@HOTSHOT-III No, I believe it's a Yamaha DT230 Lanza arm. But yes it's like half the weight of the original one I had. I just need to get the right parts machined up to fit my wheels etc. I've been so spent on 4/5 other very expensive projects that I just haven't bit the bullet yet to order the machine shop work. With regards to mudflap where, I'll probably design some sacrificial item in CAD and 3D print it. @RikuRo I've sent you various links. Any DTR from 1989-2004 will do.

Yeah looks like it's in need of some TLC. When the bikes in neutral all the lights should be on. As I say, that bike looks like it's got a lot of issues and working through those by restoring it to factory is what I'd do.

I see you also recomended me the Zeeltronic. I'll make some research about it. The main problem for this bike at least in Spain (where I'm from) is that there's not really any market for it, and it's a shame really. I saw the carburetor as the "accesible small powering piece". I just dont want to change the cylinder or big things like that, just a small thing to change the performance of the bike without going for too much, just a little push. If Mikuni is good brand then i'll search for a 32 Mikuni to keep the line of being always equiped with Mikuni. I bought the bike with a Gianelli exhaust with homologation. I see almost every DT with installed Arrow, DEP, Turbokit or Gianelli exhausts kits. It's the only aftermarket thing installed to it. Now before changing carburetor or anything else, I need to fix the regulator, alternator and battery, and then i'll see. I see you're also pretty close with the bike, and very aknowledged about it. I really aprecciate the advice you're giving me.

How local are you to Dorset? Buy mine. Respoked/new bearings 2000 miles ago, nearly new tyres disc rotors and pads, ready to bolt straight in: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266386635256

@Calum I think it was £45 but it must have been about 10 years ago. Not a DT either it was a vfr400r nc30 that stopped charging the battery. They must know their stuff about motorcycle stators as I found the advert in the back of MCN. Also they claim to have most models on the shelf ready to exchange for quick turnaround.

Looks like I have the same stator set up I got a dtre engine missing the stator so I fitted the spare I had from what I believe is an old tzr125 it's the 3 coil one with the matching flywheel then took the spragg clutch off the back of the X flywheel and it's a direct fit onto the "tzr" flywheel

@350_2stroker PS they unscrew by turning clockwise...

@skunkno1 I am not going to comment. I run Silkolene Comp 2 Plus and have the same issue But I'm not bothered by it.

@declan I know, but the sight glass is problematic. I’ve seen posts where people thought the oil had disappeared but really had gone above the glass If my gear change feels smooth, I’ve got oil

@kevb1967 I've heard that the y1 is the highest compression head but I'm not sure on that I tried researching but didn't find anything

@1999dt Only real way to do it is to troll the breakers yards. Not easy in these flooweey times If you find out anything let us know...

@markus-w It appeared to be kinked under the fuel tank and so I couldn't see it. I also have the tank a good clean out which helped a lot I think

@Walney-Reptiles actually bought the bike with the rims already on. kinda sad that i don't have the enduro wheels as well but no can do. and i think that the wheels are from a wr125x

and i flipped the bike while doing a wheelie today. bent my front forks and got the rear plastic banged up. getting new ones tomorrow though
