They picked you up on 1kmh? Thats really tight and when road riding you dont even make sure you doing exactly the speed limit any way Btter luck next time

Good on ya looking for a bargain, iv just been working a lot lately and tend to be a bit of a poser....

Nice list of kit i got myself an rst pro series leather jacket at donington at the weekend, just need my new lid (shoei hornet) and trousers Draggin jeans then complete

Hey reevo didnt know you got a DT?

Chav talk? Me? I was actually being serious but i suppose you dont have to believe me. I agree with the bigger bike thing as iv said it before and you dont realise how much more powerful a bigger bike is till you get one. So much more fun.

My brother used to have a Cagiva Mito HM Plant race rep all modded up etc and had 125mph out of it but used to go through a lot of top ends.

Honestly dont mess with it too much as it will affect its resale value and wont make much difference, i thought my DT was really fast when i used to ride it but its unbelievable how much faster a bigger bike is so id recomend saving for a bigger bike im so glad i did.

@ OG, state the obvious but i agree it will lol All the newer ones will fit but you wont have a kick start from 04 onwards, much as i know sorry.

firstly you wont do 100. Secondly you want the powervalve cables done up so the cables are firm with a little bit of slack (not much) it should open and close freely aswell, if not remove and greese up. Theres not really any tuning tips but it would be a battle against performance and reliability of you do loads of mods. Do you know where the powervalve should line up? (have you had the cover off)

Always make sure you get a good o-ring chain or better (dont be stingy) also dont buy light weight ally sprockets from Talon or Renthal as they wont last 5mins so the 'heavier' type ones are the way to go, so to make things easy you wouldnt be doing too bad if you bought yamaha parts but i found a good set of c&s online for £70 and lasted around 6kmiles and are Tsubaki so not a bad make.

.... no problem

Does any one know what sort of torque these put out? Under 50bhp and weighs a bit so im guessing a fair amount?

XT hands down as supermoto's are so much more fun on the road because of their 'flickability'. Both good bikes but yeah the XT for me every time

There the avon distanzia's on that bike

The writting on the rings has to face upwards and i dont think it matters which one goes top or bottom,

I cant imagine it would sound much different as most of the noise with the dep is through the header pipe as its thin metal the sound gets through a fair bit.

It will fit straight on as a replacement for you big one but theres no point doing it as it wont feel any different unless you change the front header pipe aswell.

Also a weeks worth of riding wore my boots in and now comfy as slippers (unless you walk in them)

I had the exact same problem with my Gaernes so i un bolted the gear shifter and moved it up a spline (sp) makes it soooo much easier to shift gear now. Trust me try it out.

Nice one, iv never seen a before and after pic on the freezing technique, done a good job there. Cool dog by the way

Still 99mph is alot lot faster than your dna dont you think? still fast enough for our roads and as said already the twisties are the places to be (for me any way ) just have fun! Also i think you will find any speed will be boring if you sit at it for a while on a straight road.

Iv noticed i havn't actually posted any pictures of my DT so i thought id take some photos today as the weathers nice and share, Comments welcome Just add theres a few pics so might take a while to load.... sorry

If you go down that path your back end will 'skip' out a bit if going quick round bends but you get used to it, but only use them if you will do a fair bit of laning as they arnt amazing on the road. Iv tried Goodrich crossengos which were my best on and off road. (lasted around 6000miles!) Mitas ef-06 (front) current which is lasted well Mitas c02 (rear) which rubbed a bit so wouldnt recomend so swaped for a michelin AC10 which is w@*k on the road but not too bad off but theres better.

The only mod i found worth doing and is free is the cable earthing behind the speedo, the exhasut makes you acceleration a fair bit better but is expensive and thin metal so easy damagable. Im honestly glad i got my dep as all the guys i go out with have 650 supermotos etc and a bit more power is appreciated to help keep up. Dont bother touching reed valves or jets as you will be causing more work and money for nothing. Iv also been clocked by a BMW GS1200 at 85mph and with a sat nav

I defs thought the same about the lock scenario, gona go for an almax chain and lock, around a £100 but im willing to pay for the best. Thanks for the comments by the way guys.
