June 18, 201113 yr Wow, your DT is looking great. I have the same, but not in the same condition. Bought it in 2003 and replaced a lot of parts, Buddyseat, front fender, exhaust (Gianelli), spokes rearwheel, chain, tires, piston (0.25mm). I did have to replace the exhaust because the original one was rosted and welded for many times. It is replaced by a Gianelli front pipe. Yours does have also a replacement exhaust. Can you please tell me which type and how is it doing? (by low/middle/high rpm's). Did you have to change the carburator-settings?
