@Minia I don't think it's enough to go off the registration alone. Since that only indicates to when it was registered, not year of manufacture. VIN would be the best place to look if you're unsure. But I don't know the numbers.
So the next best place is to look at those photos.
Should be fairly obvious as to what model you got.
What you looking for?
Plenty about on the market.
Are you on about a DTR or a DTRE/X?
As a DTR exhaust won't fit the DTRE/X frame properly. And vice versa.
@NINJA You know what, I was thinking the exact same about that swing arm, but didn't want to say anything and sound stupid.
If that's a 700cc smoker SM, then that swing arm is definitely not up to the task of putting down that power. It'll flex.
Shock absorber looks inadequate too!
Definitely should have known to modify the valve, that's a well know thing on YPVS engines.
Yeah common problem. Powervalve needs to be modified at that overbore size.
@jamesdowning Yeah, the older models ran an independent 3 wire servo. Unlike the 5 wire ones on the later models.
Having a servo is well worth it. All benefits no cons.
@jamesdowning It's nothing to do with Age about having a powervalve on a DTR.
Since the LC's were fitted with YPVS Servos.
The earlier models were about proving you had the appropriate license to have one. The later models were restricted in other ways, but kept the servo.
@jamesdowning You sure it's not just the powervalve mate.
Turning the ignition on and off isn't going to dump any pressure.
This site has some good advice

@NINJA It looks like the general consensus is that you're changing the dampening and rebound rate, not the same as stiffness.
Resulting affects are, yes it'll be harder to compress, but the inverse is also true. It won't rebound as quick. Sounds a bit deadly if you ask me.
@NINJA I can't remember.
Genuinely, as bad as this might sound, sometimes I actually struggle to recognise dreams from real life.
I've sat there at times thinking of something as if it actually happened. Only to remember it was a dream. Mental mate.
@NINJA Did we discuss this on another thread??? And thicker oil doesn't affect stiffness. I distinctly remember @Jens-Eskildsen Saying something. Or someone like that.
I think, if you want stiffer suspension, then you need to change the springs.
@Irongamer727 Be alreet. I'm assuming you've been riding the bike and it's not been a problem
I remember going to the scrap yard after my DT got nicked and grabbed any random fron wheel that looked like a match. Never had a problem.
Why you running a copper head gasket? They still need sealant IIRC.
Just use genuine or Athena head gasket.
Easiest way is to pour the oil into a measuring jug and see how much came out.
