I recently purchased a used oil pump and it looks to be in good shape, but it has a brass fitting installed in the top for the line going to the cylinder instead of a banjo bolt as shown on the parts diagram. Is this a cause for concern? What might this pump be from? It was listed as 214-13101-04-00 original Yamaha part. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

My new to me DT2 has what looks like all the parts for the front brake switch.

Could someone please direct me on how to assemble this?

Thanks,

Jeff.

Hi all, I recently bought a 1972 DT2 that has low compression (90psi), so I pulled the top end and it looks like it ate sand.

It has a .50 over piston now, so the machinist will be letting me know what size it cleans up at.

Although the connecting rod has side play and no up/down movement, I might have the crank done due to the sand issue.

Questions:

1. What piston mfgr's are good?

2. Will newer DT 250 pistons work?
