mollygreen Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) This was a piece I wrote last November as part of a forum entitled "Majesty Kickstart Lever". At the time I had no idea how to attach photo's. But I do now, so hear we go! I have just finished modifying and fitting a DT125 kickstart lever to fit my original TY250 kickstart lever boss and it looks very good, though I say it myself. The DT125 lever is only about 5" long and so gives a good couple of inches plus clearance under the exhaust when closed and looks a lot less bulky than the original. I had to ream out the kickstart lever and turn down the diameter of the boss spigot to get them to fit. I also cut the spigot down, drilled and tapped it to hold the lever on the spigot with a bolt and washer. This I feel is far better than the original washer and circlip.

woody Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Nice job along with the footrests. Where did the front pipe come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feetupfun Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Yes it does look quite neat mollygreen. Do you remember which model DT125 the kickstart is from? Thanks David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollygreen Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) Woody: Thanks. The front pipe is a Sammy Miller (complete with ground out sh*tty mis-match, as mentioned elswhere). Majestyman 340: The carb is the orignal, not new, just clean is suppose. Feetupfun: The kickstart lever was new and bought through Ebay, from Yambits. It is not a genuine Yamaha (cheap Chinese copy probably at Edited March 22, 2008 by mollygreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 That's a Miller front pipe.... Now I'm wondering what they sent me as mine didn't look as good as that - why I didn't recognise it I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
