try and get a manual for it and check the ignition timing settings, however until then you may see some marks on the ignition stator and the engine case that should align?...just a guess though I am not familiar with the bike

sounds like advanced ignition timing doesnt it Robert? is it a bike with CDI or points ignition?

he hsnt been back since August 2011 connor!

Ahhh I see Click on yamaha classics at the top of this page then click on 'start a new topic'

yamrider start your own thread, dont hijack nathans for this!

Great bike Dan...dunno about the piston though, why would you want to do that anyway out of interest? Greetings and

wow 8 hours thats a hell of a journey...you would need a 2nd mortgage for the fuel here!

Have any of you ever met Dan? he's got a bike shop in Idaho and a great website that he imparts his great knowlege for the likes of us lot click on INDEX http://www.dansmc.com/

welcome back to biking clockman just in time for all this nice weather were having

Greetings Lee and

Dryish going home mate, was the engine hot going home then? isnt that a pumping issue rather than the gauge?

not sure what you mean and a pic would maybe help? you cant weld to aluminium though cant you fit a thread insert into the stripped thread?

it's a 1976 DT175C Sacha

Nahh leave it in dylan...theres no way it will get like that in a day!

all good info Ryan...BTW I can see the 'Y'

Well due to the unbelievable rain on Friday I didnt go the the ACRD club rally. Given a decent day I will go to this now...anyone else?

isnt that just a silencer...sure is pricey

a word of warning, never cut up a good one unless you know what you'll find inside, I did this and found nothing! it was only restricted by the tube in the header pipe Andy post up the number on the pipe you just cut up with nothing inside

Greetings from t'other side of Derbyshire Thunderpants

you would need to clean the top of the piston to see the size that is currently fitted...dont take it for granted that it it is currently fitted with a standard piston

yeah but it's clashing with the aircooled RD rally drewpy!

did you check the PV..as NEV says it's all in the de restricting topic

so theres a spark? is fuel getting to the plug? is there compression? have you ever had the magneto flywheel off?

Thanks for posting the pics of this other form of restriction
