Is this bike physically big enough???
Airhead replied to bexman's topic in Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes
Its a trail bike and as such, is quite tall for ground clearance, taller than a road bike 125 -
Hmmm....Looks familiar, Show us another pccy, somewhere around the tank filler cap
-
Class... sheer class Couldnt be bothered with a moped myself, happy to ride Bantams and a trials cub off road and wait till i was 17 when got a second hand Honda SS125 twin, damn good little bike that was, Oh and 153 MPG and 13 BHP...Food for thought there Oh and ReBorne, You couldnt get those from Woolworths
-
Oh, i dont know, ...I thought the way you used a ring spanner on your allen key to get extra leverage when the going got tough, showed quite some degree of techy prowess
-
Hi ReBorne, sorry to hear that, but it all sounds fairly minor stuff (If youre lucky) dont think you'll have too much difficulty sorting it, you just need to source some caliper seals and hopefully the rear suspension is just a tight / dry pivot on the linkage somewhere. On the plus side, youre really learning about that bike of yours.

Joking apart, dont think you should try drilling it out, the drill usually slips off the harder screw and heads for the softer ally casing (Especially if youre using a hand held drill). You need to remove the rest of the screws, Thats ANTI clocwise , remove the casing and hope that theres enough of the old screw to get hold of with some mole grips. Put the broken off screw right at the other edge of the molegrip jaw, this will keep the jaws parallel so they wont slip off...Good luck...And good luck with your adventure

Shouldn't you two be ironing or something?

Twin exhaust dt125 video found! Real or fake?
Airhead replied to oJaXo's topic in Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes
ok, but if you do go ahead and build one, take heed what i said about where the one pipe splits into two. This needs to be an equal 'Y' section at this point, not a Teed of branch like the copper template -

Airhead replied to oJaXo's topic in Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes
Andy, no offence but youre being very economical with what you have said about the picture What is the nice looking jobbie on the left ? What is the template for ? Have you bought the one on the left? If so where from? Ojaxo would be keen to know...Me? well im just intrigued -

Airhead replied to oJaXo's topic in Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes
Hmmm, problem is the one on the left is the only one that will work properly, the exhaust gases need to be presented to an equal Y shaped exit, as the one on the left has, not a T exit as on the right. The gasses on the example on the right will go down the left branch in the main as this is a straight through route at the T so they will take the easiest path -

Airhead replied to oJaXo's topic in Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes
Thats right Andy, its all about the look, can you explain the picture, looks like a proffesional and a home made job. And any way ojaxo might want to know where he can get one etc...Tell us more -
Hope you get some good weather soon, 5 weeks is a lo..................ng time to be without your wheels, looking forward to the pics, bring on the sunshine

Hi Andy, welcome to the forum.
-
Its a trail bike and i'll stick my neck out and say that centre stands arent fitted on trail bikes (At least i dont know of any) so you will probably not find one. Perhaps your bike shares the same frame with another model and thats why you can see the mountings, but yours will be a taller bike and so even if you find out what other bike shares this frame, its unlikely the stand would even reach the ground on yours IMHO
-
Its a fantastic looking bike and if i were in the netherlands (and a bit younger ) I would be off to my local dealers to drool, sit on, talk about this beauty.

Hi Ginger You must not in any way lever or use a wedge between the cases the surfaces are flat and oil tight and wont like this treatment. On old DT's in the right side crank case you will see two threaded holes, one is unused and opposite that there is a screw holding the crankcase oil seal retainer. You remove the oil seal retainer and you now have two threaded holes. You will have to make or get someone to make a puller that screws into these holes and presses down on the end of the crankshaft, take a look at this If you click on the view full size and then click on the image that uploads, you will be able to read the instructions
-
Hi XT jay, good to hear from you m8, post us a pic sometime here in gallery
-
Could be a bit of a faff keep removing the seat though, dont think its in the owners manual..oooh and all that hairspray on the filter, you wouldnt be able to do a thing with it before long
