right so a few months ago now my dt seized up on me in the fields doing a little greenlaning, the throttle went rearly heavy and cut out, the kick was really hard to kick, like was really stiff, it started but shortyl died and was jammed stuck,??(the kick start) but could get it back in neutral no problem, after strippin it down i then tried takiin the engine out the frame but the swinagrm pivot bar was jammed, so i thought id jus strip the head and barrell of while i gave the bolt a good long soakin, barrell came of really nice wasnt stuck at all, then came the wacks wit the hammer and flametorch, unsuccesful was the out come :'[, and then for some reason i grabbed hold of the flywheel and it moved ever so slighlty, with a little more twist it jus freed off, pulled out the kick start and its free just like before,,,thinkin something gave out got jammed and then my attempts of thumping f**k outta that bolt, has knocked loose the debris,? but stil cant remove tht bolt so cant strip it down for furhter work?..... any clues or theories to what has happened or what went wrong to start with ? thanks in advance

lol, the mowhark comment made me laugh, n dnt worry there not on there now, managed to get a set of dt vinyls from a bike shop in leicester, and speed wise its not tht bad when i took this foto in march just before its mot, it had the wrong sprockets but after a little general knowledge from airhead and gt the right sprockets its much better,,cant fault the old girl really, leaves other bikes standi, im not gunna claim it does a 100mph like ppl have said about there dts, but id say top end around 75 summin like that, and for bein faster than ur 175 i guess its dwn to opinion,,, thinkin of findin an dt125mx 4 my nxt project

thought it would do the job for the time beig lol

couldnt get hold of any dt vinyls lo0l

To obe honest im not even sure if mine is a reg rec ive just took my mates word for it could jus be a regulator and i might not even have a recitfier or vice versa. Something else to check i suppose lol

i went over the bike yesterday with my uncle whos an electrician not a mechanical one but yeah, he has a very good knowledge off the voltometer compared to me,, all i know he did was put the red prong on live and the black prong to the earth on the frame and said nothings shorting,, so i pedrsume he checked for continuity or something, as i said erlier leccys really not my thing lol,, and ive found the reg rec under my tank next to the ignition coil,,,im not sure these can be tested any ideaas on this particulr question lol..an no my batter is a sealed one [so no plug caps in top],,thanks again everyone i appreciate ur help
