If you've only been off the road for 4 years, you've riden a modern sportsbike before and you trust yourself, you'll be fine, but if your still not sure book yourself on one of the Police run bikesafe days, I did it a few years back after returning to bikes after a near 20 year lay off and thought it was excellent, just like everyone else I know who's done one. Not from your area so don't know about meets or ride outs, but www.therevcounter.com is a nice friendly bikers forum, I'm sure you'll get to know what's going on around where you are if you ask on there. good luck and ride safe (till the roads dry out at least )

Thanks yoda; would really like to try and make a new one but having never attempted anything like it b4 I think I'd struggle, mainly with the connectors, might seem like a stupid question but would I be able to re-use or purchase replacement block connectors, thanks again, steve.

.....I'm new, not only on here but to Yam's, 2 strokes and rebuilding/spannering, so go easy with me. Since buying a 1979 dt 175 mx as winter project last year things haven't moved on that well, down to the fact that just about every part on it was knackered, tonight I discovered the the loom and wiring is well past it's best and will probably need another, anyone know where I might get one? along with a bottom yoke, original exhaust and throttle cable/assembly - for starters. So far have had frame powder coated and new piston and rebore - that's it, well apart from picking up a few bits' to go on once it's ready to go back together. thanks and if virtual drinks are in order, help yourself on me. cheers, steve.
