@Bananper Check all your lines and look for evidence of a leak, if it isn't from your master cylinder or hydraulic lines then dismount your brake caliper and check it over.

@2Stroke4Smoke I fitted Apico footrests, around £80 and angle grinded them to fit. Really simple to do.

I end up buying an aftermarket start motor off eBay for £65 brand new fixed the problem my old motor was seized up and unable to turn hope this helps

@me0u01c1 no way I’d pay that for a half hour job the first rebuild I did was on my dt almost exactly one year ago I’d be happy to walk you through step by step

@Minia Ditto

If you've got the time it's well worth getting the frame powdercoated, especially if you intend on using the bike extensively and want it last. Done properly a proper powdercoat should last 20 years. I'd have it shot blasted and powdercoated. Engine wise, easy enough to do yourself, just get the crank rebuilt by a specialist.

As an update for this thread and any one in future needing a similar service: Had the bike delivered by DMT couriers who are based in NI, but also do mainland stuff. Bike was collected and delivered to my door at 7AM next morning for £200 all in. Very pleased with the service - the van has a proper tail lift too which took away the headache of unloading. The fee for the boat alone wouldve cost me the same as this entire service so the price was unbeatable. In summary, DMT come highly recommended from myself.

Lol are you near Nottingham?

Guessing RE with 200R engine

@Irongamer727 Oil pump is driven directly off the crankshaft. So as long as the oil pump is up to the job.

I sold my spare Rotax 123 engine, 34mm Dellorto carb and an Arrow exhaust the other night. So there's some funds for new parts, this sexy beast arrived today;

@Calum howcome

@Calum Missed opportunity there bud!!!

Skim the head and barrel before you leave, it's the one thing that WILL let you down on a DTR, even if it's not visibly warped it will leak from the gasket, the surfaces need to be absolutely perfect.

Sorry, didn't see your reply, my bad! Can't comment on using until repair, personally would wait, can chain failure catastrophic.
