Don't frighten the lady Foamy!
Just disconnect the wires and tuck them out of the way, so they won't touch the battery terminals.
If you did happen to short the battery with your tools ie touch both terminals with your screwdriver,
((rest assured its not easy to do it, its designed in a way to reduce the risk of being able to bridge both terminals))
anyway you'll get a nice spark and it'll make you jump, but you won't get electrocuted...it's only 12volt.
Your household mains is 240v ...enough to kill you if you touch those! but 12v....no, just a big spark!
Sparks on the other hand don't go well with petrol fumes!........................................

Impressive.
I assume Tyres must be cheap for this bike or has he just got loads of cash?
In which case what does he do for a living? -
Speedway bikes run on pure Methanol (a simple alcohol not drinking alcohol)

When I read this i thought you meant Down South!! as in down here in Sussex....Not Up North!!
In fact anything upwards is North! If I go South I'll end up in the Channel.

I paid £127.46 - nice find, thanks
Yup, never was any good at maths!...... thought £20 off was better than 15% off!!!!.........DOH!!!

a camera to record for insurance purposes so I will be buying a bullet cam style next and have opted for a roadhawk ride,
ROADHAWK RIDE
I've just purchased one of these from EVANS CYCLES using their fathers day promotion code DAD20 (not an online option) over the phone and got it for £129.....instead of £149. free delivery too!
it comes with a wide range of mounts so it looks like I'll be fitting it to my Skid lid, cycle helmet and car dash!

I've seen this before, I think you'll find its out of stock!
Its cheaper to run the 'advert' for the part, listing it with a grossly inflated price to stop people clicking on it, rather than having to pay relisting fees until its back in stock.

yamaha .com might at least give you a part number to work with though.
German e bay have several gasket sets for DT50LC
and ebay portugal have one too!!
Which may also give you a contact!

I wasn't aware you'd tried them as it wasn't listed in the first post.
You may have also tried A Sutton
http://www.yamahamotorcyclespares.co.uk/spares/modelImage.asp?modelID=7777&m=YAMAHA+DT50LC+&uID=0
and yamaha motor .com
I looked up the DT50LC and it would appear to be made from 1990 to 1994
the ones listed in both CMSNL and suttons and yamaha motor all have a square cylinder, water cooled rad and front drum brake.
if not post a photo so we can see what you're referring to please.

You're more than welcome Steven.
Nice to hear about another "Neo Conversion!"

No reply?

Ignore my suggestion of a fixed part....................
It seems you're not the only one with the same problem......
Over on a sister site
http://viragotechforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=38087
Page 2 has the solution!!

Personally i wouldn't drill any more holes in it,
once you do that its going to be "last resort" because if you put your flat blade screwdriver in and snap off the remaining sides your only option left will be to drill it out!
if you've got a hole in the centre I 'd consider a "screw extractor". assuming you're not familiar......its like a "tap" but with an opposite thread, so as you wind it in and it screws itself in, you are in fact screwing it in anticlockwise so the actual part , all being well will start to unscrew.
That is providing you're confident it is a screw in the first place and not pressed or sweated in! in other words it was not designed to be removed! but fixed in a factory set position.......somethings are!

and for those wondering what we're talking about .............
The tank design comes in different colours depending on the colour of the tank (not all colour variations are shown)

according to my DT175MX 1979 parts list, 66 Sunshine Red is listed which cross references to SR 3928
I appreciate its not 1980 but it may be helpful. I'm sure Airhead will have the most accurate details.

A couple of years ago I purchased a front and rear mudguard for my 400/4 from california (before they did reproduction ones)
I purchased them on two seperate occasions.
The rear guard was about £75 with p and p, then it got stuck at Heathrow for customs and excise, import taxes and heathrow handling charge.I contested the VAT saying it was secondhand, they sent me a load of HM government forms to complete and still got stung. Heathrow notified me it had arrived and was in 'holding' It was pay up or it was sent back and i'd still pay handling charges. Final bill was over £100 and it took 4 weeks extra on top of the 2 week arrival time.
i understand it was all to do with the value on the consignment sticker by the sender.
Next time i asked him to put a value of $10 on the consignment i.e make it worthless. (it didn't effect his end it was afterall a secondhand part of questionable value!) and it went straight through. Arrived 10 days from purchase.
I did think if it got lost I'd have trouble proving its worth if it only had $10 on it ........but then i thought heh! even if it was valuable i honestly didn't think I'd ever get anywhere near its value, as they would never pay up anyhow.

Thats what the DT175MX is

Hi Pierrick, glad to see you're still around....
As regards to how many on the road, theres probably very few..............
Most motorbikes you see are quite modern. ie under 20 years old. Classic bikes i.e older than say 1980 are not that common here in the UK. You do see them, I ride 2 myself, but I don't see loads when I'm out and about., lots of modern ones but not 'old' bikes.
I'll be lucky to see another DT 175MX in the same month.
To be fair 60's bikes are rarely seen on the road on a monthly basis.
During the summer you're more likely to see them at classic car shows, transport festivals and the like. Of course you will see them more in the summer, good weather etc, but i think its reasonable to say a YCS-1 is one of those rare bikes. I don't think I've seen one or indeed anything resembling one on the road for decades.
If there was lots, putting YCS-1 in google would probably bring up lots of photos, but there are few, the ones I found were of a blue one! To me thats a good indicator to the number out there.
Plus if there were "hundreds about" theres a good chance they would be a member of this club and we'd have heard from them
I can't speak for everyone here on the YOC but I'm sure many will agree with me.

where did he go? did I scare him off?

Hi Steve and welcome
I'm just outside of Brighton with plenty of free advice and help if needed
is it 2 bikes you have? 175mx in your profile, 250MX in your intro.

I'm getting a ticking noise from the front wheel I never had before
Could be something as simple as a stone stuck in the tread or worse.......... a nail head!
however, if it's only happened since you changed the speedo cable and the speedo goes to the front wheel, then I'd be looking at that end first!!
-
Looking at the front mudguard having a straight stay, and low slung straight pipes
plus the size and shape of the side panel
I think its likely to be a 1969 Yamaha YCS-1E http://classic-motorbikes.net/images/gallery/yamaha_ycs1e.jpg
the earlier 1967 YCS-1 had a shorter front stay which was only half as long and higher handlebars.

Bearing in mind there must be only a few left.......... the top picture is probably a picture of YOUR bike you're looking for!!
In which case what does he do for a living?
worst scooter driver ever!

Bl**dy funny that!
He'd get £200 if he'd sent to "you been framed."...especially the ending!
I know it stares you in the face from the beginning..... but it was unexpected all the same!
