Mate if you're selling your TDR I want it! Prices are crazy for 2 strokes though, makes sense to keep it in my opinion

Looks mint! Nice purchase

Looking at those I would imagine they've been overtightened as well, hence the bending of the clamps. Torque setting for the exhaust bolts on my 675 is 18nm I think. Yours would be something similar, I'm surprised there's thread left in the cylinder head

Plenty of heat and you should be able to bend them back

Saw that earlier, Christ knows what that thing is running on

Just be careful of the pesky thieves!

Have a look on fowler's parts. If they haven't got any available on backorder then you can at least get the yam part number. It will also tell you if any bikes share the same part

If your rear axle is hollow you should be able to get something universal, will be fine for chain cleaning etc. No good for removing the wheel though

Looking good mate, cracking job!

Hope you all have a good one, I've got a houseful including my 2 year old nephew. Thought I'd share this

Sounds like you bent the lever, either get yourself a new one or heat it up gently and bend it back

What? Who said that?

Pics are working for me

Before going down that route stop being a big Jesse and open it up! Going in to top is pointless unless you're doing high rpm. So grab a handful and give it some

50/55mph at 6k is pretty good I reckon. Don't be afraid of taking it above that rpm while running in, just don't hold it there for long. The top end on my DT is at like 11500rpm, and I wouldn't put it in top gear until about 9000 minimum.

Looking forward to seeing it in person on Saturday

If the head gasket has gone then you'll be losing coolant out of the expansion tank. If it was my bike I wouldn't be running it! It might be worth testing your thermostat when you have the system drained and making sure that opens when hot

ACF50 I imagine

According to my local dealers post on Facebook it's ridden on a bike license, so not really a trike

Definitely a bit weird looking, but I definitely want a go on one

That's Donington park for you, all right handers!

Yeah it's true, arriving in the spring for test rides according to my local dealer. I wonder if it's actually free standing? It's always on the sidestand in the pictures I've seen

My roadsmarts went really knobbly too

Any sports touring tyre from a reputable manufacturer should be fine. I'm running Dunlop roadsmart 3's on 2 of my bikes without issues. I'd recommend them
