mutiny

so against my better judgment i went and brought myself a 87 yamaha dt175 . paid a bit more than i would have liked but im inpatient and didnt want to wait. bit of a noob when it comes to motor bikes, grew up around em as my fathers a bit of a bike fiend but never really got into em myself.

shes in pretty good nick and has had very little use since its rebuild 3 years ago. last owner "semi restored" it. guess one mans opinion of that differs to others.

anyway here she is in all her glory. if anyone knows anything about em would be stoked to have a yarn

saw that h van pottering around marahau on new years day, fuckin lush

i know the owner of that 510, will try get some better pics

cant really shed much light but all the b1600s i had were super sloppy but after awhile ya get the knack of it and shit super smooth

youll get over the ratios soon enough anyway and wanna chuck in a 626 5 speed, bolts straight in

wore through the gear box? where was the gearbox cross member? tall tale

i did a radiator flush today and fucked round with vacuum lines etc, will see how it fires up tomorrow morning

not interested in doing a carb conversion

so i just brought a 89 l200 with a 4g63 and it fires up no worries but wont idle, take a good couple minutes before its drivable. i can only assume its got to do with the auto choke. anyone got any ideas where to start, i fuckin hate carbs

carb in question

sold the car a while back sorry dude

na not due to demand, just because they can. price of shit down here is ridiculous

concrete placer didnt tell you not to drive on concrete for 28 days so it can build its strength up?

pretty much action all day, morning is practice and im sure all the riders will be getting in as much as possible. jumps at the bottom look fun, shame my knee isnt up to scratch yet

I'll try make it after the Lyttelton Urban Downhill event

went and had a look at the course today, its spectacular as usual. the in and out through the abandoned building is freakin cool

dunno about falcon springs but i used ke70 wagon rear shocks in the rear of mine, rode good as
