o.a.s motorcycles

Yes I was only look at some pictures of the Rayer conversion earlier and noticed the DT head. Maybe using the whole DT engine would make more sense rather than having to modifiy the TY crankcase to suit. I'll have a look at the gear ratios and see who different they are.

Do you think the job would be any easier if I used an early DT175 engine. The barrel and head bolts look better positioned.

I've had a look about and the sleeve seems easy to get hold of. This one here The piston seems a bit harder, I can't find anyone who does a piston that big for a DT or WR200. I have found some big pistons for Yamaha Blaster quads which I believe is the same engine as a DT/WR but with an aircooled top end. Not sure is these will work 72.5mm and 72mm Not sure on the pin size though? Any tips?

What piston did you use? and was the liner bespoke or a modified one? Cheers Matt

This is unfortunaly due to the bloke not kicking the bike over properly not a fault with the bikes internals. Four strokes dont need sunch a harsh prod like a 2 stoke to get it going, a smooth a consistant kick is what's needed. I've seen two 4RTs do similar things down here from people kicking them to hard.

That was great fun! 2 hours sat in the sun i thought it was ment to be a hard trial!

If it was in original condition

First year for me number 10. Matt Tupman Look forward to seeing everyone.

I'd imagine a handful of 300 Beta's will be there and some new Raga's but other than that there arn't many new models out.

....Or do what he said

Yep sumpguard off is the only proper way to do it. When you put the sump guard back on put the two back bolts in very loose and then put the bike on a stand of some sort to put the weight on the guard and flex it up to put in the two front bolts

Don't worry you wont have to much trouble getting hold of a new case, plenty of them about at the minute. Oh and how did you do it ??

Ive been using the same pair of Jitsie pegs for about 10 months now although they've been on three bikes. They're still in one peice and i haven't lost any pins, i'd say for durabilty they are among the best. As for the feel of them they are stupidly grippy to the point where you feel like your feet are stuck to the pegs! You get used to this after a short peirod and then they just feel very natural.

They're laquered, a right a*** to strip a complete frame.

Looks that way doesn't it?? I'll get my dad to find some info from Lampkins tomorrow.
