Now then " i see u lot down there been gettin it cold lately.. well with the rise in temp , you"d better check in them sheds&garages[ for those who store bikes for winter]. Coz we had a cold spell like that in december, and the bikes in shed were running wi condensation after it warmed up . with the steel still being freezn and air being warm [ now yanks no laughing] 8 degrees.. better dry them forks and discs etc.

AHEM The picture of the orange coloured DT is a 1976 DT400B in non standard Portuguese Orange which was only available on the 250 version… However, saying that the Orange on DT 250 is a stunning colour and is without doubt my favourite This would be that DT400 IN DT250 Attire..[ note the fork bottoms have the bracket holes for the low chrome fender] And the rear indicators are short stem"d [ am not being picky is gorgeous]

Missed the summer You will be surprised how scarse the DT400 [Twinshock ] is .... most "here" [uK] have been butchered [field-biked] Take alook at this . it is forum member Chrisp" He got on ebay last year ...... The tank colour is [was] off the DT 125. FOR THE CONNISEURS of the DTs.

WHAT SUPERSTARS U+ [ O.G.OA.B.] ARE...... It was indeed the primary gear [slipping on shaft] There is no key[way] just a taper shaft .. had slipped " Gona get the graphite paste on shaft [seat it properly] than tighten the 32mm nut .. Musta been some torque in that kickback to slacken it ----- By the way theres a CLASSIC SCRAMBLE [ TWINSHOCK AT LOCHSIDE FARM TMORROW] just off A90 /forfar .nrthbound. past Mcdonalds . 500yrds // for any of u vintage bikers up north..11AM. STRT. i"LL BE MARSHALL SINCE HUSKYS on the operating table

Aye is all hapnin tday.. Like malta tkkr. kicked the husky 430 few times the day .. misfired [kickbacked ] big time then no compression. whipped of head ... then wen turning over "" piston go-in up & down--- put fingers on top o piston "" canstop it and still turn the clutch housing and crank gear,,, Barrel off --- can lift piston up down and crank gear [ clutch basket etc,] turns ,, but if i grab clutch . lack o" drive ... summat stripped or at worst crankshaft...???
-
Not so simple ,, [250] bore/stroke70x64---[400] 85x70... DT400 has longer stroke . so conrod wud need shifted... so its a stripdown if thats the route . also . think DT400 timing is slightly diffirnt. CDI. changing as well . and thier like hens teeth....
