dave62 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Heres my next long term project Considering its 43 years old its in very good condition, its a non runner so will need plenty of tlc to get going but for now im sorting out the paper work ect in order to get it registered (age related)
Moderator Airhead Posted March 14, 2013 Moderator Posted March 14, 2013 wow thats in great shape, seems kinda odd to see a trailbike with with a small front wheel like that
blackhat250 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Looks great dave" nice chrome, you"l need to M.O.T. it on frame number, then insure it, then all forms including [ import tax paid slip] D.v.l.a are about to change all this in April,
dt502001 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 WOW it's in such good shape,too bad the tank badges are missing that will be a rare find
dave62 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 Thanks guys, Im very pleased with it, its only showing 4500mls and has been in a very kind climate somewhere in the U.S. as theres no significant rust or damaged chrome. Would have looked a bit different if it had had 43 English winters I think! I'm in the process of getting the age cert from the vjmcc and have spoken to my mot guy but I have to get it running before he will test it. (lights and horn work independant of engine running so i thought i might get away with a dead engine, but no) The electric start only turns the engine over very slowly when the plugs out (wont over come compression with plug in) and the kick start has issues as well, suspect the return spring lug may have broken off in the crank case? so plenty to sort out before mot. I've read some bits about the DVLA changes but not sure how i will be affected, I have the C&E 386 doc and will sort out the rest but would welcome any info regarding the DVLA changes. As I start getting more into it I'll try and document it in the "Projects" section. Oh and if any ones got any tank badges they want to part with.......Thanks in advance....Dave .
Tommy10bikes Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Well done Dave , i like the old DT stuff. heres a link for the repo tank badges . http://www.mikesxs.net/products-12.html#products and if you need any sheathing you can find it here. http://www.vintageconnections.com/ Regards registering the bike its fairly easy if there is a dvlc inspection office near by though you will need a dating certyificate from Yamaha or VJMC , an mot against the frame mumber , insurance again on the frame number a few days before you send the paperwork over or go to the DVLA offices. Hope it helps. TTB
dave62 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 Big thanks TTB, very usefull info and links.
