Welcome to the forum. As Cal says, im sure we can work out the year from photos and engine numbers etc. Just dont show us any more photos of Citroens or dirty 4 strokes

@Calum I know the owner of DEP from years ago when we used to race mx, and then when I was deciding what to do in Japan that was a good choice as I got backinto MX here. Thanks for the help.

That's exactly what i was thinking tbh. Problem is the only panels i have got is the front mudguard so can't really repair any

@wonkbreath Hi - welcome to the club.

Hi there welcome. Sounds like you have one very lucky son! I can't say I know much about the liggton ring. However it is all outlined in the Haynes manual!

Hi welcome. It's a good commuting motor to have to be fair. I commuted on mine fore years. Solid bikes. It will always be cheaper to spend the money and get something in crisp condition. Else you will be chasing no end of problems grabbong taxis to work and having to fix the bike. Spend the money and get something in decent condition. There isn't a log that can go wrong provided the maintenance is kept up with.

@CYBER-NINJA Thanks man!!

@MIGHTYMAN You can happily shift all day long without the clutch on the DT and crossers. You only use the clutch at the start, then most corners to keep the revs. Shifting isn't necessarily what you use the clutch for in MX. I ran the DT for months without a clutch cable. Doesn't harm the box.

@Dt-r_Bradders Sound man! yeh check out @chalkey46's YZ build. Got me wanting a 2001' on rear end instead, love a bit of extra alloy

There used to be a chap called deeteemx. If he didn't have your part then no one. I don't think he transitioned over to this site though. What parts were you after

@Biker_123 I've heard of them @mad73 Thanks for the offer, but It was really just an idea. For now XP

Welcome m8

Just an update come start of the month she is getting new clutch as that's forever needing slipping, new top end, new brakes and a tail tidy!! Except for top end I'm attempting the rest meself

The Fanny hammer swapped it for a kwaki

@Minia That is a lovely bike, great to see!

Remember AndyYam? It wasn't as simple as that. He got it back but it took ages. Went through small claims court.

@Calum I seen them on adrenalinpedstop and your right they look just as good !

Yo, sounds like a nice tight DT now. With regards to Reed modification, if you run the 170 kit and you plan to ride it quite hard more often than not, then some Boyesen Reeds may be beneficial. The standard Reeds might start to flutter at very high RPM runs. But for dicking about and legal riding Standard intake setup is actually ideal. Again, running Pre-Mix for an everyday motor is not ideal. And low RPM is lost abit if you want to have a safe high RPM ratio, I find. I always go a little rich. The standard Oil pump is up to it even for the 170 or the 200. But if your a racer, I would defiantly go Pre-Mix, take it all off, plug it off, and never go back. Love to see some pics

And as a young 69 year old I can confirm that the advice these lads have on here is top shop I got my first DT just over two years ago and fond the info helped me no end and not sure if I would have carried on with it if I hadn't had them there to help out , enjoy

Hi welcome, Be careful when you buy a battered dt that you don't get a ringer. They are very prone to being stolen and as such there are a lot of ringers out there. They were all built to copy the style of motocross of their era, so it will just be personal taste. If you love your yz then perhaps stick to a similar year dt. When they get that old though they tend to be worse for wear. Fear not as parts are readily available and fairly cheap. Any problems then throwing in the relevant sections and we'll help where we can
