Airhead

Welcome back Clive

yeah if it's the top of your piston

is the connection from the HT lead to the plug cap good? maybe cut back 1cm here

hmmm perhaps... The main jet became unscrewed? The slide needle bacame detached?

yeah if it looks untidy remove it back to the airbox, leave a little on the airbox and plug the open end off

Greetings Garth

Greetings David

Luke dont you mean you found a caliper off a DTX model 2006 and will that fit a 2000 DTR?

PM sent

Greetings Carl, that was a good days work getting drewp's mint bike, you wont be disappointed

Far too complicated for me Matt, good luck. I'd hate to suggest £££'s for an ecu only for it to turn out to be something else.... but...is there a fuel pump and does that work?

i'd have a go at getting the pump back on and working myself, premix as a last resort

so tired?

yeah they are mains ones

i have an aldi one, a fraction of ther cost of dremel and of course you can use dremel tools in it. I got two different sizes of chuck collets with it

what year is your bike? add it to your profile it may help

jets are cheap to buy from allens, only buy genuine mikuni ones, myself I would buy a few...find one thats too big and bogs the engine down on full throttle and then fit smaller until this doesnt happen

Thanks bippo, didnt get out on the bike though I may have a minor problem with the DT and it pecks at my head a bit!

Numan only as a very last resort would I drill out the stud, even 10mm is enough to get a hold of you may have to put a similar 6mm stud just at the edge of the other side of the vise grip it will keep the jaws parallel so they stay on the stud, failing this maybe weld a nut to what remains...heat is the key, and a rocking motion one way then the other usually works but always reversing the direction when it begins to tighten...strangely enough the first direction to find some 'give' is often the clockwise direction because the screw wont be bottomed in the hole, the amount of free movement will gradually increase...I have done this countless times myself it almost always ends in success,.................. drilling steel from ally is fraught with danger! apologies if im telling you how to suck eggs mate as to my birthday, well remembered it was yesterday

if you cant remove them just drill the screwheads off and that way you'll have a fair bit of screw shaft left so you can get vise grip on there?

That looks great John and sun visor is a big bonus

yeah thats a common problem isnt it, i cut a small piece of that fishtank airline tube for this packing too

we have a member Flyday58 who has one of these, check out his posts...there are some serious pitfalls when it comes to removing some of the ignition components

well in there it tells you how to check the timing, the oil pump...many things
