Not sure whether to do this or not, but seeing loads of people with wr450 forks on here is making want to get some lol.

Do they actually make any real difference to the handling of the bike though, especially off roading?

And are there any better rear shocks you can get for the dt, going over really bumpy sections the back ends all over the place lol.

if you like your off road then you wont belive the difference biggrin multi-adjustable set up is spot on. dont know about rear shocks,but one off a dt 200 r will fit and is multi-adjustable. its just finding one hmm

If I keep the dt any longer I think I'm gonna have to do it, just not sure whether I might be better off in the long run to get a wr200 or similar, probably get a bit for the dt with them being learner legal and everything.

DT200 is fairly quick but the WR is a different engine in many ways and designed for higher performance ,forks are usd etc . I borrowed a 2011 Honda CRF250X when my son was over in June and the DT was just as quick but a lot softer on the suspension , brakes were good on the Honda though. I much preferred the 2 stroke power delivery on the loose gravel tracks out here . Your CRM250 should have been quick enough, maybe it was out of tune .

If you have passed your test buy this one , I have a DT200 and the WR200 is even better handling and power but very rare  , apparently an FMF system really gets them going   http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-WR200-/251137643931?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item3a78f8559b

I want something a bit more mental now, gonna have the car on the road soon so reliability isn't really a problem either. How quick are the DT200's? I had a CRM250 a while back but that was pretty disappointing for a 250 tbh, did handle well though. Also depends how much I can get for my dt, around a grand would be nice.
