  1. Hi Removing swing arm you ave to release monoshock pin and the pinion bolt that runs through the frame & swing arm and obviously the rear wheel all pretty simple . When I did this I bought a new swing arm bolt and bush set from ebay for £20 worth doing this whilst its of. Jap lac is also a good paint to use on the frame it gives a good finish even though its brush applied. ope this elps
  2. Well my mx was the talk of the pub last night after I had read the top speed of a 125 I thought surely my 175 would beat this so subsequently I told everyone, Now I have to return to said pub with the knowledge I was given false information, Thanks a bloody bunch!!!! By the way Up yours I did look behind me and I still couldnt find reverse.
  3. Hope it wasnt your name change that crashed this site Airhead!!! I think wot Seanna was after is whether a combined rectifier/regulator would work on me bike or is just safer to fit the both separate like.? Cheers
  4. Bin following this thread hope you can help does anyone know were reverse is on my mx?
  5. Yep indeed I did lose the tail pipe in what felt like 100mph winds this morn with all eyes on me as I rode through Brighton first thing with the tailpipe sticking out of my bag trying not to make too much noise but judging by the looks I got I failed and indeed the studs did loosen somewhat during her maiden voyage But for now all is well with her. So any newbies out there tighten all at all times these bikes love to rattle loose any bolt or nut they can BLOODY GOOD FUN THOUGH!!!!! Will post pics soon Geo
  6. Ey Up ladies and gents Happy newness to all with a big thank you from me for all your great input and joviality. Wishing all the best for all NICE ONE SEANNA Whens that camping trip O G ? Geo

  10. Nice one Neo lookin good fancy a run out when i am on the road?

  12. O G your baffled!!!!! I just wanted to zip about on a nice little bike taking in the scenery whilst I stop once in while to listen to the birds singing perhaps taking a green lane or two along my merry way Now i have 1 and a half DT175/125 MXs Ive managed about 25miles riding until the rings blew . Swapped barrels over with much help and gratitude to Seanna. Managed around 15miles then the leccy went. Then I find out the engine base is a LC All a bit much for someone who hasnt gone near a bike for 25 odd years So Its not yer age just a lot gone on with me bike. Cynic Cheers for the info I tried to get some help from where i bought the new loom they guessed at the parking light which didnt exactly fill me with confidence. Cheers for now Geo
  13. Ok is there also a possibility that the gearbox has been swapped over as the engine with the 10v prefix does look identical to the mx engine.?????
  14. IT is about the mx O G but as that bike turned into a 175 now the other engine from the other bike has turned from a mx to a lc by the looks of things.I suppose because they are simple to strip they are simple to swap things over.So back to the thread!! Would it be easier to take of the magneto from the mx and fit in the lc engine? Any ideas anyone? Cheers Geo
