Still waiting for the wheels as you can see, exhaust almost finished, but did fit some graphics, comments welcome

Get a yz frame

Fitted the exhaust, and the bodywork first fit. Ordered missing original bolts, should be my last order hopefully. All panels new but r/h panel over exhaust a bit scratched. Need to try and polish out. Stickers next!

There you go

Pictures in the sun in all its shiny glory, and a picture of the twins together

Engine completed and awaiting return of frame from powder coaters then down to serious work. Have most of parts now bar one panel, c&s, brake lines/pads, master cylinder/calipers rebuild kits, etc etc................

Received the final graphic in the post this morning, can say the 88 is complete (for now!)

Taken for mot, first time on the road following rebuild, all ok, no advisories. Oil seal on power valve letting by, have a new one already so just that to do and road tax

Decals to do as well, originals.!

Wheels on and everything remitted,rear brake bled and c&s fitted all good (at last) Maybe down for mot next week if I have time.

There you go https://dt125r.co.uk/assets/uploads/files/1584371445765-sam_4000_copy_808x540.jpg

Good luck!!

Try csmnl, postage a bummer though

Drain it, clean it, replace hose and hose clamps and check reservoir for cracks. As Calum says unusual, not under any pressure as such. Repro reservoirs dirt cheap.

I use tkc 80s, right balance of grip on and off road for me, too off road biased for some but served me well

Should be a copper sealing washer on bolt, never had a problem removing bolts, all early bikes pre1990. Never say never though.

He definitely had ability deficit syndrome. Really wanted to ask him about abs and traction control, guess that's not going to save you from stupidity.

I bought a cheap bandit last year and have been slowly improving it. Running a bit rough over the extended lockdown so went for a casual ride on the motorway and back through the meon valley. Used back lanes mainly and speed low, new tyres, when 2 guys on Newish litre bikes came up behind quickly. Approaching a bend (and it was just a lane), both overtook. Can you guess the outcome?...
As I rounded the corner one guy had come off on his sparkly big bike, big cloud of dust but he was uninjured. Be aware there's a lot of shit on the roads where traffic is much reduced, my own risk analysis was they were going too fast even if the roads were good. He was a tool, in his late fifties so should no better, fat c*** could have had me off too.

As far as I am aware only one drive pulley, all mine early models.

My ma is in a care home so praying it doesn't get in there, sorry for your loss Calum, never thought anything like this would ever hsppen
