    Hi All

    Does anyone know the part number of the cable clamp band on the rhs fork bottom? I can't find it on the fiches on Fowlers.

  • Position of Yamaha decal on rear fender
    A Alastair

    Anorak question. Has anyone got a picture showing the exact placement of the Yamaha decal on the rear fender of a 99 DT?

    Thanks

    Hi

    I bought it from a bloke that brings them in. As long as you have the Nova number, you get insurance on the frame no, get an MOT, fill out form V55/5 and you'll get your registration. Piece of cake.

  • Removing spray paint from plastics
    A Alastair

    You could try something called Modelstrip. Available from many model shops, it strips paint off plastic models without damaging the plastic. Obviously test a small area first. Brake fluid will whiten the plastic. Bear in mind they were likely sprayed because they were worn out.

    As someone else said, it would likely be cheaper and better just to buy new. I bought a new rear fender for £20 from Fowlers. Cheap as chips.

    Just taken it out for a test ride to make sure she is ready for MOT. Wish I was 17 again. Lovely fun bike.

  • Dt125r 2000 fork bushes
    A Alastair

    Cough **** Approx £80 per stanchion including VAT. Upper bushes approx £10 each including VAT. By the time all seals and oil are replaced we will be at something like £250. If it was a Honda we'd have just replaced the bushes and have been at £120 all in. Obviously no labour in that as we're doing it ourselves.

  • Dt125r 2000 fork bushes
    A Alastair

    Thanks gents. Had a chat with both Fowlers and local Yamaha dealer. Upshot is that lower bushes are not available, unlike Honda who supply such things, do 2 new fork stanchions it has had to be. Not too expensive thankfully...

    Yes, a French bike. Tried looking for a decent UK bike but there was nothing to be found. We're giving it a thorough check over then off for MOT and UK registration.

    My own bikes look more like this:

    I've also got an MTX80R in addition to the Fireblade and NS400.

    Thanks for the welcome gents. Thus is the bike. It is in pretty good shape, just sorting out the inevitable issues with a 17 year old bike.

    A Alastair

    Hi

    Does anyone know where you can get the lower fork bushes for a 2000 DT? Looking at Fowler fichr it seems only the upper bush is sold with the lower coming as part of the fork leg

    Morning All

    Just bought a DT for my son. We're slowly going through it to make it as nice as we can. I have a long history with 2 strokes currently running an NS400 and an MTX80
