Your suspension looks very fluid Nordie, great track to play on too by the looks of that, we need something like that here.

Where's the ride?
KTM PDS often has the same problem, described as insufficient high-speed rebound damping.Originally Posted by NordieBoy
If you think the damping is okay, you're probably observing the low-speed damping... maybe?

The springs are overpowering the damping so lighter springs/same damping would be closer to good.
Maybe...

Both ends have been worked on and they still work.

Bit like grandads axe now aye. New headlight, seat, motor, wheel bearings, chain, sprocket, mod suspension, mod carbie, new exhaust, mod foot pegs, mod handle bars . Maybe frame and wheels are all that you haven't played with yet. Better shut up I might be giving you ideas!Well it was new(ish) when I got it in 2006

Well the battery was only $80 which is good 'cause it looks like the other batteries are fine
Just finished replacing the starter motor with my old '01 one that I overhauled when the brushes stuck after 1 month of ownership and the bike started right up no problems at all
Looks like it was the brushes in the '97 starter motor.
Armature speller
Right. Let's get this bugger apart...
Clutch off...
Oil line off...
Camchain tensioner and starter motor out...
Starter motor and tensioner from the '01 engine installed...
Oil line back on...
Clutch and exhaust back on...
Hit the button and it starts

oh wise one I have a question
Does a DR 250 have an 18 inch rim?
I have spotted whats left of a DR in a shed and both rims look good,the forks are there to,but the frame looks like theres only enough room in it for a small motor so I'm thinking it may be a 250.
If the rims are the same as jatz 750 then I will grab them if I can.
Not so crazy ....
Yes, the DR250's have a 18" rear wheel. Well, since 1987 anyway. Still 18" rim on the new DR-Z's too.
Check the width though, the 750 has most likely got a wider rim.
Mrs Jatz, it's called Google.
But just don't believe everything you see on the intraweb thingy.

If I googled it I wouldn't have an excuse to be on here now would I

Could always whack it on the CT if need be
Will see if I can get all the bits that are there if we can't use them someone else may be able to.
