Lions smart, is it up to the task though...

It's a carb, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I don't run stock carbs on my bikes.

Yeah not convinced about cheapest anything when it comes to my life in the hands of a motorbike lol.

Just save up and do it properly would be my advice.

Since the brakes on the DTR are pathetic, I'd recommend getting the full setup.

What no that's a load of rubbish.

It's just a carb, they clearly are not interested in helping you. You can do what you like, I don't know much about the lectron carb but if you are that interested in one just buy it and fit it.

@jonne123 No? The rear carrier might be fine. I am sure someone with a more helpful answer will be along. But you want the front forks or an adaptor plate for the brake.

As say, make sure the bearings are correct. They are an odd size and are expensive, that's how you know you are in the right ball park.

The rod should have float.

The generator seal can be replaced, but not rhe clutch side. That sits behind the bearing and is fitted prior to installation of the bearing if memory serves me correctly.

Yes you will need the forks and rear brake carrier if memory serves me correctly.

Can't say that I have. But I have never needed a carb being rebuilt before.

@Walney-Reptiles wha? Why not. That doesn't sound right.

Joys of owning a bike owned by 12 year olds compared to mature owners

This has come such a long way since when you bought it. Just looking at page one. And you've done it in such a short space of time. Is a fair ol achievement yo yourself!!!

Yes that is looking so smart!

Oh sweet bud. Sounds very expensive, but if its a job worth doing it's worth doing right.

@Calum Okay, that's looking sweet now.

IF you are experiencing problems.

You may need to clear your browsers cache as some things have changed. If the colours look off etc.

This will vary from machine to machine.

Mobile site is broken I will investigate...

Right, sorry if you've been trying to access the site over the last 24 hours.

@Arite Procurred us some new hardware witht 4X the RAM. Which was one of the reasons the sites been unstable as of late.

So I've done a complete tear down and rebuild of the server over the last 24 hours and it should be back up and running now.

Any problems let me know. I tried to install the Imgur plugin but that like broke everything. So for now there is no way to upload images.

I'll look at sorting that out in the future.

@DTR-NSR Cool, hit the geezer up! I didn't know it was a thing.

My DT was stolen and ramped. Forks bent, wheels bent, bearings in the head tube was fine. They are robust enough. Obviously Taper has its advantages.

Not sure why it went down. But had to go over and fix it which I can't really do until the weekends due to work commitments.

Took the opportunity to upgrade and patch the software anyhow.

@Walney-Reptiles Not without changing the the yokes/bearing cup.

I done it cause I fitted USDs. But otherwise, no. Or I'm sure it could be done, but what would be the point?

@Walney-Reptiles There are upgradable bearings?
