@andrewj1680 Has the flywheel been modified?
Some people lighten the flywheel, but if it's not harmonically balanced you'll know.
Was this the one with the engine not balanceD?

@calum the flywheel is standard yes its the same bike that i thought the balance shaft was out on but when i stripped it out found it was where someone had glued the water propellor and must of put the clutch cover back on whilst wet the glue has stuck to the oil baffle plate which had then bent it on start up. When running there is no vibration up through the frame now like before however you still know about it if you take it over 60

@andrewj1680 Was this the problem then mate?
-
It was yes i changed the swingarm and it rides like a new bike i have now decided to change the tyres for something more road friendly as you can feel and hear the drag they have on road. Thankful for the comments it pushed me into looking further into it

Gotten to the point i hate riding it so going up for sale it looks the part but has to be the worst dt ive ever ridden i just cant put my finger on why, it seems to have a nasty speed wobble at around 60mph and i dont like the idea someone else rebuilt it so time to let it go@andrewj1680 said in Just about to list on ebay:

From what I can remember it was a 3PY full power Italian import and it was originally Black. It didnt have that pipe and the engine covers where grey and not silver like they are now when I seen it last all put back together.

@andrewj1680 The bike also looks like it's been lowered, which would also change the bikes handling and ride quality, ergo making the back end feel sluggish.
Have you lowered it dude???
-
Either the linkage or "dog bones" or maybe even a shorter shock.
My TDR is like that and i think the shock might be smaller than a DTR one.

@nottsbiker Swapping the dog bones for longer one's to lower it, is the simplest mod. Hard to tell from the pics, but the bikes arse sure looks a lot lower than stock. Maybe it's been twerking a lot??? LOL

Just spotted the WR bits in the background too lol

Bottom bush had gone on it he said, that would make it sag if it had lots of play. The size of the rear tyre also ads to the height in the pic I think.
