@britshgigolo Speak to Paul Ritson at SFX wheels, he may be able to advise you???

@britshgigolo make sure that you get the right width bearings as the original are narrower than the typical ones for the DT's diameter 🙂

@britshgigolo I never leave my bike without the disc lock, even as I pop into the shops. Although when I fill up for petrol I guess I don't use the lock but rarely use the steering lock if at all.

As far as insurance goes, it does have a steering lock, the theives broke it when they stole the bike. Can't see how they can disprove that.

All I'm saying is, I wouldn't pretend to think the steering lock does anything. A £20 disc lock takes just as long to engage and will be a much better deterent.

@Calum ty kind sir thats a great help will get them ordered many thanks

You will need the rev gauge spindle as well. The re's don't measure rpm. Personally would leave kmh, more JDM.

just thought sombody wound of know some on ebay that fits other bikes for cheap as it a spare carb but looks like got to order original one now but thanks for the links

@britshgigolo ah okay, thought I'de been doing it wrong this whole time for a second there!

@britshgigolo It could just be well worn it's service limit.

I'd take it to an engineering firm to have it examined, make sure it's within tolerance.

If you really want to learn more about it then I recommend reading Graham Bell's Two Stroke Performance Tuning. Very good book and will explain a lot.

You do not need any specific diode, just enter 1A schottky diode, chosse a reasonable voltage and take the cheapest (3A etc. is also fine).To make the build more compact you can also use any other ground source eg from the high beam indicator:

@CYBER-NINJA cheers mate

finally got the brakes done back and front new discs pads and hoses and new fluid seems so much better than they were thats for sure made me relise how bad they were but dont think it helped that the back caliper was sezied on the sliding pin so caliper was not moving strange that the person who had the bike before had done lots of work on the bike before has had new pistons and seals in the brake but forgot to grease the sliding pins just goes to show you can never trust all the paper work for work done if its not been done properly

ok ty calum for all the helpfull infomation its a great help

@Calum ty mate and the old battery was holding charge but replaced to make sure

yes ty got it done wife pick up a clutch cable from local shop on way home from work it not a great one as as buy the same cable on ebay for £7 but still have othr one coming that i ordered so no big problem it did slide back in and the seal seems to be holding and not leaking oil so will have a spare but at least its back on the road again thanks for all the help

ty for the speedy reply and help

@britshgigolo I did post some details and pics on a thread on here, but for the life of me I can't remember or find which one it was? I am still having tech issues whilst I'm stuck with this crappy tablet ATM and posting pics is a problem. As I'm in the process of rebuilding my PC, which sadly I keep getting pulled away from. I'll try to get some up most likely as a for sale thread. 😉
