  7. are you saying that when you press the start button the starter does not turn the engine emil?
  8. 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

  17. 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
  18. OK I'll sit this one out then !
  19. The throttle slide isnt aligned properly so it's sat on top of the peg and therefore being held in an open position...?
  20. Nice work welshy, It's gonna look tons better now
  21. Yep..an accident waiting to happen!
  22. 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
  23. yeah they will be able to do it luke, give em a call
