    @primal-carnage Never used anything but the OEM looking silver levers to be honest. Keeping cables clean and well lubed will make the biggest difference. It's a messy job so wrap a rag around the oiler and another one round the other end of the cable but well worth it; even a brand new un-lubed OEM clutch cable is slightly stiff and feels like the clutch lever can't quite keep up with your fingers as you release it. And a cable which has been lubed will last over twice as long.

    For the clutch? You may have to mock fit an old front brake pipe and measure it properly after you’ve routed it ‘comfortably’…

    @primal-carnage
    Nah, I was on about the clocks themselves. If your Speedo and a mates (known good) speedo say the same, they’re probably good. More likely that a previous owner has put the wrong snail drive out of a different bike on yours…
    You want to look for a Yamaha with the same size spindle-bolt that has a 4 nut clamp on the right side. Xt’s and older Dt’s will probably be the same. Even some non 21inch wheels might use the same drive?…

    Fowlers will have the part number if you want to search for it…

    @primal-carnage I run that GPF301 gear lever and it fits straight on yes.

    Sticks out a bit more than the stock DTR lever but if you have a DTRe it actually clears the larger l/h engine cover very well.

    The mot guy put an advisory on my bike about the lights at tickover. Reckoned that the stator was buggered. I tried to explain to him but ‘he had one when younger’ and so was right 🙄

    @Hybrid_Theory01 there could well be some truth in that because Yamaha stopped matching engine/frame numbers on later models and I read that it happened in around 1996 when production of engines and frames were moved to separate factories.

    @Calum

    The last one is the ticket I’m thinking about. Though with a slightly oranger yellow 😜 the ‘dt200 in black’

    @HOTSHOT-III

    I was actually wanting a Ts 125 before I settled on an 88 Dtr 😳 I’m happy with my choice. Just wish I’d got a proper-running example rather than a messed with basket case! Oh well, choosy beggars, yada, yada! 🤪

    @mhbikesnbits 🤣 🤣 🤣 Reusuable? Sounds like they're better for the planet.

    Dude that YSS shock is lovely! I might have to sort myself out with one of those.

    @mhbikesnbits Has to be the right year though. 1988-96... Otherwise not compatible...

    @mhbikesnbits I am using a genuine one,old NOS if I recall correctly.I have made a modified backup from an XT600 (early model that has the clutch arm on the same side as the DT) was used but in excellent condition.

    @TBthegr81
    I just assumed you were UK based, hence the PJME suggestion. They’re good. I’ve brought a rebored cylinder that was done by a well known UK ‘reputable Tuner’ and it looked like dogshit...

    Notchy steering is well annoying! And yes, dangerous!...
