Retrojoe Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hi guys, My brother sold me this motorbike years ago for £80. It's in boxes, I've never seen it together. I don't really know what it is, I'm a car guy, I've never worked on bikes before. When he sold it to me he said he thought it was a dt70? I've Googled a bit and can't find much on that... Can anybody shed any light? It's water-cooled... The cylinder and piston are scored so it needs a rebore or a replacement, what's best? Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted January 2, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2017 On a MX track its epic, the A40 to Witney? Not so much. Their race bikes. There what your DT dreams of being but reliability measured in hours rather than k miles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted January 2, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2017 It's a competition bike, not designed for road use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrojoe Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 That's good as I don't intend on using it on the road. So basically somebody else dismantled it and now I'm putting it back together. I don't know much about bikes and I've got lots of questions about how it goes together. Is there anybody who knows these well, who would be able to help me when I get stuck? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrojoe Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 It is happening! But slowly... As I'm learning as I go. I tried to upload a pic, but the website won't let me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacha Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 You'll have to use a photo sharing site to add images. Not sure which ones are any good though (sorry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted January 29, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 29, 2017 I have started to use flikr, its free but as far as possible use bogus info, it wants you to share your soul with the world. Different name and use a new email address, it will suggest one as you sign up. Then set everything to private or friends and family. Then you just upload to it, click share and post the link on the forum. You can even limit the time the links are active for. I'm rebuilding my daughters bike and posting is easy, takes moments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
