@Calum if your looking for secure storage I can take your dt off your hands and make sure it's ridden and not sat around gathering dust?

there are some companies that make the looms for the older dts I was thinking I should brought one but didn’t have the money to brought it at the time as I brought some other things when I brought my other bike

@irongamer727 radiator bled it had 3 big air bubbles in it took for a long ride and it was brilliant no over heating @Calum i spent some time tensioning the pv pulleys properly cleaned and re gapped the plug cleaned the power jet and it was great loved it the power comes on at 6 now instead of 7 truly appreciate your help and every one else’s thank you lads

Maybe @Calum should do monthly give always of dt parts at random

@ninja I agree with sgt joining this forum was the best thing I could have done for many reasons @Calum think of Haynes as a console and the forum as a pc lol

Just looked at the price and now I'm thinking my exhaust is fine

@Mightyman I seem to have fixed it just a case of some decent clamps but not ridden it yet so fingers crossed

@CYBER-NINJA 

It looks like I’ve been getting water in my stator but doesent seem to be the issues I’ll put a new gasket on it all the same another weird thing when I lock my rpm around 3k so I can have a strong idle it will run for about 30s then just turn off not a splutter or fade out it will just switch off

@yannikmeister well in all honesty my crank seals are probably due soon but it’s only water that causes this frustrating thing is there’s no obvious culprit

So I think I made one of these posts a while ago my dt would stop working when I were off-roading if I hit any type of puddle wet grass was usually fine I went out in a storm last night and soon as my bike hit a puddle it died took a while to start up and when it did it barely ran wouldn’t idle I could ride it so long as I stayed at a constant rpm any sudden changes and it would just die as quick as turning the key I figured all these problems would be fixed since all of my new wiring and connections but obviously not the video linked is the day after bike is fairly dry in the video bike is warmed up.

@Calum tbh all the dt pipes suffer they all rust in the exact place all the deps the big ones and the originals one thing I will say the original pipes are ridiculously over built they weigh a fair bit more than my 250s pipe but since my bike is dirt trim it kinda makes sense to have a thick pipe

@SpookDog

@kevb1967 I run the big one with a dep rear or atleast I did I’ve recently switched to a stock front not ridden it yet so not felt the difference seems to run better and sound better though I’d imagine by the design the big one is useful way up in the rev range but mine is restricted so I’ll probably see better power with the stock one or atleast that’s my train of thought and I’m guessing the dep is better for bottom or mid

@Calum the chrome is horrid on the deps imo I saw a vertically bran new one for sale few weeks back not a scratch on it except a huge chunk of plating had fell off no rust or anything

@SpookDog moar compression!! Will do 109 in 4th gear with that in then

@SpookDog I think he means the spacer widths

@SpookDog ive installed one and left one out can’t remember which bikes but the dt probably has one and I’m sure I tried one with and without on an am6 engine and it appeared to make no difference I don’t actually know what it’s for most people don’t install them.
