    no its the head gasket, hope they didnt use one of those cheap nasty all metal pattern ones that have no rubberised coating

    the bearings are often stamped/etched with a code, get this then you can source the new bearings from any bearings supplier much cheaper than dealer prices are you OK with removing them?, dont forget there is a spacer between them inside the hub

    head gasket again, perhaps the old residue wasnt cleaned properly ...or if the bike was ridden to long when the old one failed it could have warped the head and so would require skimming

    here we go, its a major strip down and crank removal...like i said earlier, worst case scenario @ drewpy...to me its either bucket/shim or tappets, tappets are not exclusive to pushrod engines my TTR600 OHC has them
  8. Airhead
    some things cant be seen from pictures...when knocking occurs the worst case scenario would be a shot big end bearing, but how you have determined it's the back cylinder if that's the case is beyond me. its not a tapping sound then as the tappets?

    remind us Jimmy so we dont have to hunt down your posts! what was apparently wrong with it?

    I dont see how the test light would work but if the ammeter showed no current flow with the key of, that to me is a clean bill of health. Coupled with what you said earlier about the voltage increase across the battery I would say alls well...maybe with the exception of the battery itself or there is a bad connection somewhere...sounds a tricky one I was expecting some current flow that may have righted itself with the reg/rec being unplugged. I'm stuck too now!
  11. Airhead
    a test light?... explain so you disconnected the battery on one terminal and connected an ammeter between the cable and battery...is this right?
  12. Airhead
    How have you rested for this, an ammeter in series with the battery?

    if youre powder coating the frame ask then NOT to shotblast the frame VIN number, this is most important!!! strip this area yourself with nitromors and a wire brush

    Ollie its a 10v model, that should be enough info to buy a cable...try yambits or wemoto Exhausts are hard come by so make a good job of cleaning and painting it and keep it that way with regular re-paints

    thats how they were sold in the Phlipines, Australia, South Africa and other places, no need to doubt its year or anything. They are indeed aircooled from standard, later ones had a disk brake. Based on the DT125 (MX) but the engine parts are different to its predecessor
  23. Airhead
    you even had an hour lie-in with the clocks going back
  24. Airhead
    Good luck Dave,
