headlight dipping when i come of the throttle and brake
Check your battery and charging circuits first. If it isnt putting out enough power doesent matter what you connect it to. Has it ever been ok. If so you may need a new battery. Also. Introduce yourself to the forum. We dont have many rules like a lot of forums but without an introduction mine is prob the only reply you will get.

Number plate size
I think it is one of the sillier things but with most of traffic policing done by anpr. Any plate that is tricky to read makes you a target.

Yamaha Rs200 air filter
I do seem to recall having lights, horn, easy starting, good idle, a battery that was fine and a bike able to do the rideout last year.......... Awful lot of ribing for a bulb. I have time..........plenty of time......

New tow car needed, but what??
Cos nobbers dont nickem and gypos dont want em for tarmacing. My 4.6 range rover is cheaper to insure than our 1500nissan almera. By about 50 quid. Only 2 years between them in age.

topspeed as indicator for full horsepower...
As which bodypart you want to swap as it will cost a bloody fortune.

LEDs draining battery?
If the battery has dropped to dead flat its already much weaker. Bike ele tricals have very little spare as excess uses hp. Maybe fit a timer. although that will take juice.

'Chink' was the sound, then the sound of silence
Heh. Knowing the condition that barrel was in its a top effort to turn it around. That head could be the dt holy grail then? let me know if it works so I can get one before the rush. Might help that 26 work too. I got either good wot performance OR low ( sub 4k) never both. Mi.d it did shif if you could live with it. Cutting out at the lights.

looking for a second exhaust. Best of. There are pattern ones by Big One but they are in the later front expansion chamber type. Pick a bodypart for an oe system in good nick.

DT 125 RE FLUIDS
Make sure the 2 stroke is for motorcycles. Some of the forecourt stuff is for chainsaws and generators. Anything dot4 for the brakes Coolant has to be ok for aluminium. Thats it. Personally and it was surprising Halfrauds semi synth bike 2stroke is pretty good.

DEP Quickshifter anyone tried it?
Spend it on a rider training day. Make you much quicker than that will.

'78 Suzuki TS250C project
Good news on the pass. Feel your pain on the wifey wants. I have a 8by 18' patch of , well mess tbh and she wants a feature making of it. She wont accept a 8 by 18 shed as a feature. Go figure?

Elbow mirrors ?
Think about it for a moment. The mirrors are limited by the width of the bars. Your hands will be holding said bars. Well should be. The mirrors will show you your elbows. Bikes where you sit upright like my TDR will be better because your position is different. It has been like it forever.

New bike ... Maybe.
Sentimental. nah not me. I have had the dt for 26years and wanted a TDR 250 for as long. Nah not sentimental. I only breifly owned a 600 suzuki.... for 12 years.....

topspeed as indicator for full horsepower...
Same here. She will do 70 but 7krpm is my normal max. I think the 2 compare on top speed. The extra cc counts for plugging the muddy lanes not tarmac tearing.

New clutch!
Just use grease to stick it in. It will melt away soon as the engine runs. So wont affect things when you give em a nip once their warm.
