    New aluminum prop rubs slightly

    I have a 1985 Suzuki dt65. I bought it used with a stainless steel prop on it that seemed to fit just fine. I have since bought an aluminum prop to replace it. The new prop spins fine until I torque it down to the specified 40 ft/lbs, then it rubs just ever so slightly slightly on the gear...

    Exhaust fumes coming out thermostat housing

    Hello all, I’m new here, but very excited to be on this forum. I’ve been learning so much! I have a 1985 Suzuki DT65. It is new to me but I don’t know much about it’s history. I’m an effort to try and descale the motor, (which I should note it only had a light amount of scale) I took off...
