ive got two in the loft if you are interested,p.m. me

only the one. cheers mark.

my moneys on pattern kick start,ive had two and one bent with one kick,never even made the full swing,foot slipped off as it bent,genuine only from now on.

hi id go for the blow lamp on ali around stud,shouldnt need to be massively hot to move stud,as for blind bearing,same again,heat outside of casing around bearing,keep moving blow lamp around to get even spread of heat,when hot a good tap with a mallet should dislodge it,i have done this with an oxy acetelyne torch and never melted casings,just keep moving flame it will be o.k.

check the cable from speedo drive at front wheel to cable,its probably broken.

hi performance wont change,cant see any problems with wear as all you are changing is the seat height,i went the other way and raised my 125,no difference apart from seat height and a bit more ground clearance. cheers

hi i have a 175 i have used for green laning,agree about not using dtr forks,tried it,instead went for xt 350 forks, smaller diameter,fair bit more travel and a disc brake,dont restrict lock by much,was a good compromise.

hi i have heated bar pads on my dt 230 i use for gren laning,got them off ebay,from china,about £4 delivered,simple to wire,they are a kind of laminated pad with a heating element,you simply wrap it around your bars and fit original grips over the top.had three sets of these on different bikes,no problems yet.

hi i always fit them with washer at top, on speedo,idea being if bottom comes loose you dont loose the inner cable,dont really see what difference it makes except previous reason for doing so. cheers

hi indicators should work with engine not running.

hi i had the same set up on mine and was running a 260 main jet,boyesen reeds,ran great with no problems.

hi want to sell it, chers mark.

hi dont know of any way to test an intermittent fault,but i had this exact same fault on a bike years ago and it WAS the coil,it was breaking down when hot,replaced coil,all good after that.get a cheap second hand 12v coil off anything and it will work. cheers mark.

dt 175,2nd gear easily,dt 230 2nd gear is best,gsxr 1000 anytime any place anywhere,had it still lifting on the gas at about 150 its just a beautiful feeling.

hi harry,looking at pic i dont think its had anything welded to front end,tanks not fitted fully forward,possible front end could be a xt 350,ive done exactly the same with mine,if the forks are about 35mm its xt,if bigger they could be dtr 125,probably left the tank further back to keep steering lock o.k.

first off i never said you were an idiot,only said your ad made you sound like one,an idiot can also be literate as you have proven,second your ad oozed attitude which you have since proven and finally a bit of advice BREATHE IN,HOLD IT,HOLD IT HOLD IT AND RELAX,repeat as many times as needed until calm :lol: :lol: :lol:

i would be suprised if anyone on here had this off you,your attitude and ad makes you sound like a complete idiot

hi i had the same sort of problem on a kawasaki 100 years ago,ended up being the coil breaking down,i would go down that route first as it is the cheapest and sounds just like the problem i had, cheers

if its charging and not holding charge for long,batterys fooked.

hi got a dt 230 lanza if that counts,located in u.k.

after some of the c--p been going on lately,nice to see a proper intro,and welcome.

not slagging the bike off,im sure it will do exactly what you want very well,as for being a classic as in the fsie,rd,lc or dt,dont believe it has the same cult type following.anyway,just enjoy it,get your test passed,if you can make a bit when you sell it,job well done.

seen that one before,wanted £150 first time around?

in a word NO,the yb was only ever regarded as a commuter for the more aged or fiscally challenged rider,i was around in their day as a teenager,nobody would go near one due to the total loss of any street cred you may have already,nothing wrong with the bike,probably some anorak on ebay that will give you more than its worth,after all it seems the whole world has gone mad on older bikes no matter how mundane they were in their day. good luck
