Airhead

Greetings Dan

DTR's tend to do this to some degree, have you had the bike long enough to say this is unusual for your bike?

theres probably a filter gauze integral to the float needle valve...It gets clogged!

hang on I'll see if I have one Height inc reed stop screwheads = 48mm Width = 42mm Flange to point = 43mm

Unsolder the nipple, remove the inner from the outer sheath and cut the required amount off the sheath, then re fit the end ferrule and re-solder the nipple back on.

yeah...start the bike and see if it spits back into the carb

It's to make getting the piston in starting position easier...dab on the kicker to get the piston to TDC the gas bleeds into the port to make this easier...then when it's at TDC its ready for a kickstart ' RD400 also have this feature, doesnt drop performance when it's running so's you'd notice

well they havent made them now for a few years, if you like the 'off road, trail bike style' look at whatever 125cc bikes like This

DT125 will be a great place to start

yep, why is the inlet valve not sealing...burned...bent...sticking...broken spring????

you gotta be joking, way too powerful for a 1st bike

y'know now you've dropped the yokes down the fork...now isnt there a danger that if you hit a pot-hole the fork seals will collide with the underside of the bottom yoke? to check this, undo the fork caps to take out the spring tension then you can check the travel easily

One thing about it though...when you do finally get your own wheels you'll no doubt appreciate it more and take good care of your bike, that's often the way it works

yeah I had the same problem when I was a kid, I never had a forum to ask help on either! Cant you be a bit 'covert' like have a share of one but keep it at one of your friends house ?

yeah NEO It's because you use yours in all weathers, aint no paint gonna stand up to all that cold water being thrown at it when It's at a high temperature itself, even the original paint didnt last very long at all. It's about all you can do is to keep on top of it.

andrew did you use hammerite BBQ paint? I use plasti cote BBQ paint from B&Q or Wilkinsons, needs curing first though I leave it on the works boiler for a week

Twat, wonder if he lost his job...gross misconduct i'd say

cant be that big a deal, he's not bothered to reply !

whats the vin number?

Great news slice

Superb Sacha now get her ridden a bit before the weather breaks

Huh?

great stuff john, what you been up to then? did you go in the copter?

yeah friday afternoon nina, I have the afternoon off, have you got to do a full days work?

dont buy that mikuni carb you linked to, it's not right for the bike...you would have to premix with that one there's no oil feed spigot to the carb. surely you can have your original sonic cleaned for a small price?
