    This is what i use though there are many others, even Halfords will have something but you must use motorcycle specific oil for wet clutch operation http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-935-motul-transoil-expert-10w-40-lubricant-for-gearboxes-with-wet-clutch-technosynthese-ester.aspx

    great first post lol
  7. no you need to heat the caliper so it will expand fractionally, then spray inside the screw to cool the screw and so contract that item...work quickly
  8. you'll need a blowtotch, a soldering iron wont touch it. Failing a blowtorch maybe boil it in a pan? then spray a little penetrating oil on the screw...(take precautions, dont burn your hands!)
  9. yep you'll need easy out's and heat as DirtyDT posted
  10. have you managed to get the snapped nipple out of the caliper then?
  11. just measure yours up and give them a ring before you order the nipple

    maybe a large bumbag would do it
  13. they wouldnt have been discussing your particular bike model tom, but its worth checking out
  14. Hmmm by the power of Google I found this from another forum "Public service announcement: If you need to replace the sliding pin boots on your rear caliper on your Yamaha, you'll notice the parts aren't listed on the dealer's fiche. I laughed at my local Yam dealer when he said you have to replace the whole caliper body! A quick shufty round the other manufacturer's fiches revealed a few bikes use the same Nissin caliper. Here are the Honda part numbers for the rubber boots on the rear caliper: 45133-MA3-006 (Boot 45132-166-016 (Bush pin) The front will be similar, Yam don't list them but the others do. I'll post up those later if anyone's interested. Hope that helps a few of you."
  15. weather not good...thats something of an understatement, It's VILE !!! yeah see if the noise comes and goes with pulling the clutch...might be best checked with a warm engine
  16. Here's one to watch http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-DT175-MX-oil-tank-/330724415840?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4d00b61960
  17. does the noise stop when you pull in the clutch lever?
  18. Greetings mate for pics see the sub-forum FAQ's

    Eeeek that pic...looks like the last view through Titanic's cabin widows your new battery will no doubt be pre-charged so if you havent got a proper bike charger just stick it on the bike and see how it goes
  20. dont bother until you have a few road miles done michael they will smoke a bit at first but it should clear...make a judgement then but i doubt you are over oiling. By the way havent you got a workshop manual?
  21. sounds like you have no battery power to me, without the engine running...does anything work?...fuse?
  22. Greetings mightymule
  23. have you tried siriusconinc jak?
