Am i just unlucky or is anyone else sufferin from the glass crackin on this model ? tho i cant imagine how else it would crack other than a flyin stone !!
I got through the MOT with mines callum, but I think it's cause the place I go to are not a bunch of nob heads, that are often at main dealers purely looking for trade. £100 to get a new one from Yamaha as they don't do the lens seperate. Mines as got A nice lens shape to it where the bulb has heated it up!
Yeah. I've been using this place for years and they're pretty sound.
At the end of the day they know there is no business from me. I rock up on a tricked out DT that i've built myself. I'm hardly going to ask them to fix the MOT failures lol.
Do it myself thank you very much. All you've managed to accomplish is a 15 minute slot that you have to put me in at no cost.
Thanks for all your advice ppl , Ive had the bike 7 yrs now n in all that time its broke twice in the last year , i know im not over tightenin it as its only held in place by 2 posi screw bolts so not really and its a vertical crack on both ! might just be able to see them in pic but im no photographer lol . As to rarity i only just got the last one in time for previous MOT , think it was from a guy on ere near worksop not Norfe tho ! Think i paid £30 for it as the guy had bought it by mistake if i remember rightly A J Sutton wanted £90ish for a new one n that aint happenin ! Looks like im gonna be visitin the FOR SALE thread frequently ... DAVE
thanks energized but im sure theyre different in size n fitting mine is held to the brackets thru the fairing n thats it no beam adjusters or anything !!
the lens on my dtx measures 135mm horizontally n vertically its 95mm

Try a Polisport MMX they take 2 mins to fit and are only 40 quid new on ebay and are really good quality,you can get them in Yamaha Blue and Black. It will get you away till you find a standard one.
like most none standard there is only two bulbs so realy easy to wire up some times you may need to cut the old wires or plugs but easy done . maybe harder if you go for something with led.s
many thanks to all of your help guess i gotta get one as dtx headlights are rare as hens teeth :)
My only reservation is avin to cut o/e wiring to fit it , can get all connectors /wire from my factory so that at least aint a problem !!
