Whole new meaning

I'm shocked Drewps has yet to pay .

Hi Big Bird, welcome to the forums

I tend to agree with you there Chris, but if they happen to be the last one or two in existence then i think they should be preserved. Other than that a bike is for riding.

Post a picture of your DEP silencer, the pipe that connects to the expansion chamber and i may be able to answer.

Why not give them say 7 days, then offer their 12 badges out to anyone else who may want one?

Edit: The power jet on the TZR is 110 where as the one on the DTR is a 60, this could be the source of your poor-running. If possible, swap the float bowl over from the DTR carb and see if that helps. ( the power jet is part of the float bowl and not changeable as far as i know. You don't even need to take the carb off. I would try that 1st tbh. I had a power jet block when i rebuilt my first DTR, gave very similar symptoms to yours iirc. Took me weeks to figure out what it was.

Standard main jet size for a DTR (3MB Models) is a 210, for a TZR (2RH Models) its a 180. Try the plug and swap the jets over from the DTR carb. Although i think it should still start with the 180 in. Also you may want to consider giving the TZR carb a good clean through as it could be the floats are stuck or a few other dirt in card related reasons.

Asking for a guaranteed answer over the internet from people who haven't got any direct contact with the bike is asking alot. We can only take a guess with the information given by yourself, which can never compare to actually being there with the bike.

Looking good YamaHead. Especially like the rims Can't help thinking it should be on the road for the pic though

Welcome to the Forums

Welcome to the Forums

Happy Birthday Foamy

Glad you got sorted out. You going to post some pics when its done? Chrome polish, well I hear Autosol(??) is good. I use Carr & Day & Martin metal polish wadding myself. ( can't find a link to the one i get) As for after market headlights, i can't really be much help, like the original myself. I have read the alien one goes on easy enough( http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Product.do?method=view&n=460&g=1899&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Base&utm_campaign=Motorcycl ), But i have also heard some MOT stations fail you for them. Good luck finding one, and let us know if you go for something different

My votes on the latter

Still doing it, for another 2 years at least

If your only going to view it, then can't you get the train/get a lift? If your going to collect it err... get the train/get a lift. Or thats what i would do

When the bike goes bang, get your spanners out, stand on one leg, shove a 10mm long reach up each nostril and say "wibble".

Hi, and welcome to the forum. Don't know fa about xs400's though .

Let the tires down?

F**k it, i'm bored. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Piston-Kit-Yamaha-2-50-TZR-DT125R-TDR-TZR250-58-90mm-/160495029986?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item255e3fcee2 58.9mm DTR piston,2.5mm overbore apparently . Displacement = stroke x π x (bore/2)2 x Number of cylinders. So, providing your DTR is pre 04 and with a stroke of 50.7mm Then, 50.7 x π x (58.9/2)2 x 1 = 138.142.8559 x103 or about 138 cc

You will find it rare to get a response to a question on your first post. Try introducing yourself in the bar section of this forum, politeness goes along way

Great observation skill you got there.

3.54 GBP = 3.98850 EUR Postage cost may differ though.

The red light is for the 2-stroke oil tank. The light will go on and off depending if you are going up/downhill breaking/accelerating etc, until the level gets low enough so the oil doesn't slosh to above the level of the oil level sender unit. Personally i would run it down to about 10-15mm from the bottom of the tank (above the feed pipe) then swap it for new oil. The engine (gearbox oil) doesn't have a warning light, there is a window next to the rear brake pedal to monitor the level with.

I have an idea. Register on a bike forum, Introduce yourself and then ask for help.
