Airhead

Try another plug, if you have had flooding remove the plug overnight (under cover) and allow the fuel to evaporate. Then try again but if it doesnt start dont go mad and flood it again

have to say it first but...use the choke

First thing to do sam is check that the powervalve is fully opening. Turn on the ignition ant the pv will do the 'swish swish' sound of its cleaning cycle and will then sit in the full open position with the 'U' notch in the pulley aligned with the hole in the head. At this point I think the key can be switched off again without affecting the position. Now remove the exhaust and check the pv is sitting fully open and the top of the exhaust port is a dead smooth passage. see my thread deristricting my DT125r for further info and pictures. There is also a speed limiter installed in the speedo, it will need pulling out and tucking away somewhere (also covered in that topic) The black/green wire thing is not for your bike but for the later elect start model DT125RE

Roll on summer indeed Tom, ejoy the DTR and welcome

Theres a sign place near where I work in Dukinfield, I bought decals from sunrise graphics and got them to apply them. The guy said he could have made them so I guess they can make you some from a plan...worth asking?

Did you pull the clutch lever in ? (not sure if you have to though)

Welcome shining, a fine testimony to the YBR, they are indeed a great little bike. ...Paul

Welcome Ian, whats the TTR 250 like?, go on show us then

Possiby a bblocked fuel tank vent? If it happens again loosen the filler cap and listen if air is sucked in (might be hard to tell though as it will be so quick) also with loosened filler...will it start quicker than it did last time? I am however NOT suggesting you should ride with it undone, just trying to determine where the problem may be

Hi Doug, love the sig is it an endless chain with no split link? I suppose it is these days

Good on ya mate, now you and bro can do the rallies eh?...bit of catching up to do. reminds me of ...Paul

I dont know the bike but I usually think NO because will you have the physical room for a bigger battery? forum member speedshop may give better advice though?

Oohh and i'm going to the ACRD club rally again, its at Derby Rugby club this time, maybe you can go there but youll have to check with merv...dont see why not because it is self financing 2010 ACRD Club Rally

I thought you were going in May, dont need a 2 stroke although I know thats the theme. I dont suppose you would like a Suz GT185 for a while

Hi, just post any issues you have, I see you have one on the go with answers about lights and indicators

They could be breather pipes from the gearbox or water drain the airbox ...Just guessing though. see if they are mentioned in your handbook

A world tour?...stranded on the moors?...won the lottery and forgot all his mates?
