EXC is a good fun bike, tried one and was looking for one before I got my gasgas 250. Unfortunately people either wouldn't get back to me or would say "Sure come see it on Friday" then phone me up on the day and go "Sorry just sold it". It's very frustrating when this kind of thing happens. Either way ended up with the GasGas and I'm happy with it 🙂

Thanks for help guys. Did 4 or 5 wheelies today at first gear. Only a 3 or 4 inches few seconds 🤘🤘. Figured out need to rev it up up to the red and it worked . Will need loads of practice on dry road. So excited lol

@Mightyman HTC had previously mentioned they planned to unveil the Vive 2 at CES this January but they then announced they won't be. A vive 2 is in the works, but we don't know what it's going to offer in difference. Right now it is convincing that it will be wireless and the resolution of each lense will be upgraded.

welcome aboard

Cheers Buddy !

@CYBER-NINJA Well not a motorbike at least, otherwise yeah plenty of "riding"

Welcome friend! Hope you enjoy your stay and as folks have said, get some pictures up 🙂

hi mate i got mine as a french inport and was in good condition and all seems fine you will have to get it insured on vin number only before you can regester it but make sure it got a nova registrastion number as you will need this too mine has started to rattle on the top end so think it going to need new piston and rings at some stage but thats the joys with these bikes

Ahh nice mate.

You gotta move on. Variety is the spice.

Looks good though

Thanks for the replys. Actually do have a manual and also managed to cure starting problem. It was a poor connection in one the connector blocks hidden away amongst a tangle of insulation tape. Thanks for the help though.

That is a funny video. Everybody must of fallen of a couple of times like that haha, I've had a couple off-road

I was literally going to say mce, but that was a long time ago

Will a 1989 3MB head fit the 3MB barrel of my 2000 dt?

Thanks for that mate! I'll go in and ask them as ones not far from me !

Lol. Premix ratio for a DT, it does not need a racey mixture. The standard Oil pump is about 45-50:1 ?

I ragged mine and found 35:1 to be adequate in the end, I only just managed to briefly heat sieze, with little damage with the oil pump fitted a time ago, and that was flat out for 4 miles! The later 3RM pumps are pretty good, the older design were ones people had issues with.

Never had a problem with Athena gaskets. They are used on my Starlet necessary when trippling the power output of the old engine.

Sounds like either not fitting correctly, or head and barrel not skimmed properly.

Fitting means retorquing after running the temperatures.

@Darty The sad fact about all this is such a wonderful bike, lovingly built and very well restored, will hit the scrapheap well before it's time. And once the dust has settled, I'm sure that the outcome of all this will be valuable experience and a hard lesson learned by @Biker_123. As I'm sure from now on he will vet any potential buyers and protect himself much more in the future!!! 😉

Shouldn't really need a high res pic for your display picture! 😁

On a serious note though (last post also serious mind) I'd send that thing back. It's clearly been sat in his toilet for the last year or so. If it's going anywhere near your engine you want bits that aren't half dead from the get go 🙅
