well my dt has been slowly loosing coolent so i took it into the workshop in college and put a pressure tester on the cooling system and then i started my engine and the pressure slowly went up :/ but this time im doing it in college with the tutors to help me so i shouldnt get it wrong

these bikes are a joke ! yet still told their reliable! lol theres no way callu is deffo wrong these have got to be the most unreliable bikes in history! good luck anyway mate ! dont fo what i did and spend £2500 on it then realise you can do your big test and get a 600 and insure it for the same money LOOL
They're not unreliable it's just some people have bad luck! Yamaha must have done something right with them to manufacture them for 22+ years, I've not even rode mine yet but that's due to the guy who had it before making a complete mess of the bike!

Yeah thats just unlucky mate.
They take a very good beatin mate. But i paid good money for my dt and looked at 4 before i bought my one. I looked at others that were cheaper and they have just not been looked after. And thats what its all about.
At the end of the day mate if you put your bike back to how it should be. Grease everything up. Use decent oils. That bike will last you a good length of time. Its just important yo remember that piston and rings IS JUST MAINTENANCE ON TWO STROKES. Its considered no less than an oil change on a four stroke. If you change the piston and rings every 5K miles you will 9/10 never have to mess about with a rebore. It's a half day job if that. And once you've done it you're good to go.
If you mess around derestricting the bike and don't increase the maintenance then just expect it to fail. You don't get something for nothing.
yeh well mines not missed a beat yet besides the head gasket and yet she still likes to go but soon as i get £12 ill order a new gasket

Well half of it isn't luck, its 17 year olds and people with no skills working on them, cocking it up rushing to ride it, then finding out they've bodged it.
Like my wiring loom, some tit has messed it up good and proper, rather than using wire connectors, they just exposed them and then tied them together with duct tape. :|
And broke, you should have just bought a new engine. Yours is a racing engine, so the previous owner reckons, so it isn't going to be reliable on a day to day basis. :| Mine hasn't skipped a beat once, but the top speed is 50MPH. Soon that'll be fixed, the bikes in bits right now getting a rebuild. Engine won't be touched though, will clean the carbon off the exhaust port, seeing as I had been riding it with a blocked up silencer, so its built up on the port. And I'll probably buy a new DEP silencer soon. Then with a bit of luck, the 50MPH top speed will change.
Also, my coolant hasn't changed in about 500-700 miles.
biggest reason for the head gasket leaking is people not torquin and RE-TOURQING the cylinder base & head nuts after running a re built engine plain and simple
once the engine is rebuilt the engine fastners have to be torqued to a spec then once the engine has been run and done a few heat cycles all the parts move with thermal expantion and cooling this can loosen fastners
it states in the manual on all bikes to re check all fastners after the initial running
like most people they just expect they no every thing and jump in feet 1st on maintenance
and most of the time cause them selfs more hassle than good plain and simple
sounds like it could do with a skim too bud,make sure its right
