Thanks all. Looks like I'll go with the PVL system.
I don't need lighting coils or charging as all that has been stripped off the bike as it will only be used for flat track and dirt track racing.
Rex's Speed Shop isn't making anything for the DT400 at the moment.

WTB. Hi, looking for front and rear wheels (rim, spokes hubs), for a 1979 DT400. I imagine those from a 250 and earlier years will fit as well. I have good hubs but everything else is munted. Ta.

Well there's your problem!
Mine is toast, so I am hunting for a spinney magnet thing that makes the zappy stuff. No zappy stuff means no Ring a Ding Ding!!!
These are photos of the one that came with the bike,,,,, and by came with the bike I mean in a bag of other bits and pieces that came with the bike!

Been busy over the Christmas break. Ordered some plastics and a seat cover from Prime8 and changed the YZ from red and white to yellow and black. Much happier with how it looks (Y)

Yep, spoiled rotten. This paddock has a bit of everything in it, open spots, ups and downs and some timber as well. Lots of ground to put a few interesting tracks in.
Changed the rear tyre over and headed down to Nepean for some dirttrack last weekend. Had a ball and will be back down on the 27th and again on the 4th (Y)

I was down there last Sunday for the Rec day and checked the new TT track out. Looks great and can't wait for the 4th to punt the YZ around it (Y)

Finally had some time to work on the track in the back paddock and play with the '85 YZ250 I have.
I have a lot of ground with lots of bumps, mounds and slopes to play with. Only just starting to mark it out and link it all together. So far I was one itty bitty double and this steel ramp to a dirt down ramp. The steel ramp is 4" high and the top of the down ramp is about 7" or so high. Top of the steel ramp to the top of the dirt ramp is about 5 metres in this pic. Nice and easy to start with.

Tech Talk / Simons Anti-Cavitation Forks?
« on: July 30, 2016, 09:34:19 am »
I finally got around to dropping the old oil out of my forks and giving them a freshen up on my1985YZ250N.
Internally they don't look like any of the fork types shown in the manual. The springs are shorter than those for the N but the right length for the S. There are no spacers and the springs sit about an inch out of the tube without the caps on, which again matches none of the fork types shown in the manual.
There is a Simons Anti-Cavitation Forks sticker on one of the legs that looks about 30 years old so I am guessing that at some stage it had one of these kits put in it. Having trouble finding information on these kits. Does anyone have any leads?
Can I just put fresh oil in there and good to go? Everything else seems fine, seals etc. are all good.
