Think u"ll FIND ITS A 400 C . because uk .only had them imported 1 year. 1976/77 . R reg is the last of DT400 TWINSHOCK , Replaced with the 400MX. S reg i have never seen a S reg twinshock , but i stand to be corrected

i have a fancy gold chain on my 600, and i use white spirt to keep it bling! works a treat YOU POZER UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Bit a an old 2 stroke nut , i'm 39 , so if i smell of oil ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go on joe giv it full handle and get the reek oot the backo" it [ i"v got gallons o" Castrol R here. ] bikes will be queing up behind to get a fix o" that aroma welcome by the way ...

Typical Drew-p ur a spoilt bugger Well av just removed the Muffler " and poured about quarter o" a cup of waater oot on to floor ,, now if thats just how internal corrosion starts if un checked ,,,

Now then " i see u lot down there been gettin it cold lately.. well with the rise in temp , you"d better check in them sheds&garages[ for those who store bikes for winter]. Coz we had a cold spell like that in december, and the bikes in shed were running wi condensation after it warmed up . with the steel still being freezn and air being warm [ now yanks no laughing] 8 degrees.. better dry them forks and discs etc.

100% complete restoration will full documentation with pictures and detail of step by step procedures including the complete engine rebuild. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AH" twinshock ... post some pics on here ?? from sart to finish ... be interesting to see

AHEM The picture of the orange coloured DT is a 1976 DT400B in non standard Portuguese Orange which was only available on the 250 version… However, saying that the Orange on DT 250 is a stunning colour and is without doubt my favourite This would be that DT400 IN DT250 Attire..[ note the fork bottoms have the bracket holes for the low chrome fender] And the rear indicators are short stem"d [ am not being picky is gorgeous]

Wot kinda show is it Drew-p ??? And anybody been to malvern show 17TH/18th JAN Before is it worth SEE-ING

and I’ll have a new 2 stroke stead to play with by next summer Aha----- i said that also [Jan 2008] and it took till october to land one. Missed the summer You will be surprised how scarse the DT400 [Twinshock ] is .... most "here" [uK] have been butchered [field-biked] Take alook at this . it is forum member Chrisp" He got on ebay last year ...... The tank colour is [was] off the DT 125. FOR THE CONNISEURS of the DTs.

Has someone written a Bible Book for the DT’s..????------------------------------------------------ Right then here goes .. some pics . [and by the wayJDS.] GO TO THE THREAD ANY FANS OF THE OLD dt"s think its in CLASSICS>> HOPE THIS IS ENUFF FOR NOW ..

Has anymore got any info and pictures of the various DT 400 models and versions.. THE QUEST CONTINUES """ Hi there JDS ,, " My " well u couldnt have picked a scarser model to look for . twinshock that is ; Lets start with the front mudgaurd [ low chrome] not on the DT400 . They all had high mounted fender . Colour- UK/Europe >Black/white. introduced 1976.[for one year only] MX In 1977. thats why theyre rare. Colour - USA./OZZ >Yellow/black/white. 1974 -1977 DT400B/C. UK DT250. Same colour as USA 400 . but had the low fender in chrome. [this be the one u remember] DT400s All had C.D.I. ignition. DT250s points .[early 250MX Also] Now i will get some pics posted [ just been spanked fae O.G.O.A.B] Rather it was goff . i have lots of pics on computer just have to paste them .. i stand to be corrected on usa years [ twinshock]

Don`t know your mum do I? L O L. Wlcome pabz .. your not too far from Shokz ,, hes plannin a ride-out april/may , [ wen the sun appears] And mark ,, his Granny was more like ur aquaintance Yeh and pabz is after his mantainance 26 yrs of it

Yeh and i always tank-mix the first tank full after a re-build ... just in case theres a air lock in pump.. [i KNO IT Shudn"t if bled properly] but its for pease of mind ,,,, and nowt worse than all that work wasted wi a Seizure

Just registered today, I am Ken, 22 years old from just outside Edinburgh, Cheers, Ken Welcome aboard ken.. plenty of info on here. and theres a yung nutter called shokz just alang the road fae u.. [just watched his vids on u.tube ...]

Well a happy new year to all who have surfaced ... . new year resolutions ??? Lets hear ye.---- Well am resolved to paying that tax man not a penny more to bail out the Fat cats CASHERS ALL THE WAY FROM NOW ON [ no inland rev. staff on here i hope] And happy new year Merv .....---- uv reached the" century "..quicker than the England cricket team......

WHAT SUPERSTARS U+ [ O.G.OA.B.] ARE...... It was indeed the primary gear [slipping on shaft] There is no key[way] just a taper shaft .. had slipped " Gona get the graphite paste on shaft [seat it properly] than tighten the 32mm nut .. Musta been some torque in that kickback to slacken it ----- By the way theres a CLASSIC SCRAMBLE [ TWINSHOCK AT LOCHSIDE FARM TMORROW] just off A90 /forfar .nrthbound. past Mcdonalds . 500yrds // for any of u vintage bikers up north..11AM. STRT. i"LL BE MARSHALL SINCE HUSKYS on the operating table

Aye is all hapnin tday.. Like malta tkkr. kicked the husky 430 few times the day .. misfired [kickbacked ] big time then no compression. whipped of head ... then wen turning over "" piston go-in up & down--- put fingers on top o piston "" canstop it and still turn the clutch housing and crank gear,,, Barrel off --- can lift piston up down and crank gear [ clutch basket etc,] turns ,, but if i grab clutch . lack o" drive ... summat stripped or at worst crankshaft...???

Not so simple ,, [250] bore/stroke70x64---[400] 85x70... DT400 has longer stroke . so conrod wud need shifted... so its a stripdown if thats the route . also . think DT400 timing is slightly diffirnt. CDI. changing as well . and thier like hens teeth....

--------------------------------- EXCUSE THE Ignorance Merv " but wot caused the seizure??? can"t the heat dissapate ??

,he filled in all the ports with some resign and completly changed there shapes....It easerly Pissed all over all 50's 100's Fun times, limited restrictions.... I honestly feel gutted for all who missed the wobbley days, they made biking a worthy mission/pleasure! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeh ur dead right Mr gx . THEM WERE THE DAYS .. Gave us the bug , and we had mates that ported their A,P,50s wot a diff that made. " but 50s are limited by gearing "lack of horse pwr to pull the gears to the max .
