Put the new sprag in....... and still no better, had a chat with the mechanic at the bike shop and was told to replace the starter driven gear also. The starter is spinning, the gear is spinning but the sprag isn't doing its part. Apparently the driven gear which the starter runs on can be worn ...

Thanks for your tips........ I'll check it out and see about pulling it apart.
I had guessed that the starters used a different mechanism, I was a mechanic many moons ago, but have never played with bikes... so wanted to double check my theory before I pulled it apart.

Hi all,

I am chasing a little bit of information from anyone ejamakated, in starter motors and the like.
I have recently bought a VTR1000, an upgrade from the ol 91 ZZR600.
Anyway the VTR starter is spinning ( sounds kinda like a workshop rattle gun) but doesn't throw out to mesh the gear and ...

I agree and disagree.
I think that this is a valid arguement, I don't beleive that there is a difference..... in covering or disguising yourself, in the two ways mentioned in the first post.

BUT..... I know which arguement would win. I beleive that if the two of you walked in together, the RIDER ...

It would seem that interest is growing for a new number plate cover. Does anyone want to volunteer to take the reins and get this going?
I would love to but along with moving the family to sydney ( from tamworth) new jobs etc etc I just don't have time to scratch!

Hi All,

being new to the KSRC forum, I am wondering if there is a shop of pictures of the T-Shirts, neck warmers, stickers and other goodies.
I think the another good item would be number plate holders, These can be bought from Aunger very cheaply and they would probly help
with a logo or similar ...

Thanks for all the manuals.
Do you gave any for a DT175 1998?

You know what they say...."Where theres smoke there is fire" If you can see smoke but cant see a fire then it might be a case of BYO and build one underneath it!
Excess smoke from a 2 stroke hmmm
Still running oil injection? If so is it adjusted properly?
How is the oil level in the gearbox? is it ...

Hi All,

Today I bought the wife a 1998 DT175, so she can get her L's on it. Anyway, the OIL light is on and in speaking the guy in the shop he tells me it needs an oil sender. ( Which I might add the bike shop are going to supply me with)
So Anyway I ride a ZZR600, but find the DT smokey. I know ...

Where you at mate,

Have you checked out the resistence in the leads, I have a ZZR600 and found that one of the leads was damaged on the plug end, allowing the
spark to escape side ways to the head rather tahn through the plug. The thing ran ok, but didn't go when I squeezed the throttle on.
I'd remove clean and ...
