Airhead

lol, first one was 0000101 Nev

could be the brake shoe cam getting stiff (rear wheel), give the operating arm a wiggle back and forward, it should move back (rearwards) quickly without you having to push it, unless of course corrosion is binding it up...a common problem in winter.

Good choice John, the bike looks great

for the right crimp tool for the japanese 3.5 bullets google 'uninsulated crimp tool'

why do you think fitting a bigger jet will help Tom? after all It's only ever going to be a 12hp bike and fitting a bigger jet isnt going to change that...that's for sure

Thays bloody lovely, now get it sold and buy a stroker

take some tools on your trip Tommy

so eagle wants to fly Greetings and

Check 'A' is not blocked Check the gasket around 'B' is not broken / split

when starting from cold..... switch on fuel pull out the choke knob kickstart with little or no throttle (choke wont work properly when throttle is opened) when it fires up, use gentle throttle control to keep it going choke off after about 1 minute

welcome back mozzy, lovin the baby XT what a great buy

Greetings Tony

nice I suspect the DTX's days are numbered now

There may be no filters in the tap, if it has an obvious bowl there shoud be, either way you need to sort this issue though. I do have to ask you this though..........when you reported a poor flow earlier when torned to ON..........you DID have lots of fuel in the tank eh....eh....eh??? Just looked in my manual, theres only the filters in the tank;)

well if the filters are clean and you have a poor flow on main supply, then something's blocked in the tap, so either clean it again untill it's fixed or replace it

I'm more concerned about the fuel delivery right now, just back out the mixture screw to 1 1/2 turns for now and sort out the fuel delivery, there are often 2 screens, one is inside of the tank and will need the tap to be unscrewed off to get at it, the other is often inside of the bowl of the tap isnt there a hexagon 10mm at the bottom of the bowl? *** IMPORTANT*** Always use a 6 point socket here unless the bowl comes off easily, dont force it or you'll risk rounding off the soft metal

you might not need a new tap Hitch, maybe the filter screen in the bowl is dirty, or one of the tubes that go inside of the petrol tank (part of the tap) This problem will have contributed quite a lot to all of your troubles I'd say

Great pics Laura and yeah it's nice to see you out and about with dad

Great news kim, have fun

lol

How come after all that time you never mastered it?

yes the oil light should be on in neutral, it's a bulb check feature. Check your bulb if yours doesnt work. First gear should always be an easy change, sometimes neutral is a little more difficult. I'd check the clutch adjustment for this

maybe its very similar to the DT175 unit? have a look at this, check out the plugs / sockets and wire colours and the switches http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-DT175-1978-81-LH-Handlebar-Switch-QS3H7-/321174749794?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item4ac781c262#ht_3863wt_721

well thats surprising

dunno about the possibilities but be aware that if you raise it significantly it will lean over very heavily on the stand!
