Oil/Fuel Mixture For 78 Yamaha DT175
2W6-000*** ? Something like that? Not sure on the filter. you need to measure across the carb inlet and see what is on ebay. The filter needs to be damped down with 2 stroke oil also. Ramair should have a model to fit. Some parts info here LINKY

How's it going everyone!!

Oil/Fuel Mixture For 78 Yamaha DT175
Use a quality 2 stoke oil. I would try and use an oil pump, despite what people think, they are reliable. 40:1 with a synthetic oil sound good to me. If you are going to use cheap mineral 2 stroke I would run it at around 33:1. It is important not to run it without an air filter of some kind. It will run so lean it will hole the piston very quickly. I'd say an IT too. Post up the first few numbers of the VIN. Not the whole number leave the last 3 digets out.

XT250 Steering bearings
Sounds like they are shot. They should be smooth all the way from left to right. No noise, bar the suck of thick grease.

Splicing heavy duty cables, any ideas?
I would guess you are not familiar with foamys fixing techniques? Why do it properly when you can bodge it! Smear both cable ends with liquid metal. Put them together until set. Wrap loads of insulating tape around the join. Job done.

Splicing heavy duty cables, any ideas?
You can get battery isolator switches that will act as a join. 2 screws each side to connect the cable I think. Used on track cars and campers. Other than that some 240 volt earth bonding connectors may do it.

Back wheel locks up
Sounds like air in the system and piston lock. Overhaul the caliper and bleed the brake line.

XVS1100 Blowing headlamp bulbs for a pastime.
As above or a short in the wiring somewhere. You need to check the volts going to the bulb at various revs and when switching from low to high beam.

Crank seals dt 125r
Also check the water level. Has the water or oil got a white "mayonnaise" type substance in it? If not the oil, or coating the exhaust, it could be the water with a gasket or water pump seal going/gone.

Hi and welcome to the forum. If you plan a mainland visit why not pop over to the annual YOC meet up at Squires in Yorkshire next September?

Crank seals dt 125r
The gearbox may use a tiny amount. So measure it in and then see what comes out. If you spray oil (wd40) on metal ( the header pipe) and it gets hot it will burn off and smoke and smell, unsurprisingly, like burning oil.

Crank seals dt 125r
Are you using anything on the pipe? Wd40 or the like? Check your exhaust gasket as it sound like oil burning off the pipe. If you are not using gearbox oil then it can't be leaking.

Sr doing up
The SR's are good starter bikes. Easy to work on and plenty of spares about too. Good luck.

My troubles are over. Finally I get what I deserve!
Isn't that the model that has rear suspension problems not covered under warranty? Only kidding. It looks good. The only real problem now is you won't have any news to post!
