  1. how come you bought a trail bike if you dont want one?
  2. not sure the forks are the same Scott...something tells me they arent, the DTX has a huge brembo disk up front as compared to the DTR
  3. http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=toolbar-instant&hl=en&ion=1&qscrl=1&nord=1&rlz=1T4GGLL_enGB401GB402#hl=en&cp=23&gs_id=l&xhr=t&q=carb+cleaner+and+rubber&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&qscrl=1&nord=1&rlz=1T4GGLL_enGB401GB402&site=webhp&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=carb+cleaner+and+rubber&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=d8b2093a804d7feb&ion=1&biw=1024&bih=540Tell me you didnt squirt carb cleaner at anything rubber!
  4. Greetings 'billy brown' ever heard of mika?...no...perhaps as well
  5. Just a guess...is it the engine kill switch?
  6. Greetings Sean, thats a big toy...play away
  7. crankcase pressure problems are usually caused by the crank seals wearing and can often be replaced with the engine insitu although not always. RH seal tell tale is burning oil and smokey and possibly a smell of fuel in the oil LH seal, take the cover of the magneto and see if theres any oil residue hanging around in there...or petrol, start the bike and spray the seal with WD40 through the slots in the rotor, listen for any change in engine tone it might be an idea to test the resistance of the ignition coil and the charge coil in the magneto...compare the the specs in the manual
  8. leave the plug out overnight and try it again
  9. Try a new spark plug first, better still warm the plug in the oven until its hot, then fit it quickly and try again. It would be best to remove the old plug and leave it out overnight to allow the flooded cylinder to evaporate
  10. never had one myself fella, mines tucked away...not outside
  11. good one sniff
  12. Greetings draggie and welcome back, hope you have lots of fun this spring / summer
  13. get it alarmed too john, you'd be surprised at how the pikeys can cut through chains
  14. I wondered about the stators too, unless the 05 stator will fit the 02 engine, i doubt you will find the answer to that without buying it, also compare the numbers on the rotors before mixing them up and note it down
  15. very nice john but i couldnt help noticing have you got a fly tipping problem?
  16. Greetings curt well it might fit but wont be leccy start! If it were me I would want to keep with the original engine for the registered engine number, and having said that would be looking to repair the damage

    "thanks airhead, yes i have an haynes. today put ht lead 6mm from head bolt, great spark. screwed in plug, not connected to ht. lead, not a spark in site????????? any clues greatly appreciated bj." say that again?...but differently did you mean screwed in plug cap, fitted plug and rested on cylinder = no spark?
  18. huh..a new thread?, i'll try to find your old one then to re-read it
  19. French blue is FBL, Code 00G3 Google 00G3 Blue and you will see many results http://www.cmsnl.com/faq.php?fq_catid=15#74

    Dont panic Scott, it sounds like the starter clutch jamming, Its in the Haynes manual how to check it, it doesnt sound like the motor
  21. Good one NEV, is it finished now, wheel and forks on yet?
  22. Greetings John and Amusing intro... No idea about paint colours mate but i know of a good painter if you want his contact details? Me? well I just rattle can the little beauty
  23. member Paul Dawkins is yer man
  24. The red light is the oil level alarm, but it's on constantly when in neutral...as a bulb check The headlight only works with the engine running, but the pilot works from battery
