That's great, thanks...the wemoto ones look the ticket!

Hi, Anyone know where I can get a set of fork gaitors for a dt175mx....cant seem to find one's long enough with the right top and bottom diameter. Cheers
-
Cheers for that...got one ordered!
-
I think at 400 odd quid I'll give the genuine one a miss...copy here we come....
-
Sorry, should have specified...its for the dt
-
Has anyone any experience of using the mikuni copies for sale on t'internet?? My original one is scrap and there doesn't seem to be any around. Cheers
-
Hi, ...is it true that you don't have to strip the forks down to change the seals on a dt175mx??? Cheers
-
Hi....my front rim is crap....would an xt250/350 drum brake model wheel fit? Not bothered about a bit of fettling just after an alloy rim!! Cheers
-
Evening all....got myself a new project, an 1981 dt 175...does anyone know what finish should be on the bottom yoke...is it that green finish that Yamaha used to put on kickstarts etc around the time or is it gloss or satin?? Cheers
-
Hi, Just a thought, have you tried cmsnl.com? I used them a few times for my dt. Good luck

It does make you wonder why on earth a 125 single needs a pump in the first place

Hi chief all speedos are inaccurate. Don't worry about it unless it's like my old garelli, which used to sway between 10 and 30 no matter what speed I did

Hi, earlier carbs will fit fine, but you are best off getting the originals cleaned professionally. ( I had mine done a few years back for £50 ). The earlier carbs may look clean but unless you know where there coming from you cant guarantee they'll be any better than the present ones. If you do them yourself immerse the innards in nail varnish remover or paint stripper-you can re-use the gaskets. Hope this is of some use Cheers

Chief, cant repack the bugger its welded all round. Actually I think it looks like it came like this as standard. Just too loud; 25 years ago it would'nt have bothered me...

'Evening, just after some advice regarding aftermarket tail pipes; the Gianelli I have on at the moment is far too loud ( eventhough it is BS marked), has any body any experience of 'big one' tail pipes that I've seen on ebay? Don't want sewing machine quietness nor annoying blast. Any help appreciated. Cheers

Hi, I wouldn't worry too much about what is supposed to be the right jet size- do a plug chop and decrease as necessary. My own Lemon should be running (according to Mr. Haynes) a 160, but even with a full gianelli system it still is a bit rich with a 140. Trial and error I suppose Cheers

Hi, just need a bit of advice please. I can't remember whether its ok to mix mineral and semi-synthetic two stroke oils together or not?...Cheers in advance
-
Chief, sounds like it was nipping up; check your oil level
-
I think you've answered your own question...'its never done it to me before up until a few months ago, carbs were also balanced a few months ago'. Prob must lie there check them again or take back to place that did the balancing.

Evening all, advice/help needed with one of those problems that niggle; something seems to be sucking the life out of my battery. Its new but every time I turn off the ignition the battery drains, allbeit slowly; the horn will operate but after about 5 mins it will only 'dink' . Once started the battery charges up fine; idiot lights brighten up etc. Could this be a bad earth? Cheers
-
Might seem obvious but check that all of the bulbs are the same wattage/voltage

Beautiful chief
