki) which is an awesome little cruiser.. not that I'd ever ride it on the road of anything .. Or the TDM850 from 1991. My thoughts are that as the TDM is a V-twin, it'll stop the 33Bhp restrictor from making it splutter as theres more low range power than the inline on the Z. Any thoughts? But i'm sure the Z would be cheaper on insurance as its a classic, and its a lower CC. Happy new year!

excess fuel, nothing major to worry about

very true, my guess is that its running a bit rich, or you've over filled it like mentioned

It looks lovely, but as you say, if its not running great, you will be taking a risk, either way, if you DO buy it But with a little bit of TLC, and elbow grease, that bike will be Smokin!

hey Hope you have fun!

i've got a copy of the Dt50MX manual laying around somewhere on this pc, if you still need it i will gladly upload it, it has all of the torque settings

Ohhhh what a coincidence

Yes, it would be illegal probably (not 100% sure) However, he SHOULD have called you first, that is very unfair.... And the 50cc doesnt really matter, but tha Tax.... :S I'd consider phoning their superior.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKK. Is all i have to say, that is fucking SEXY!

No problem, Try and find 2 dealers with the same bike, don't just find the first one and buy from them without checking the other deals ~Dufferz

Hes almost as annoying as the person who dropped my bike today and snapped my clutch lever. PS, Goff, can you send a pic of your bike?

make sure that when you buy it, its indicators work, and they have a little ride on it.. obvious stuff really, but I didnt do it and i had to re-wire my bike myself.. Also make sure they provide a good engine history with it

I wish he would fu*k off. And check on eBay dude, theres so many spares on there these days!
