Moderator Airhead Posted May 5, 2013 Moderator Posted May 5, 2013 80 mph on a DT 'barn door' is a tad uncomfortable...i wouldnt fancy pushing that boundary too often
NEV Posted May 14, 2013 Author Posted May 14, 2013 Did a bit more on the bike yesterday, all the bits and bobs are back from powdercoating now, so I thought I'd start adding more stuff to the bike. The weathers been bloody awful here, windy as fook and showers every half hour, but slowly starting to get empty parts boxes, main mission this week is to get the engine started I reckon. Sprayed up the forks last week, am happy with the Red and Graphite Grey metallic, I think I'll definately do the wheels a bit darker and make them Graphite Grey too. Got recovered seat back from the upholsterer, he's done a top job as usual, I usually buy a cover from Philippe in Portugal, and he fits it, but this time he used his own Red vinyl seat covering, and did the Grey 'YAMAHA' cut out for me, he's even added me a strap, that I never even asked him for, well chuffed.
Noise Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Looking good that Nev. At first glance that red did look Pink to me but now ive have a cuppa tea and actually woken up i can see its red I know what your saying about the weather, its been shit down here too. have you not got a garage or a kitchen you can chuck her in?
NEV Posted May 14, 2013 Author Posted May 14, 2013 Cheers Noise, aye the 89 DT's actually had a pink seat and pink shock, not really for me that, as for a garage I've got a 20 x 10 man den, but that's cluttered with bikes and stuff, and working in the kitchen, that would get me deaf and dumb sandwiches for a fortnight that would. 1
Calum122 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Nev for the kickstart was it just an oil seal you need like the dtre one?
Calum122 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Don't worry. Got my 4DL so it's obvious. Chuffed I can bang a kicker on it. One day the starter will go so it's nice to have a back up. Any updates on this nev?
Calum122 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 My engine it pretty much rebuilt now. Just waiting for some porting work done to the cylinder and then this bad boi will be going in. Haven't heard anything for a long time NEV. Give us a little shout to let us know you're still alive and kicking?
NEV Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Sawted!!! yep you can put a TZR4dl Belgarda engine in a DTR frame, engine kicked up after about 5 kicks, sounds nice with the full DEP system and the Malossi air filter, running a 4mm oversize Wossner piston, 38mm Keihin carb, stage 3 ported and gas flowed, just need to sort out wiring to get the electric start working next, then sort some brembo braking out, getting there, slowly but surely.
Calum122 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Very jel NEV. One question I've been meaning to ask. What is that thing opposite the end can lmao.
NEV Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 It's a tool box Cal, I pinched off a Rieju SMX I had, they have them on as standard.
Calum122 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Haha Quality. Unfortunately the oil bottle is there on the DTRE
NEV Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 Aye Cal, I tried putting the proper tank on a couple of weeks ago, but came across a problem, the tank tap needs re-rooting I reckon, as the carb sits in the way of it, my old man died last week, so it's been a bit daft here, till the funeral on Monday, I'll see how things go in a week or so, at least the weathers getting better to work on the bike.
Moderator Airhead Posted March 14, 2014 Moderator Posted March 14, 2014 Sorry to hear about your dad's passing NEV.
NEV Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 Cheers Paul. Paddies night too, afterwards, gonna be a weird day is Monday.
Calum122 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Aww I'm gutted for you mate. I don't know what to say, I'm sorry for your loss. Take it easy bud.
