-
is it a mikuni carb DirtyDT? I have some hexagonal jets are these the right ones...what size is fitted at the moment?
-
yeah sounds like you need to strip and clean the carb again paying particular attn to the pilot jet and the bypass hole, use a carb cleaner aerosol and straw...and compressed air if you have it available

1989 DT 50 MX Running problems and parts help please...
Airhead replied to sword70's topic in Yamaha Workshop
your crankcase may be flooded, remove the sparkplug, leave the ignition and fuel tap switched off and then shove it around the street in 3rd gear (with help)...this will expell any excess fuel in the case....Then try again -
I dont have condensation under my cover at work, its only a cheap nylon thing...I would try another cover rather than accept my bike would be always wet under it
-
I would stick with steel if its a wheel spacer, alu is a bit soft and may crush into the wheel axle slot...have it zinc plated post some dimensions
-
ahh is it coincidence or were you watching the thread I misunderstood and thought it was the torque arm! so he's fixed up now then eh?

i'm unfamiliar with the teikei carb but...always try a couple of brand new plugs before you do anything else -
this any good? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1c2a9f3384 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-RD125-DX-REAR-BRAKE-STAY-ARM-1E7-/221112997611?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item337b5c96eb

yep i can see where DirtyDT is coming from...possible head gasket failure. is your coolant level dropping? any sign of water / or steam coming from the exhaust?
-
I would be concerned about getting condensation inside my cover...how come? are there no vents? no airgap underneath? you should think about treating the cause...not the symptom
-
did you fit the return spring in the right place...in the locating hole as pictured?
-
to make it mega reliable follow the checks in the owners book and keep it standard, after all its fast enough on anything but a motorway,
-
although i dont 'know' the answer i would suspect that the fan will continue to cool the engine even after the key is off

This any help Jim? Overflow, vent and battery breather tube push down between the engine and the swing arm pivot
-
I saw that carrier sold on ebay recently didnt I ? Looks good
-
yeah it looks good, that's a helluva sidestand
-
is there a mounting hole and something to attach the spring to then ato?
-
you'll be lucky to find one imo. soldering is your best bet, how come it didnt work then?
-
not sure ace bars would cut it on a dirt bike, i see your plan and to be honest i can see this giving around 2 inches maximum adjustment with the worry that they could somehow come apart at the cut. How about just having some bar end devices made so that yoy can slide the grip and controls further out. Done well that would be safer in my book

1984 DT175 MX - 12 volt regulator to complete my 6v to 12v conversion?
Airhead replied to Cosmo's topic in Yamaha Workshop
Good news Phil, turn your mixture screw in about 1/2 turn clockwise to see if that helps with the slow return to idle
