Moderator mervin Posted January 9, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hey Jayne Paul Dawkins on here is from southampton and has a DT250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dawkins Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 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 Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxnutter175 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 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.

mxnutter175 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 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 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
