Airhead

Greetings Ryan, yeah good intro peace out to you too fella

so if you want thicker oil than 10W you could go the whole hog and use 15W or a less severe change 50% of 10W and 50% 15W and you'll have 12.5W

Greetings uncle buck, damn good choice to cut your teeth on, should hold its value well too if you look after it properly...dont let that exhaust rust away ! I'd like to see it

you got this wrong, 5W is thinner than 10W, so mixing 50% 10W and 50% 5W would give you 7.5W...thinner than the 10W you started with ! I would put a bit less than the specified amount in because you arent starting from a bone-dry fork assembly

well you've just had a free lesson in internet forum etiquette, arent you glad you came here , god knows what you are describing, it's so small it must be an owner manual? Haynes says for model 3RN1 onwards...495cc per leg, SAE 10W fork oil

so you'll not be using it much then just kidding we've had a great year for biking...makes a nice change.

what I meant with 'this shouting thing' is the use of capital letters, widely recognised as portraying a bit of a temper, if you dont get the answers you are looking for in the time duration you self impose then it's no use resorting to shouting...just soldier on patiently, anyway not every question is answered...what do you thing we are the oracle? just looked in my manual (Haynes) and the info is in there so how come it's not in yours?

no need to shout look in the f-ing manual ! It'll tell how much oil should be in there

Dont think shock absorbers get 'seviced' as such..more a case of an expensive rebuild! I wouldnt bother, your time and money would be better spent making sure all the pivots are free and greased

maybe message them then, best chance in UK perhaps?

dont forget the rubber cover on the chain roller, try these guys...they will get them if they are available, I've got spare chain roller and it's rubber cover somewhere if you are stuck...the steel pivot can be made from a bolt if you cannot source one...ask NEO http://www.tytrials.co.uk/trailandtrialsuk/cat_26574-DT175-Parts.html

Thats isnt allowed Stuart, maybe buy one then ?

no probs mate, me n drewpy have both had stuff done there, if you play your cards right they may just do stuff for you saturday morning while you wait...have for me anyway, you have to book time in advance

did drewpy tell you about the aqua blaster in Stockport unk? http://www.josephpercival.co.uk/our-services/vapour-blasting-2/vapour-blasting-gallery/

Greetings Jason would it be the same for a TY80, these have a chainguard for 80cc models but they are in UK, http://www.tytrials.co.uk/trailandtrialsuk/cat_43326-1-TY80-Parts.html

me too, it's huge fun getting the family pug chasing the spot around you can give him his daily exercise without even leaving your armchair but the best fun of all is when he gets some speed up on a laminate floor and has no brakes for the impending collision with the wall...he never learns

even a DT125 has a balancer shaft,,ohh my those XS's are such crude engines

but you never even mentioned a laser pointer !

WTF ?

I know Tommy, just mad ideas some of em have, all you can do is try to steer them in the right direction but sometimes they'll just go ahead anyway

It's been out so many times now eh!!!

just try it and see

Damn! what a thrill

Thats a fantastic bike you made there Ross
