****ing hell you rode 6 miles in first gear?!?! Our DT engines deserve a medal lol. It makes me cringe riding in first gear for any more than 10 seconds, let alone 6 miles!

your 2nd photo reminded me of a man in a vest holding a spliff trying to sell me a dt125. he told me " This is one of the ****ing rare models mate, its got the early engine numbers 1n23456, its worth a ****ing mint mate id guess about 4 grand if it has an mot ticket"

He also told me he used a walkers crisp box to make a head gasket.

I declined the purchase!


Can you ride at canada heights? do they do practise days etc? now ive got the yz im gonna be going around loads of places.

shows the need to always carry a pair of what I call monkeygrips/pliers ? or some sort adjustable of clamp that can tighten on to anything ...to at least get it in to second gear

Cheers for that mate. Will probably do that and get the membership. Looking at going to Golding Barns, Chruchills, Dunstable, one in crawley/ east grinstead and also a friend is going across to one in lewis on saturday. I went and saw british championsips as a kid at canada heights. Sounds silly maybe but would feel like a boss if i got to ride around it. Was my first and only motocross event and i was in total awe! haha!

Maybe we'll get a group together then. My friend is now going to churchill / mill lane track on saturday instead. I'm going to strip and clean and set up the yz carb in the week and hopefully go for a ride next sunday. If anyone is intereste to meet, pm me and ill tell you where we'll be.

Back to topic, how much hassle is it going to be to fix that then? is the shaft damaged or is all the damage to the lever?
