They are all good.

I haven't seen it running but my best mate has and it was a quick bike. but the guy i bought it off let his step dad try and strip the bike ie wires and took all the lights off and messed about with the carb as it was running funny. and took the power valve unit off. and it never started again. so i thought i would buy it for a project for £300 with v5. i just don't know what to try next.

Lol. i put it all back together still can't get it to fire up. Its really starting to get to me now. is there anything else i can try. i just don't fancy spending anymore money.

Ok i tried everything you said old git. but i am now still in the same boat can't get my head around why my bike won't start. Has anyone got any more ideas. thanx Jon

Still no joy. its really starting to get to me now i thought dtrs were bullet proof. i just don't want to throw more money at a bike i have never seen working.

Yes lol

Hi old git. the bike at the moment is upside down in my garage with the head and barrel off. then sprayed the inside with wd 20 ill leave that for 48 hours then try again. if not i will rebuild the engine. happy days.

hi all how easy is it to take the engine out of a dtr?

Hi lads its been a while since i have tried anything with my bike coz of lack of funds. but had some money last week so started to try and get it started. right took the head off and the barrel didn't need a re bor but the head needed to be put back straight. the piston was fine too all looked good apart from the gaskets so bought new topend gasket set. but when we were putting the head and barrel back on the engine we noticed that down the crank we could see it was full of water should there be water in the crank?? Please help. thanx jon.

thanx for the welcome,
