The pic is attached...the one I bought is the picture titled "dbh4" The other picture is a different DHZ bike...Anyway what I just wanted to ask is...how many differences are there with the two bikes? they have a fair few things different...could you guys please tell me the differences...so far ive noticed the front and rear suspension and the oil cooler is different...are these the only differences...? oh also the tires. like is my bike still identical apart from these things and could I just bolt them on? is my bike still good? Any help is much appreciated...what is my bike like? is it still the same engine and everything like that...whats the go with the different oil cooler...bigger hoses and that...? please help im a bit worried and confused...lol

Cheers, Joe

i think only the forks oil cooler and rear shock but i could be wrong.

 

[hyprvs]

and so how much difference will that make??? so the motor and all the running gear is the same? whats the go with the oil cooler?

 

[Fuzzmini]

frames, mount clamp, tyre, handle bar.

 

[daniel40]

the radiator type oil cooler is better than the block one it cools down and dosent snap off easy.

 

[hyprvs]

ok and so whats better? what frame or clamp is better and the bars...?

 

[benox]

Daniel, I never knew that about the cooler man.. I was riding at the track.. the oil cooler was hitting the front mud guard and the oil cooler bent back.. I had to use my hands to bend it back into place.. I can just see it snapping off any time soon :|

Well which bike is worth more mate? The one worth more is obviously going to have better parts

 

[hyprvs]

ok but what im asking is...are they the only differences...the engine and all the running gear otherwise is identical...? I could always put on the better stuff later correct? there isnt anything that I cant change easily enough?

 

[benox]

Well, I can't really tell the magneto cover is the same.. if they are both 125's or whatever size, yes the engines will be the same. As people before me said, its only the forks and stuff.. easily changeable if you've got the dosh to fork out on better parts.

 

[daniel40]

yeh man there all the same running gear besides oil cooler but u can change that if u wanted to.

 

[hyprvs]

oh ok cool then...well im relieved...thanks guys...!

The second pic is the pic on eBay from DHZ and the first one is what DHZ sends you.

The differences are; disks, bars, shock, oil cooler, stickers, frame components.

They just need to update the pic on eBay from the second one to the first one.

The oil cooler snapped off my pitpro about a week after I got it, my dads friend is a boilermaker so we got him to weld back on for free (instead of hireing welder) with an extra strong bracket and some new bushes to make sure it doesnt vibrate.

Benox, you should break it off now before it snaps and does damage, I was riding in 4th when mine snapped and it went BANG and broke the little plastic ring that holds the front brake cable to the left fork leg, I super glued it back on though, it also smashed into the engine head and dented the oil cooler slightly.

Just snap it off now and get it welded back on, just take the seat, plastics and electrics off before you weld it.

doesn't matter what is different, you bought it from e-bay so it will break really easy. and you won't get warranty, Ha Ha

 

[benox]

Atomik have been great to me and I got my bike off ebay, they just send parts after parts and nothing has even broken on my bike. Sixeven, btw what bike do you have?

 

[pegleg]

I just had a look at the DHZ website, and there seems to be some substantial differences between them.
The one in the first pic is there new bike that has a larger seat height of 860mm.It has the new frame and Pro-circuit exhaust. it has the carlsbad tyres, anodized brake and clutch levers. And the first pic also costs $400 more than the one you bought.
Still, nothing wrong with the one you got, it is a good bike..

 

[cass38a]

I agree with pegleg, just enjoy what you have and fix stuff that wears out or breaks.

I have a CRF 70 with a custom 138cc super head motor with enough money spent on it to buy ten of those DHZ sh1tters. At least for the next couple of years all I will have to do is the air filter and adjust the chain. My choice to spend this much and at first it hurt the wallet but i haven't had to spend anything on it for 12 months so far and I ride it every day over some big jumps. So its true, you get what you pay for.
Oh and Benox this thing and me whipped Timmo at the grasstrack recently. The fastest outlaw bike in the country!
