Nice bike it sounded like you hit neutral instead of second at 1:49 haha we all do it though o and what fuel mixture?

[DTNorthern]

@2694wr yup lol...missed shift....was trying to go from 2nd to 3rd but wasnt used to wearing riding boots and didnt actually shift...DOHHH....and i mix 32:1 which is great but a bit rich and causes me to foul plugs when i do slow trail riding and if i happen to stall out then i have to push start the bike or change the plug...when riding slow ill hold in the clutch and rev the bike up a bit to clean the plug off every now and then and that helps

@DTNorthern

your bike looks crap,couple of panels that look too big,not really modernized.

[DTNorthern]

@yamahait1 the suspension is a bit higher now so the plastics dont look so out of place but yes they do look a bit large...i had to put plastics from another bike because they dont make the proper plastics for 33 year old bikes anymore....and trust me ...if you saw this bike the way it was when i got it you wouldnt say it looks like crap....id like to see your 33 year old dirt bike....but luckily for me its my bike and i like it and youre opinion isnt important =)

I'm going to buy me one of these older motorcycles tomorrow, Im actually going vintage in my life because all this new school vehicles are just a mess now a days.

Did you change the springs in the forks and the monoshock? If so what did you get. I've been trying to upgrade springs in my '80 DT 175 with no luck.
