    @SpookDog thank you for the advice lad. The dude is selling the shock because he managed to ride it so hard that it broke in half lol.

    If you check the pipe by where your horn is they’ll be a part number, post it on here for some comparisons. It could be a unique part to Swiss models.

    You’re right. The recessed ones might be stretch bolts, hence the price. If they are you’re supposed to replace them each time…

    @Vcelicka The handling on my DTR is fricken superb! I've had these tyres for ~10 years and they've been spot on. Uhhmm, I'd have to check but I'm not going into the garage now. I think it's 110 on the front. But again, I'm running different wheel/fork setup so the spacing is all different. Handles a dream though.

    The engine stops when the connection is made, ignition is earthed. I don’t understand what your problem is?
    If you disconnect the kill switch the bike will still run…
    If you disconnect the ignition key block connector the bike will run but have no lights…
    Just fit the button and try it…

    Well I run RS 125 rear calipers on my stock DTRE master cylinder and the brakes are ace.

    On the front I swapped out the mastercylinder with something more appropriate, for said reasons....

    Mine was like it when I first sussed out it was removable. It was caked in what looked like cement dust!
    I’m glad you got it running sweet again 😜

    @bradt The system will incur a known internal resistence with itself, known as impedence. This can be measured. It should fall within a tolerable range, as described by the technical specification of the item. Compare your component against this documentation to ensure the item is within tolerance.

    Chances are, if it is, then the item is not faulty.

    On my first DT after several days of trying to remove the bolt, I eventually got it to budge by doing a continuous heat cycle on it, and going at it with a club hammer and drift. When you thinks it got to be hot enough by now...give it another couple of minutes with the blow torch.

    It'll need ally welding if you have the pieces, otherwise you'll have to get another one.

    Doubtful, but an adapter shouldn't be too hard to make. Just make sure you centralise the caliper over the disc.

    @oldman well it looked 40 years old and was visually worn out looked well used if I tried to ride the bike to set off I’d have to redline and ride the clutch then soon as I shift out of 2nd the bike would lose all power and come to a stop then would bog and stutter it seems better with the carb on the garden not tested the street yet

    Why not make adaptor/converter loom, between the cdi and the main loom, so you can connect everything up without molesting either part.

    Snorkel out flat power curve?

    Removing the snorkel affects the jetting, so jet accordingly. It can also decrese the low end a bit, as theres not much velocity through the carb when you whack the throttle open at low speed.
    IMO the airbox seems pretty restrictive, so removing the snorkel adds tons of air.

    You can be both rich and lean, as in lean in the midrange, and rich on the mainjet, or the other way around.

    Is the servo disconnected?
    They can act up aswell due to corrosion and such.
