Hi Robin R6, I am new to but too far.

No box will be secure. Also they can be a pain when throwing your leg over. Have you considered a seat or tank bag. You can take if off and carry it and transfer to any other bike. Something like this? Here

Cheers OG M&P do them cheaper here

Marriage's are like bikes. You have one to learn on your first one. Then you go out and get the one you want.

Hi all, I need to get a new exhaust. Both parts but I am interested in the expansion part. The one I have has been welded near where it meets the cylinder but seems to have been welded at the wrong angle. I have read that this is a common place for it to break. Having a good search for previous threads on the forum It has been said that the DT125MX exhaust is the same. I can old find "big one" systems. Are there any others I can look at? Also the "big ones" seem to be designed to slip into the fitting on the cylinder. I am guessing that the bracket that fits to the exhaust port slides over the pipe and then a copper gasket fits tightly over the end of the end of the pipe and when fitted the pipe is helped to be supported at the front by the exhaust spring. There is a "big one" for sale on hebay Here Any recommendations - or not - on these?? Does this look like the correct one please? I also need the connector between the pipes. Is this a dealer part or can I get one elsewhere? A bit peeved today as it is raining and I wanted to remove the carb and strip it. I will get it off today and hope it brightens up. The good news is that I vehicle checked the bike yesterday and it came back clear. I normally do this before buying any vehicle but the bike was only a couple of hundred quid and I din't have time to get the reg from the previous owner. I was not worried about the ownership just if it had been total lossed. Cheers

Sorry Drewpy! You keep the crown. It just made me laugh when I heard it.

3 guys are sitting in a house smoking cannabis. after an hour they run out so one guy says "we still have a lot of tobacco, I will go into the kitchen and make up a special one". Off he goes to the kitchen and with the tobacco he mixes cumin powder, corriander powder, garam masala powder and curry leaves. he rolls the joint and, on returning to the main room, he lights up. After one drag he collapses out cold. An hour later he is still out so the other 2 guys take him to the hospital. "What has he been smoking - cannabis?" asks the doctor. "No" say the guys and tell him what was in the last ciggie "Ah" says the doctor. "He will be out cold for 3 weeks" "How do you know that" asks one of the guys The doctor replies........... "He is in a korma"

I agree that if a ban comes it covers all categories of vehicle but what I find confusing is that it says What does that mean? A first driving test of each category? Your first full licence for any catagory of vehicle?

Hi Conor, I used to ride up and down the front there when I lived in the East End of London and Essex.

Cheers Cynic. I am presuming it is a dry clutch? ****ignore this....doh, the oil filler is in the clutch cover ***** My frame comes into the "Fr no 020101 on DT175MX 4J4 (80-85)" bracket. It is possible that the swing arm was changed at sometime from square to round, assuming that these are swappable.

My thoughts If this is correct then any re-sit should not apply as you have a car licence for more than 2 years. I got stopped a few years ago for 81 in a 50. I tried to negotiate the 81 to 79 but they were not having it. At court I got 3 points and £40. I said "Thanks very much". What you get depends on the mood of the judge, they get the minimum and maximum for each offence. Some people say that what you actually get depends on if they had burnt toast for breakfast or they had been recently caught buggering young boys, again - Allegedly. Good luck anyway.

After picking my project bike on Saturday, 2 trips to Halfords and with a lot of help form some of you forum guys I was ready to kick the bike over. I bled the oil pump as suggested. At this time I noticed that the pipe from the pump to the carb was split so I cut the end off and refitted this. There still seems to be a pin hole in this so added to my very long list of things to do. I am not sure if I need to take the crankcase off or if the metal junction attached to the crankcase is just a pull off and I can refeed a new pipe from the top. Anyone know please? I fitted the fuel cable and was ready for liftoff. A splash of fuel in the tank and as I was putting some tools to one side I noticed that there was petrol dripping from the fuel tap side of the tank. Ah me thinks, the fuel tap is loose. Nope there is a slight leak in the seam somewhere. Another thing to add to my list. I will clean the tank and see if it can be repaired but there was a cheap one on e-hay the other day. I don't know how long the bike had not been running as the previous owner brought it and did nothing with it. I brought it as a non runner. I kicked it over a few times with no result so a drop of fuel in the back of the carb. A few more kicks and brooooom of she went. The choke was out and there is no exhaust or air filter on it but she was racing like on a very fast tickover. So happy as can be with a growing list of things to do. All costing money Once again thank you to all who have given me advice so far on the forum on different threads. I will recipricate if I can. My next job is to find out exactly what the bike is. This may help me buying the right bits for it. (Don't you just hate ordering a bit. It turns up and you get excited, then it doesn't fit the bike?) This has confused me a lot as I brought it as a DT175MX. The logbook doesn't say much. registered March 1981 and is on a W plate, 171cc, engine and frame start 2K4. It has the tubular swing arm, 5 wire coil and 6 wire CDI. The oil tank is on the kick start side and it has the side panels that have 3 push in rubber mounts. I have put two pics below. Thanks guys!!

Cheers. I have a spark.

Witha sooty plug. I would say rich. Is the carb sucking in too much fuel at idle which is killing the engine. I also agree that it could be a vacumm. The compression sucks hard enough at revs but at idle it starves itself. Will it tick over without a fuel cap on it? I had an XT wich had the opposite. ran fine and started from hot but if you left the fuel tap on when cold it would not start.

That is the plan for later today. The front pipe I have was not connected to the cylinder so not only no silencer, no exhaust at all. I have good neighbours (at least at the moment). Just a quick start. Thanks

Impressive. I would be too worried to do anything like that with mine at the moment.

Hi Alex, V nice. A little better than my one. As well as the experts here I am using this as a reference. It does not seem 100% but better than nothing. USA Yamaha link

I got swine flu and now I am as happy as a pig in s**t. And tax free.................. so far!

Cheers. I have taken the cover off and there was some 2 stroke oil in the bottom of the case. I have cleaned it all out and made sure that I could undo the bled screw, which was fine. So I will do what you suggested and open the cable manually. I can also check for 2 stroke leaks at the same time. I will kick the bike over a few times with the spark plug out and the throttle fully open to get the 2 stroke as close to the carb as possible. There is no fuel in it so this will also prime the carb for petrol. I can use an old plug in case it floods as I brought a new one today. That you for the advice. I have just been out and kicked the bike over. Now that I have cleaned the terminals and earths I got a nice fat spark at the plug. Well happy

Hi Cynic, My aim is to put it back on the road as a street legal bike. I have the logbook which shows the reg number. There is no ignition or front lights and no silencer. The tyres are "not for highway use" and no horn, chain guard/tensioner nor clocks. The frame has been drilled about 2 inches back from the hole which holds the front of the shock in the frame. I guess that this was to raise the bike but the original hole is there so that is an easy job. and this is what I know so far looking at it for the first time.. The frame and engine numbers match and there seems to be a good compression. A nice labour of love but first things first so I will check the spark tonight, get the 2 stroke oil bled through tomorrow and get the tank connected to the carb and see if it runs. Gulp

Oh yes!! I am keen to start it but need to check everything on the bike first. Thanks
