poxon 5,816 Posted February 15, 2024 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2024 Got given a pair of quad bikes for free for my sons by my brother inlaw. I said to him I’m thinking of getting my lads a quad to share for Xmas in a conversation we we’re having one day he said that that’s a good idea. couple of days later he rings me come to the unit I thought he wanted a hand with somat takes me in one of his units an said there you go quads for the boys take em he said there new I had 8 in total but sold six he said they just need new fuel lines as they have been sat for 3yrs he said we only kept them 2 because we thought we would get use for them but they’ve not moved since the day we bought them 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The dt an tz are very similar engines think it was just the cylinder head that was different and the gearing. Bet that dt flew! Last dtr I had was a k reg it’d do the clock 80mph my mate had a little tzr 125 that little thing was mental he tuned it himself that would go off the clock I’m sure they had 110 mph 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
