arent all cylinders connected to the petcock? you need to see if the cyl thats not firing has a spark?

try bleeding them blue

are you saying that when you press the start button the starter does not turn the engine emil?

they are pre greased John, perhaps dt thought they werent so long as you fit quality bearings they'll be ok, some of the crappy ones I have seen hardly any grease in them but good ones will be OK for as long as 'you' have the bike i'm sure

its already greased leave it alone or you'll spoil the seal

i'm here 'just nod if you can hear me' Greetings Steve

good news john, did you get to watch?

not worth it ken, the insurance would be huge

well its not a 2A6 is it...they are monoshock bikes. DT125E always confuses me...as far as I know there are two of em!!! one an elec start twinshock (yours espanta( and the 2A6 monoshock one !!!

I'd do as dt said, take it somewhere to weld something to it that you can hit

how about L plate restrictions and insurance company notification ed...Its just a dream IMO

its another how do I bolt on another 20bhp question

Fair enough but that isnt a DTR, the athena DTR head gasket looks just the same as a yamaha one, least it did when I last saw one

OK I'll sit this one out then !

Greetings mick see here fella

The throttle slide isnt aligned properly so it's sat on top of the peg and therefore being held in an open position...?

Nice work welshy, It's gonna look tons better now

Yep..an accident waiting to happen!

blimey Jim, wher've you been?

a helicoil is NOT a next size bolt, It's a stainless steel thread insert that is screwed into the hole. The end result is a thread that is stronger than the original one was when it was new and the standard stud remains in use. It requires a special kit with the inserts a tapping drill and tap, and a tool th wind the inset into the freshly tapped hole. Helicoil is just one brand name, tends to be the one everyone uses just like we all call vacuum cleaners 'hoovers' I use a 'Re-Coil' kit...just another brand

yeah they will be able to do it luke, give em a call

oh balls luke, yeah that could have been the problem with the shite gasket leaking. as others have said it will need the barrel off to fix that! you will need access to a pillar (bench) drill to fix that ....the helicoil needs to be totally perpendicular to the gasket face and you cannot guarantee that with drilling by hand. I am feeling your pain fella

yeah course you can, you dont even have to have a yamaha

y'know Jimmy...I'll miss all this nonsense when you've gone

do the head steady bolts last, luke...s'pose it's done now anyway
