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.

Finally found a KLX 250 for a good price, also came with super moto wheels. Fitted new tyres, c&s, rebuilt brakes, full service, few mods so far, valve clearance checked, manual cam chain tensioner to fit and counter shaft (sprocket) oil seal to change then it's done (almost)
Still riding the red dt and the dtmx, though they will be put away for winter.

My bike refused to start Sunday, tested coil (non original) and no resistance on secondary coil, swapped it for spare genuine coil expecting fix but still no spark. Checked side stand switch that was ok, checked kill switch and duff connection. Fixed that and all good. When bike was rebuilt a couple of years ago had intermittent fault where bike cut out, traced that to poor earth (corroded in loom) around coil area . Ran a new earth from there direct to battery. If you find my rebuild thread it's described in there, removed loom and tested resistance of cables and found it.

I have a Dep full system on my red Dt, and it's still like new. I am anal in maintaining it though, mainly because I knew it was flaky finish to start with. Not a cheap replacement so you would think they could at least build in some resilience to the finish. Does liven up the engine though.

Then ask them

@jonne123 all the info you want is already on the site. Take some time to search for it and it's all there buddy

Save your money and buy a 250 in the first place

I can do French though!

@jonne123 absolutely, couldn't agree more!

Forget the picture, cant get it uploaded, but think bike in middle of countryside with no one around

Do I chase them though, would like info re key for dtmx helmet lock. Sold the dt250mx last week and have another bike up for sale, looking at buying 250 4t dual sport, was thinking of klx250 maybe? No longer sold here but was even thinking of buying new! Here's a pic of the Meon Valley last night, followed an e type Jag down the A272 from Petersfield to Loomies, smoked as much as my bike!
