Message: [QUOTE="Psyco Diver 69, post: 149509, member: 19422"] Well the DT is starting to have problems (I rode it for 2 and a half years and never had a problem not to mention I rode it harder than it was meant for) First the bike is shifting really bad. Down shifting isn't a problem but when I want to up shift I have to force it up to the point where its bending the tip of my MX boot. Every once in a while this would happen but it was never really that bad but today it just kept happening. to let you know the ride before I was riding during a rain storm going through and jumping onto mud puddles but they weren't that deep (at most 6 inches and my bike has 10 inch cround clearence. Second problem is I have been getting extremely bad head shake. I'm a mid range rider and I use my top end for straights but lately when I hold it wide open the front end bounces around and goes every where and my friends say my front is usually on the ground when this happens. This is unusal since my bike is a pretty stable bike. So any ideas, any fixes (and I swear if anyone says "just sell the bike and buy a new one" I'm going to find you, rip your head off, and use it as a Jack-O-Lantern) On a lighter side I went to a dealer and talked to him about buying a 01 or a 02 CR250, I just need to get the down payment and save enough for monthly payments, I'm going back down there to see the how much the payments will be but I should have it by this winter [/QUOTE]
