@Burridge I just love that 'Slinky' pipe you've got on there dude!!!

You mean the crazy croissant?? haha thanks man, it sounds great and gives really good power, I was grinning ear to ear the first time I rode it with it on. Just got to source some flexible pipe to link it to the dep can now as it blew a hole in the rubber grommet that was previously mating the 2!!

I may be very biased but my dream DT is my own would still love to do a supermoto conversion on it though. And the twin can setup on that does look cool

Had a full tank of this when I bought my SYM Jet when I was 16, smelt like strawberries when I pulled the lid off the tank but as said; like normal 2 stroke when it was burned. Seems like abit of a shoddy marketing strategy to me!

Mine does this, a sticky clutch, and my dads Yanaha Fazer 600 did it too, with the Fazer he just put it in first, held the clutch in and rocked it back and fourth until it freed up. Was a pretty simple fix. But harder with my DT as it has 1 cylinder instead of 4, doing the same method turns the engine over, it'll still work but take abit longer. If I haven't ridden mine for abit I just get the revs up abit while in the garden before slowly releasing the clutch

@ConnorDTR do you have a picture matey? I'm still debating what to do to it but I'll probably do something like that. And I think they're called Bridgestone trail wings or trail riders or something, the standard tyres that come with the bike from new:)

@MIGHTYMAN that's true, he clearly knows what he's doing when it comes to welding, just can't think why it would fit so badly

@MIGHTYMAN Nope:( in hindsight I should have done to be honest, but it's been a good few months now since I got it's it's abit late really. I'm gonna look at flexible metal piping to bridge the gap or something like.
Apart from the fitting issue with that and the bracket that bolts to the frame being way out in happy with the pipe, I know what you're saying though, I just guess that he's using a different model dt to make the pipes on, and metal distorts when it's welded too?

The head alone won't transform the bike, I noticed some difference when I put a 3MB head on mine but not a huge amount, engine was bone stock 2.7k miles on it when I put it on so I knew there wasn't anything holding it back in terms of engine health. Like Calum said it'll need supporting mods. After exhaust I now need some better reeds and upgraded cdi then I'll notice more punch.
