The book says to arrange the plain plates approximately 70 degrees in succession from each other, note the word approx... so five plates times 70 degrees = 350 degrees, when you throw approx into the equation i'll give you 360 degrees and a balanced clutch. Welcome to the forum Nick ...Paul

Greetings Nigel we only want whats best for you

Haha funny intro Ian, welcome to the forum cobber, keep on coffin dodgin

Greetings Brock, its an old and rare bike, might be a journey to find spare parts. ...Paul

you may have to, I dont know what processes you will have to go through to get the registration document but I assume somewhere along the line you will need the engine and frame numbers. By the way my 2003 DTR has different engine and frame numbers, but my old DT175 has matching numbers so you may possibly have been mis-informed...(i dont know when they changed) Can you not see the frame number if you use a magnifying glass or something before you do anything like scraping and cleaning it

Hmmm how was the frame number misplaced? it is stamped into the headstock and takes at least two powder coating jobs by complete muppets to remove, I know this to my cast as it happened to me.

Hey welcome Liam thats a smart looking DTR I would suggest you sort out the legal registration issues before you do anything else to it, you need the numberplate and V5C, I take it the engine and frame numbers are present?

Good job youre minted, could have picked them up for £12 at Stockport

Welcome Bruce, we have a special place in our hearts here for DT175's A picture would be appropriate

There will be nothing wrong with the secure connection as they lock together using that red palstic mech, and also can be screwed down to a mounting plate both sides, It would take dynamite to seperate them see the data sheet http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/0dcb/0900766b80dcb152.pdf

Its almost certainly the notch up on the needle, mine did that in this video was a notch up (wasnt revving cleanly), put it back to standard and it was much sweeter. Go up a jet size instead, mine has a 140 instead of 130 in it with needle as factory set.

These any good drewpy ? http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=6988066 http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=6988063

You really created something different

16's can only ride 50cc though like I said you can ride 125 at 17, altogether a much better solution especially with the law and the insurance company

Homix you did the old XS proud, I love that bike you created. a real head turner

i'm also looking into this Nick. Yambits do a 2.75 x 21 and a 4.00 x 18. The French seem to fit these 4.00 x 18's on their DTMX's. I had a word with TY Trials and the chap there (John) said he was looking into supplying some early in the new year, not sure about 3.5 x 18 though...I think they will be hard come by, might have to go with the 4.00 x 18's I think i will give TY trials a little time and ask again in a couple of weeks. Heidenau K32 are right pattern but again 4.0 x 18 for the back. http://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/motorcycle-tyres/HEIDENAU/K32/

Thats a beast, looks good in red. 'Gas-up-lets-go' had one but has just sold it I think.

Dont like the sound of that at all Paul, I suppose it could be lean, if it's that hot the spark plug would also glow and the engine may 'run on' a little when the key is switched off.

Greetings Bill, you buying a branny then, post up a pic when you get you big cruiser. ...Paul

Welcome Nooj Just WOW

good people to deal with I find, will get you any parts for your yamaha

as said 40 - 50 is ok for a 50cc, an exhaust will cost a lot, I assume you are 16 so not long to wait then get a 125

No Merv, my brother in law Geoff and Up Yours (Kev) texted me with the vary same suspicions

The ultimate tuning accessory.
