£95 for a Dt engine?

[Irongamer727]

So I want to kickstart converse my dtx. Found a Dtr engine with a seized 6th gear for roughly £95. Everything else seems to be in full working order. Worth it?

[declan]

@irongamer727 you damn right it is even just the engine casings are worth that

[finnerz89]

The kickstart conversion could cost you the most part of £95 so I'd go for it!

[Irongamer727]

Ye, a kickstart is my final goal for this winter's "overhaul"

[finnerz89]

@irongamer727 easy enough to do once you've got all the bits!
Just make sure you get the clutch all lined up properly

[Irongamer727]

It's a 2003 dt engine. Surely the kick should fit without any hassle?

[Calum]

@irongamer727 Yeah that's fine

[Irongamer727]

@calum what do you think about using an impact wrench to unbolt the clutch? And then fastening it again with some locktight applied. It's electric so I highly doubt it will break anything.

[Calum]

@irongamer727 Just use the tool, it's like £10 and works on different engines.

[finnerz89]

Yeah I got one from Amazon, it's worked on 3 different bikes so far. Bit of loctite won't hurt of course, I always use a bit on stuff like that

[declan]

@irongamer727 I have an electric impact gun and it swill snap bolts like butter if your not careful

[Irongamer727]

@declan ain't any expensive stuff. Doubt it will harm the M12 threads

[terry.tz]

impact guns don't break bolts people do

sorry had to and its true
