I meant, are they for you DT or are they for another project?

@SpookDog Gates look ace, very well made
I was cycling the other day, a wasp got stuck underneath my helmet and stung me about 6 times in the time it took me to stop and take my helmet off and tread on the flying yobbo. So assuming I can locate where they hang out, I'd be most grateful if you don't use up all the Easy Start

PS They stayed inflated as well! It’s a handy technique I found on YouTube. I just refined it a little

Wicked resource! But they only start at .30
I need a .25
.225 are the most common Dtr jetwrote on 5 Aug 2023, 20:03 last edited by markus.w 8 May 2023, 21:05@SpookDog try KMT products limited. British made jets by a Northamptonshire company. Top quality too. Unlike the Chinese copies and they start at .10.

Hi guys sorry Abit off topic here
Just picked up a dtr from my mate, it had the ktm style front light on it, the wires are
Green = Ground
White = High beam
Blue = Low beam
Brown = SidelightI can get sidelight working when ignition key is turned and also the normal beam headlight but the switch doesn’t do anything, the wires have previously been cut, I’m just wondering if anyone has a picture of the wiring colours for headlight and the switch the switch looks like a Newer 2003+ one
I’ll put some pictures up if it lets me
Cheers !

Here is the wires for ktm style headlight what ones would I connect for it all to work above is the wires that’s at the front of the bike
Not use to all this cut wires but I don’t want to get a new loom just for 4 wires for headlight lol -

I don’t have any experience of elecy start lumps. So I want to remove the flywheel and starter clutch-ring stuff and see how it sounds without all that gumpf.
There’s no (up/down) movement in the crankshaft apart from a bit of side to side, which I can’t say I remember ever seeing before. I don’t know if that’s normal?… -

Crankshaft? Or Connecting rod?
There should be some side float, no up/down movement.
The starter bendix will make some noise, but otherwise it should be silent.

I meant crank movement, only the tiniest bit
…Bendix? Sounds like something Uri Geller would do in the bedroom!
…While I’ve gotten some free time I’m gonna tackle the water pump seal on the dtr. I’ve been meaning to for a while now. The oil has an opaque milky look to it where it’s been emulsified with the coolant.
I need the new seal I have for the tizzer now though. Luckily I’ve got a spare clutch casing with good pump seal, ect… -

Even for the gearbox breather tube. There are loads of other guides and clips missing from my bike. I would really like to know where they all go so as I can try and replace them…
Anyone got ideas of how to find them out , short of doing a walk around a totally standard survivor bike?… -

Are they not itemised on the exploading diagrams?

Buttery gearchanges now, especially since oiling the clutch cable as well. Feels like an even newer, different bike! Feels like the rolling resistance is better as well, or I’m imagining it! Ever way it’s a plus

When I fitted the new clutch casing I omitted the oil pump. I never realised that the bottom screw bolt isn’t blind like the top one. It goes straight through to the gearbox for some reason. Ended up with a boot and a back tyre/disc full of oil. Won’t make that mistake again … -

Engine's okay though? Just leaking gearbox oil through the bolt hole! Doh!

Hi guys
Off the top of your head what psi are you getting on compression test?
Thank you! -

I gather it’s different if you have the power valve pinned open or not. I don’t think that there is a definitive standard to gauge a ‘normal’ from…

I just got 140PSI on my Cagiva raptor. Did it on Sunday purely out of interest.
But this engine is worn and I'm just in the middle of a rebuild as we speak.
That said, 140PSI is good for a two smoke.
