  12. Thanks for the update, glad you've got the hang of it now. My car's a bit like that...starts when I release the key
  13. Its most likely the starter relay thats at fault, you'll need to check that out but thats just my guess, I'm not familiar with the bike other than I've seen some lol. Have you got a service manual? that would help
  14. is the bike in neutral with the netral light ON Jack? Here is a free to download owners manual for your bike, from the Yamaha UK website http://ymenvom.crestec.nl/new/manuals/U3D9E2.PDF
  15. Did you set up your timing chain properly as per the manual Pete?
  16. way too big a jump IMO john, you'll get away with it in 2 miles of course because the engine wont be so hot
  17. Take care removing the cover, the gasket will be stuck some the the inner case and some to the outer case, dont part it far and tease it off one of them with something wemoto sell the gasket on its own http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/yamaha/dt_175_mx/78-79/picture/clutch_cover_gasket/
