theyre stainless ones matey, exact same size and length as the original yamaha items though, i made sure of that.
bottom of the engine isnt as clean as the top yet, i got bored today though, so ill start cleaning again another day, using turps makes the dirt alot easier to wipe off, still takes time and patience though
im considering getting one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-GENUINE-YAMAHA-DT125RE-DT125X-DT125-DT-ENGINE-SKID-PLATE-1D0W074600PC-/380598528740?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item589d70aae4
I have stripped the manifold intake today and put it back with some clear silocone and I put my needle back to where it was, so tomorrow I will see if it has worked, I think I might of not been getting a good seal between the reed block and the rubber manifold. But who knows.
