Paul White Happy birthday Paul

Greetings xstoy. yes overfilling the oil could cause clutch slip. You could do with a manual ...Paul

Greetings hectic, from 4 eh? you've had a good upbringing then. Love those old trailbikes ...Paul

Yeah sorry Pete, wasnt ignoring you matey but some posts I miss. welcome in and there seems to be a lot of noobs with YBR's around lately so you lot can have a good old chinwag lol ...Paul

yeah thats the plan Pat, got to get her back together and up and running first though

You would need the forks anyway for the brembo caliper on the larger disc brake

Yup thats the US equivalent of mine, good luck with the restore and keep is posted shntat. Greetings...Paul

sod off I mean greetings Al Roby

aaghhh the blue ones(like mine) are slower than the later ones as you know blue is a 1979 colour with the early sh1te airbox!

Al, is it a DT125MX? few and far between, ebay is your best chance but be prepared to pay good money. an Intro is the way to go for new members, we have a 'Noobs' forum, you can even post a pic of your pride and joy there. EDit, didnt read the title properly. a mk1 LC as Dirty DT has found you one, ebay still an option but maybe best to buy the new one?

Be sure to get all that oil off before painting / stoving. If you are stoving it dont forget to remove the pivot bushes.

I would go by the book, anyway 20 miles is a long long way on full throttle, more like occasional bursts of a few miles if you must

Thats a super looking bike mate, havent seen one of those so I'm out of date too

Easy start, or bump it. But surely if your starter motor is getting hot, then the plug must be wet through? if so pull it out, procrastinate for another day or so and try again

I think we better 'move on' Tom

Definitely, the wheels have to be worth that, not to mention the tank.It will however cost loads more to get anything like.

yeah the springs....thats what I meant Wont be long now, nearly done

Eyup Ross...Owdoo

Are you sure the swing arm is aluminium Tom? Looks a bit skinny more like a steel one, have you tested it with a magnet?

Yes 148 is fine, I think 146ml is the specitied amount. Fork oil comes in different weights up to 15w for the thickest so check what you put in. The forks are on the soft side though.

Good one mozzer, it is in very poor condition and it looks like it found you just in time isnt there someone in Portugal who does graphics kits? I think I saw something on here once. Hmm the frame...personally I like the original mettalised blue colour myself, black is a bit boring. Its going to look mint when youve done it, be sure to keep us updated with progress and pics. Ohh and a tail tidy is available for that model too.

and a quick line from me ------------------------ hi shep
