At least I more safety minded now, vis the Red bands etc

A strange thing happened to me today, as I was heading out to a job this whizzed by me, I immediately took chase and finally caught up with the somewhat surprised owner and took this snap shot. (I think he thought I was a debt collector to start with

)

She was a minter just like mine was when I picked it up back in 1979

Nice and original apart from the tank, looks like a 97.

Its worth checking that the swing arm bolt is free as they have a tendency to seize in place. If it is a 96/ 97 they came jetted quite rich(160 main) with the expectation that owners will discard the snorkel and remove the spark arrestor(not poss after 97). Also worthwhile is removing the mesh from the air filter cage or get a uni filter cage. Oh yeah they have a resistor in the plug cap, replace it with a piece of brass the same size for a nice fat spark and easy starting.

15/40 is ok for the road but to tall off . Pity they never came with a 6speed like the dr350.

Happy trails

Spent the day yesterday playing in the sand on the MX bike at "The Sandpit" in Woodhill forest, in a word AWESOME

It has been about 3 years since i have ridden there on a proper dirt bike and the wet sand yesterday was fabulous.

I think it was exactly the terrain that the 510 was made for as it is one of the few places that i can consistantly
use full throttle.

The body is feeling the effects of it today though.

Will definately have to get back up there again before the end of winter.
