yeah i do the frame is still waiting to be straightened (going to get a pro to do it though) the cost is the stumbling block. every time i've got £500 spare an emergency pops up and it gets spent still not got over having to buy a transit after my fiat went pop.... moment i am i'll carry this on

the nikisil barrels give an extra 2-4 bhp because of the tighter clearances. people get put off them because of the expense of repairing the nikisil (£130+)

oh the joys of getting a 2 stroke running spot on looks bang tidy that though nev,nice to see the bar raised so high....

i've now given up for over 2 years (3rd time of giving up though) i did it with willpower the 1st 2 times,couldn't do it myself the 3rd. i went to the doc and got prescribed champix... they worked a treat (some proper nasty vivid dreams though) had a fag and a cigar last weekend when pissed (still love the smell) wont be doing that again. i never say never,but i think i'm through with it now.... good luck and never stop giving up

MMMMMM spares did this dt come with the complementary case of tourette's they usually bring on? and what a bargain for £250....

i'm lovin the way your bike keeps evolving fella! blink and its changed again

its process of elimination i'm afraid fella. get a long screw driver,hold the handle against your ear and touch t'other end against the engine to find out where the noise is coming from (head,clutch area,water pump,crank etc) was it a full rebuild or just the head,if it was did it have a rebore? if its had a rebore,did it have the power valve ground to match? all a ballache,but most rattles aren't good

only good thing about this weather? its a little softer when i fall off this.... its defo field bike weather

cracking idea that nev! had a looksie and its about 25mm out soon get that sorted out tho gonna pop all the bits off that frame onto my other frame and have a field bike too which is a bonus

well the new toy has arrived (before the sheds built ) started stripping it down to prep the frame for powdercoating AND....... its bent its ONLY the rear subframe (i was advised by an avid motocrosser) he had a measure up using straight edges and a tape. just heat it up and bend it back into shape he said i came up with this.... its worked out well and now its not too far out (5-7 mm) i'm going to take the last of the kink out with a pipe bender and blow torch after that i'll heat up the whole rear end with the blow torch till its blue and then dunk it in a water butt to set it its all good fun....

i've got a jack russell,emmie the small gay dog... she's a light sleeper,good barker... but her yoda impression is crap.... but on a serious note,bitches are far more loyal than dogs i've found. also make sure you know the exact history of the dog you rescue. i still got scars on my right hand from a dog whose previous owner used to beat him while drunk,rescue home did'nt tell me...came home from pub,stroke the dog,dog goes CHOMP.... my mate always had akita's...big,powerfull,very clever and very loyal. look cool too...

cheers weimie! and not to worry,i've acquired another dt (E reg,non matching engine and frame numbers) perfect for my little project. plus i'll get a decent field bike out of it too just gotta get my arse in gear and go pick it up.....

good job i never proclaimed meself as a genius lol i swear it worked for me,tho all the numbers need to match (even the number/letter combos after the main code) if i figure out how i made it work i'll update lol.... oh and saw this on flea bay nev... Item number: 160692405251 any good to ya?

ahh i see what you mean now... maybe it only works for mechanical parts and not the electrical side then? it defo works for bearings etc,but maybe thats because they are parts bin sourced?

might be totally wrong lol but i 1st saw it on here in a post by yamagod (2009 ish) here's the link that was on that page http://www.johnnystoybox.com/yamaha_parts_cross-reference.htm it's defo worked for me with bearings,caliper brackets and the rear suspension. worth a size up anyhows....
