hi after changing my water pump seal i have now noticed it warming up quickly and then shooting up towards the red is there any knack to bleeding the system or may i have a sticky thermostat i will be having another look at it at the weekend just wondered if anyone could give me a heads up before i take it apart yet again im dying to get it in for its mot nearly there now cheers bry

hi my water pump oil seal was leaking and whilst riding there was some clutch slip but the oil was like milk i have changed the seal and i fired some 5w30 semi car oil in and it slips like fook now. but ive heard car oil is ok but im guessing not what would be the best oil to use and do we think my clutch is nackered now? cheers bry

hi bit of a follow up i took the carb off to change the main jet to suit my end can it was a bit dirty so gave it a quick clean when back together it started and ran loverly and crisp until it leaked fuel everywhere so carb off again to give the floats a tweak put it back together fired up no leaks but no bottom end revs or idle again im wondering if there may still be crap in the pilot jet cheers bry

hi i have been reliving my youth by buying bikes i used to have back in the day my recently purchased dt runs a bit bit funny ive had it a few weeks but have been concentrating on paint work now thats finished its time to get it running right i have not tried to sort it yet but thought id ask for a few opinions before i start first off it wont idle second its bogs down a bit when you rev it at higher revs its very crisp but the revs drop down slowly as if your closing the throttle slowly on the move it does go very well tho anyone got any ideas or suggestions before i pull the carb to bits cheers bry

just joined so thought id say hi bry
