Nice one.
I’m told by a mate who owns a lot of trail bikes the early monoshock ones are better off road bikes than the later ones. Mostly due to more sticky-out bits to break on the later ones.

Re: Parts interchangeability - DT175 in this case but a general topic
Haven’t seen anything on evilbay etc, but haven’t checked any wreckers yet due to shifts, school hols etc. Earlier DT175’s seem to have 5 spring arrangement and more rivets, pretty sure engine internally little changed from the 70’s. (This is a good thing in my books for most bikes where it applies)...

Re: Parts interchangeability - DT175 in this case but a general topic
Yes, I understand the segmentation of parts numbers, middle section being a very broad descriptor such as "piston" or whatever part, I was using the blaster as an example as it turned up in a search, similar (doubtless not same) assembly containing similar if not identical number of compon...

Parts interchangeability - DT175 in this case but a general topic
Not sure if any of you guys have any hints or tips on this general subject. I'm not looking at RD's or RZ's in this case but a 1987 DT175. Rash purchase to get my teenagers on bikes, peppered with misplaced optimism, the bike has good bones but stripping off the clutch side after running it round th...

Re: Ferfuxsake
Long delayed response. I was baffled as to why the brakes were useless on the LC right after having bespoke hoses fitted by a professional who appeared baffled after trying to bleed them. Brought the bike home, left it for a day and did what I usually do to bleed brakes, and a few bubbles later I ha...

Good for a museum.

Re: Ferfuxsake
Long story, but bike has to get thru government yard inspection to get South Australian rego. Hoses were non-compliant, had to be replaced. Master cylinder was goosed, was replaced with generic “chinese” unit. Brakes were working (with new master but old hoses). Got a lift with a mate who has traile...

Re: Is there anybody out there?
You do.
I bought a ratty one years ago, and it’ll be years before I get to it.
Have hardly seen any for sale since. Though I’ve only really been casually browsing on gumtree and ebay.
