KTM / Re: KTM front brake assembly - twin leading shoe

« Last post by ozktm151 on May 07, 2021, 05:24:10 PM »

Hey PEZ the short answer is no. Same twin leader for all bikes. Someone sometime told me it was a copy of the Yammie one. Have never used one myself as I went the disc way on my 85 250. I guess it is how, why and where you ride as to your preference in brakes. Sorry for the bad news, hope you come up with a satisfactory solution. Cheers Bill

the 185A motor's can be made to go well,i raised my exhaust port 1.5mm and took the inlet out to 32mm then matched the exhaust/intake ports out to the edge of the steel liner
.i found old chainsaw files heated to shape them perfect for that job.im yet to split the case for a tm125 close ratio box conversion and match the transfer ports to the cases

General Discussion / Re: Pre 70 Yam alloy forklegs legal?

Yes. The later DT1's with the round section swingarm came with them as did the RT1's and form memory were available late in 1969.
It would also be a bit pointless forcing the steel lowers to be used when you could simply fit legal Cerianis or Bultaco or CZ forks which are all better than the Yamaha.

I see the DT1's came with steel lower forklegs, are the alloy lower legs race legal?

General Discussion / Re: xr500 re electrical testing specs wanted.

That can be a problem. The other wires coming out are the Charge coil and the Lamp coil both are listed at 0.2- 1 Ohm. The Charge coil connects to Pink and yellow wires. The Lamp coil is the white/yellow wire and it tests back to ground.
To identify you will need to check between wires and check to ground.
If you PM me an Email address I can send a scan of the wiring diagram with the resistances drawn on.

The problem is that the wires all look black in colour having trouble finding trace colours
