DT200WR restoration project pic heavy

NINJA

@Louis-James said in DT200wr finally got one:

She's home now. Better condition than I expected.

Runs sweet and it's all there.

See the progress as it goes..

Where did you get her from?

Did you not inspect the bike before buying her?

Looks pretty good overall, some work needed but no used bike is without their faults these days. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

Louis-DT-WR

@NINJA thanks, from Andover about 40miles away.. no they delivered it. With any vehicle sold on eBay, you can reject it if not as described.. in this case it was a lot better condition than I was hoping. Very original underneath...no butchered wiring either, tank it excellent condition.
Even both sets of wheels are mint. Just need cleaning.

NINJA

@Louis-James COOL so you got to give her the ole 'virtual inspection' then??? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

Looks like you got a good deal there bud and are now the proud owner of a super rare bike - congrats. :clapping_hands: :thumbs_up: :clapping_hands:

Jealous me? Not much. (lying) well done, looks good, have picked up another bike as well but too much to do and filled up new shed/ workshop already. Need to sell dt250 1976 , never floated my boat tbh, or build another shed

Louis-DT-WR

@NINJA thanks. oh yes the analyzing process through a screen haha. Yes it's one for the collection.. might get the Lanza next

Louis-DT-WR

@oldman you've got enough bikes already haha. Very good price this was.

If anyone has any spares let me know, the oil pump works and is in mint condition but I need the 2t tank and level sensor.

Here's some pics of the strip down today.
All bolts came out nicely without drilling any.

There are the before the deep cleaning process pics.

Looking good. And seeing how you work I can't wait to see the finished bike!

Louis-DT-WR

@Minia cheers mate... Stay tuned

MadGyver

Nice bike.
That was a fast disassembly.
I'll be watching this thread.....

Louis-DT-WR

Thanks. Took about 5 hrs with some cleaning in the process.. always careful to not round any bolts

Louis-DT-WR

The trick to make any project look good is attention to detail... including deep cleaning.

See how well these 25year old parts come up.

Here's the engine.. I am not painting the crankcases as they were bare from the factory,but I'll give a light polish before installing to frame.

Took ages to clean it to this standard.. especially around the sprocket, exhaust manifold and underneath..

I also sourced a 125re 2t bottle which I will use as I cannot find the original one.. the level sensor connector is the same, so hoping that will work. Also the oil pump is in good condition and the carburettor has the oil intake fitting. I will use clear hoses as always.

The side stand switch is missing but I have found the wires for it.. so I will fix this.
