wild foamy

... who says you dont look 26?, looking at your avitar i would say its very possible, mainly the hair, eyes and the lack of wrinkles that make you looks so youthful, if you are older than 26 and looking like that i'm very impressed and you obviously take very good care of yourself! im not 36 and i bitterly resent the accusations... take 20 years off and that'll be right (why else you think im riding a 50cc?) and i dont need a bigger shovel, i'm fine with my teaspoon thankyou very much!

women are like wine and cheese... the good ones only get better with a bit of age... and you, Goff, are no exception... kinda of worrying considering you're probably about 10 years older than myself... O.o (its safe to assumed your about 26, yes?... cant be much older :S)

as are teeth... good on you for giving the twat a mouthfull, Goff!, its about time someone gave these chavs a good bollocking. luckily, ive modded my DT50 to carry a quick-release 5" adjustable spanner for roadside repairs or even wing mirror removal (its amazing how some of these idiots manage to get on the road legally...)

as far as running gear is concerned, its running a Bigone exhaust and expansion chamber, a 12t front sprocket and a 46t rear sprocket cosmetically, its got an aftermarket nosecone/headlight for better night driving, aftermarket indicators, custom grips and renthal handlebars i cant unbolt the airbox and remove it because the battery slots into the opposite side of the airbox, so if i remove the airbox i have nowere to put the battery. the cone filter will fit straight onto the carb easily, its just a matter of getting the clearence between the carb opening and the airbox. i may end up cutting out the front of the airbox to fit the filter and leaving the rest in to hold the battery

have you tried cleaning the carb out? (check to see if the jet is blocked aswell), only other thing i can think of is advanced timing but with a CDI i wouldn't think its possible

hi everyone my chrome air filter arrived today but i cant get enough clearance to fit it between the carb and the original airbox, is there any way i can remove the filter part of the airbox but leave the rest intact so i still have somewere to mount the battery to? i think i may end up having to dremel the front of the airbox, but is there a way to remove it intact?

ive got a big bike lock from argos (£10 special offer) that is the right size to be wrapped around my grabrail for easy transportation and looks like it will be hard to cut through

hi everyone. ive got a steering lock on ym Yamaha DT50 MX (1990) but dont have a key for it, how do i get it off as it looks like its made as part of the frame. timpsons quoted me £187 to get it taken out, and reprofiled for a new key so it would be cheaper to get a whole new steering lock methink

Cor' blimey... make the most of the "spethul" punishment, lads, as its something you will have to pay alot of money for later on in life... ... think i need to go lay down now

hi there. i think the best thing to do would be to contact the DVLA directly and ask them about it, they should be able to tell you all you need to know and how to go about getting it back on the road . if its stolen and recovered i think you can only get 3rd party fire and theft insurance, not comprehensive. not 100% sure so maybe someone else can confirm that

im keeping out of that, its mopeds i feel worse for, they are always being overtaken and it must be scary when something large and heavy passes within a foot of you. still, theres no justice like yellow dragon justice wait 'till my blue dragon is roadworthy... that'll make for some serious sport

well i changed my front sprocket today and discovered the screw that holds the wire onto the switch housing had become loose, i tightened it up and used a little bit of loctite and low and behold i now have a neutral light . as for the turn signals no such luck, anyone know how to get the dials off to check the bulb hasnt gone pop?

hi everyone, i started my bike up just now to check the charge going to the battery (which is probably a dud) and everything operates as it should, high/low beam, indicators e.t.c but my neutral and turn signal light on the clock dont seem to work. ive tried operating the signals and revving the engine to get a bit more current going to the lights but not even that works the indicators themselves work fine, so what could be causing the lights to not work? (despite the fact they were working a few days ago)

are the engine and gearbox in good condition?, if so how much you looking for and where abouts are you in the country?

a six speed would be nice but if it involves an engine change i dont think its worth the effort. i would rather take a 5 speed box off another DT50MX (similar year) and replace my 4 speed (still using the same 50cc engine) will have to have a look around the breakers and see what i can find...

nope, mines a 4 speed ( 1-N-2-3-4) but some other DTs' in the same age band as mine use a 5 speed (1-N-2-3-4-5) setup. if the engine and 'box are one unit then i guess there snot much i can do without doing a complete engine+box change, which is not worth the money or effort tbh.

nobody told me about the gearboxes, just me thinking out loud again. ive seen some MXs' with five speed boxes (first few i looked at were 5 speed) one of which was a 1992 which is in the same classification(?) as my 1990 (DT50 MX 87 - 93) unless im just off on a tangent again, that happens alot

brakes are fine and i check t'pressure regularly i think i will just have to be happy with modest modding, open the reed blocks and some fibre reeds, MAYBE a big bore kit for a bit better hill-climbing ability and thats it. oh, the gearbox, i want to find a good five-speed box so i have better selection for going uphill and the like, maybe it will give me a little more speed but who knows

well i want it to be a good bike (cheap to run, reliable, long lasting e.t.c) so i'm not too sure about going that far with modding. i don't mind having to use t'box more if needs be but on the flats i'd rather have a bit more speed. on a two-stroke like this one i doubt there is much i can do in regards to getting a good low-down power-band but i'd rather keep t'revs low to try and make t'engine last a bit longer. ive got a K&N style filter coming in t'post, will order in a few carb jets to experiment with to help t'engine breathe a bit better (plus i have a "Big One" exhaust can ) and ordered in a bigger front sprocket and slightly smaller rear one (and a new chain, may aswell change it as a set) oh, and i'm dieting, could make t'difference when going uphill

ive considered that option and should a DT80MX turn up i will probably do it, but for the moment its only a 50 so i wont be doing any serious modding. will keep a lookout for a DT/RD 80 engine though...

t'is a bit of a trek for me to get there, and you lot would smoke me on my little 50, it will only do 35mph

well im getting a spare ignition key cut tomorrow so i will ask at Timpsons and see if they can do anything

hi everyone. my DT50 ignition key doesnt fit the steering lock or the other lock under the back seat (cant hink of what its called) is there a way i can get either a steering lock, ignition switch and lock that uses the same set of keys (i.e. buy them as a whole set) or somehow get a key cut to fit the original locks? - Steve

hi everyone. the rear right-hand indiactor on my 1990 DT50MX has broken off, does anybody know where i can get a decent replacement?. its a sorta egg-shaped aftermarket one but i cant find any markings on it other than on the lens; "FACOMSA 1099 V109 50R00.4012 50R00.4012" not sure if that means anything to anybody, but i'd rather replace it than bodge a repair jobby - Steve

ah you know how it is, when youve got the cash to splash you start to get these ideas... even for just learning i would like to get a bit more speed out of it, i think it would probably be better for me to stick to small things like air filters, up a tooth on the front sprocket and maybe up a jet size to compensate for the increased airflow (prevent lean running). which leaves me plenty of cash left over to start saving for a 125
