Squires , well you never know but i would have to come on the XT500 , any way here is the DT360 before stripdown.
Here it is at the moment, frame just come back from powder coating, fork stantions are at philpots as they where really bad,
zinc plating has come back so all i have to do now is send the tinware off for painting and send the parts off for chrome plating.
Here is a utube link on the day i managed to get it up and running

My TRX is at a similar stage at the mo was only supposed to be getting a bit of winter tlc but is now in a million pieces it will be better than new when finished and should be ready for summer....if I get cracking.

Lovin it
but then I would say that I've had a new seat foam and cover since this picci was taken so it don't look quite so squashed(the original was full of Michigan mouse home!!)
how it looked before
all good fun don't ya think?

Not when you know how, there is something i got once for my 400 that got petseal out very easily
aha option C if you have petseal already peeling in your tank
was that not something they used on hankies in the films?

I'm willing to give them a try. Any of the lads from the squires run will attest to the original condition of my tdr, everything is original down to the mirrors
. Paint match, date codes on the parts match, everything ties up. The decals even have that slight patina from being 23 years old. I just can't affect the visible part of the tank paintwork becaust it just will not be possible to match it properly especially as the stock paint isnt a flat black it has a tiny fleck to it.I don't know if its just a one off pin hole or there are hundreds of them waiting, that would mean stripping it, that means the paint is a gonner and the decals have been out of production for years. You can see people trying to copy em still on the TDR site. They look OK in isolation but they are too yellow compared to the originals and don't have a border.

These sealants are my only real option.
cautionary note to keep in mind! tank sealnts when they react to our fuel are a mega nightmare to remove
-
Try to avoid any of the tank sealants as it dont work with the modern petrol we have these days, welding/brazing is pretty much the only solid repair, metal set might work on small holes more so if thay are at the top of the tank but is still not a permanet fix

I want to fit some pazzo levers to my MT-03! the brake lever is the same as other models so is not a problem but as yet they don't make a clutch lever to fit, I'm thinking that a cluth lever assembly off another model will fit and work with the relevent lever, has anyone done this??

I didn't get a V5 with my TZR when I applied for a new one DVLA didn't have any records of the engine or frame numbers(bodged) went through the registration process and an inspection and they still could't come up with antyhing Yamaha didn't recognise the so called frame number either so in the end I bought another frame with V5 and didn't have any more problems
-
where do you find vintage parts for a dt2?
I didn't struggle finding any parts for my dt1 just about everything available in America. I could't have done it without the internet though.Get yourself a parts book and google the part number you should find what you need.
check out Usa ebay loads of parts there, NW vintage cycle parts are very good, Speed and Sport were also good but a bit expensive. Get searching the net and good luck don't give up

I like your style!! any more takers for bird (feathered variety) baths?

Suggs coming down your drive!!

Currently got about a foot of snow outside,its about -3, more snow expected tonight, i think winter has arrived,
North Yorkshire at 2pm

yeah my bike was in classic bike think it was july or august issue. I dream about XT500's the only thing that stops me from getting one is I would struggle with the starting (or so I've been told) I get annoyed if I can't start the 500, suppose my MT is a bit like a modern day xt. Keep thinking about ditching the flatracker project(it has been ongoing for 4 or more years) for a dt400 but I can't bring myself to part with it
-
Ha Ha , another enduro nut, im sure if you could get a letter from Yamaha UK declaring the date of manufacture you should be able to registered with an age related one. I in the middle of a resto on my 1971 DT1 which will need registering as its US import, shouldnt be a problem for you as its a UK bike.
That many bikes tother sites that can be helpful.
Cheers Tommy10bikes
