Try a new plug, points and condenser, if they dont work move on to the carb and fuel supply. After that your looking at checking your engine seals.

Hi Jim from Manchester, welcome to the YOC forum How about a DT175MX, popular bike in its day so new and used spares still available and still sought after now. Downside is due to lots of intrerest spares can be expensive. ...paul

Hi has the bike got TPS (throttle position sensors) I seem to remember that this type of symptom can be caused by those going down, try doing a search.

Hello Bill and welcome to the YOC forum. Check your oil with the bike upright and level, with mine the check is without screwing the cap in, dont know about yours but I would do the same unless you find out otherwise. ...Paul

Bad luck that Mikey, but you must have known the key was cracked and carried on using it!! Dont know how you will get out of this one but if it were me I would be trying to remove the broken piece, BUT...have you got a spare key or at least the key number?

Wow , now that WAS lucky, now just get 'bro' to pay for it.

Wow thats the shortest resto thread I ever saw looks like a nice job there, well done.

Hey Steve...If you install one in the Jawa spares shop, youll be able to talk allllll day long....ten four good buddy

Pat, If your bike is only 2004 vintage just order them from Yamaha dealer, its not exactly an old bike!

Im not gonna get sucked into this.

Nice one Goff, coulnt think of a better way to stick up two fingers to the limo lot, although I do agree this should really be a leaving secondary school thing. i remember when we left secondary school it was try to talk in a deep voice and see if you could get served in the pubs in town...that was it...nothing else. So whos on the trike then?

Thats what my missus keeps saying

I need to see the other side. The Dt175E has a pumped 2 stroke oil system, therfore the carb needs to have a connection for the oil line, it would normally be on the other side like this UK version.

Hi Rob, try ebay you will get one in the end i'm sure. Its a Mikuni VM24SS Main Jet 140 Needle Jet 0-2 Jet Needle 4J13 Clip posn 3 Pilot Jet 22.5 Air screw 1 1/4 turns out Float level 21mm ...Paul

You put on a clean dry cloth, rub it in your chrome, then polish up - simply should not have to do it for two or three months where one or the other while it protects your chrome removes manure and just - politics just after washing. easy Hmm ...Removes manure and politics, so its good at removing sh1t then

They are the same, so where did you find the new one after all these years?

Hello Jim, try Fowlers of Bristol

Might be an idea to change the fork oil, you will have to find out (get a manual) how to do it, what viscosity and how much to use, this doesn't need doing very often but its an old bike and you don't know when it was last done. brake fluid should also be changed just as it does in a car from time to time. You should use your clutch all the time for gear changing...Tip...when down shifting (only) give the throttle a little blip as you pull the clutch and simultaneously change gear, you will find it is much smoother that way.

Ive just spoken to the guy on the phone 01253 711 862 he;s having trouble with his web sit but is very much still in business. I got my graphics from there. His email is [email protected]

You should get those brakes checked Semi synthetic oil is your best bet, full synthetic can sometimes cause clutch slip

You keep on spending mate, apparently the recession will be over sooner that way

I found a wiring diagram and would think that the high low beam switch is open circuit or has lost its supply, if it doesnt work high or low then look to see if its got a supply (Blue) see Here

Try your nearest Yamaha agent, dont assume its not available. Dont you have any 'Classic' bike spares suppliers in Thailand? you could even try an engineering bearings supplier they will sell oil seals as well.

Its Here Ted ...Paul
