Thanks for that, I'll give them a call. Yes the airbox is intact and the filter is standard.

Forgot to put in my post that's it's a 1980 DT 175MX (2K4) Paul

Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice here. I have swapped over the head, piston and barrel from a DT 125 onto my DT 175 - reason being I never passed my test years ago, so I can run this legally when the DVLA chamge the engine size. I know I should really put a 125 carburetor on it but I'm hoping I can use my existing 175 one by changing the jetting. Looking at the specs in the Haynes manual the only difference parts seem to be the Main Jet (110 and 130) and the Needle Jet (N-4 and 0-2). Is this as simple as it looks? Change these two and it should be run okay? If so, does anybody know where I can get a Needle Jet? I think I've seen Main Jets at Yambits but not the Needle Jet. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Paul

Thanks for all the links guys, I'll check them all out. Thanks for the prefix stuff Cynic, though I did get a reply from Yamaha and they say it was produced in October 1979.

Hi all, I’m new on this site and hopefully I’m posting in the right place. I’ve got a 1980 DT 175MX (although first registered in Feb 1980 the Chassis Number points to it being a 1978 model – 2K4 – I have asked Yamaha UK if there’s a way pf checking this). I’m fitting new indicators for it that I got from Red Rose as there were none, and I wondered if anybody could tell me where to get the black sleeving that the handlebar cables have. I’ve looked on the internet but can’t seem to see exactly what I need. Thanks (I may be featuring more frequently here as I’m about to swap over the top end to temporarily turn it into a 125!!) Paul
