Good buy jayne" thers plenty parts for the 250mx... Lots of N.O.S. clocks, so don"t pay big money for the first one you see, another will surface,

Hey Jayne Paul Dawkins on here is from southampton and has a DT250

Hi Jayne

The DT250MX is a lovely bike.

Heres mine.

As for the clocks I have been searching for years for a NOS set but just could not find any, I have been looking on ebay and autojumbles.

In the end i settled for a good seconhand set from the usa

I have been looking for a speedo cable guide for 2 years now and I still cant get one.

The exhaust bottom gaurds are also very hard to find but I did get one in the end.

Yuniparts on ebay do some good pattern parts such as indicators etc

There a nice reliable bike but a bit gutless.

There a very easy bike to work on.

If you need anything just ask, I have a few parts left over

be aware of the front forks for pitting....it cost me a pretty penny for re chroming.

Hi All

I just thought i would introduce myself on here, I bought the DT from Jayne around 6 to 9 months ago now and am in the very slow process of bringing the bike back to life.The good news is it runs and quite nicely but there are a lot of parts still to aquire and a lot of stripping and painting to be done.I will post pics but am not sure if this site has an inbuilt picture uploader if comeone could please point me in the right direction.

Hl" nutter , go to your photobucket album, click on Html , coppied , then paste on your post . if the box appears , click Allow"

right here goes I will try copying some of the pics below the first pic is as i got it the second is how it looks at the moment there is still some work to do.

You aint jokin nutter, thats the wrong exhaust tailpiece , looks like Yz seat too. all in the fun tho.. of rebuilds

It has been quite an extensive rebuild so far still got a lot of work to do next up will be to paint and tidy the front end then onto the wiring lol, will be leaving the exhaust tail pipe on as whilst its not standard it is straight through and makes a very nice sound ;-) oh and the seat is actually a dt50mx seat cover stretched with some heat over the dt250mx seat base and foam lol I managed to get the cover for 12 quid which was a lot cheaper than paying 40-50 quid for a genuine one :-)
