Water cooling was a giant leap forward for dirt bikes.

Just the thing for when you're stuck in an office on Friday before a long weekend, wishing you were somewhere else...
The soundtrack is a bit dicey, although at least there's some Black Sabbath included
Have a good weekend!

Anyone watching the latest McGregor/Boorman series on FOXTEL? It's the same format as LWR. I find it hard not to be cynical as they prepare a shitload of brand new gear, in a garage that's bigger than my house, but it's still good entertainment!

Wow mxmaniac that tops me.
I have a separated shoulder thanks to being driven into the ground by a PE175! Physio told me to stay away from dirt bikes for a while, so I won't be there. I should be good for round 2 hopefully.
Have fun everyone that goes.

is kick starter slipping internally or on the splines ?
Internally I think. It's only happened a few times so far.

In what state? Does bike still have switchblock and wiring for the binkers?
It's in a great state - Victoria! Sorry Quickie, switchblock and wiring for blinkers was gone when I got the bike. Speedo and speedo cable are also absent. You don't need those items for rec reg so I never bothered chasing them up.
Let me say that this IT250K is NOT "pristine", or the "best one you'll ever see". It could be ridden as is, but with a little bit of work could be made into quite a nice example. I haven't ridden it for 6 months, it probably needs brake shoes as well.

Am I going crazy, or did the starting bid increase from around $900 to $1600?

Bike is in reasonable, and mostly original condition.
Bad points: Kick starter is starting to slip occasionally; rear mudguard is from a TT250 and the subframe/grabrail thingy has been cut off; back tyre is getting tired but still usable; chain & sprockets pretty stuffed (but still work); one fork seal is leaking; and fuel tap is also from a TT250.
Good points: Rec reg until Dec 2008 (75048); original sidepanels; original headlight; original muffler (not shown in pics); and has compliance plate if you wanted to fully restore and ride on the road (though most road gear is missing).
The bike has been very reliable. It's an ideal vinduro mount and is also eligible for Pre 85 & Pre 90 classes in VIPER. It could be ridden as is, or could be the basis for a restoration.

I'd like around $900 (neg) for it. I'd also consider a swap for a RM125T, YZ125G or similar evo motocrosser in similar (or better) condition.

Cheaper rego is a real bonus too.
With 250 stickers etc on, would the 400 pass as a 250? Not that I am encouraging any illegal activity, oh dear me no.
A bloke I went to uni with had an RD250, that was actually a 400.

Yamaha / Re: dt200 compatibily with dt175...
« on: April 15, 2008, 03:47:40 pm »
The DT200 is liquid cooled; the DT175 is air cooled. The 175 had the earlier version of the monocross suspension. I didn't think anything would be compatible! Maybe the hand grips...
