DT125R FORUM

Merry Christmas everyone!

@HOTSHOT-III Hopefully the issue gets resolved as I don't want to lose the data they're hosting. The important stuff I ought to host here to guarantee it isn't lost.

@HOTSHOT-III thanks

Unless required, I'd leave the jetting alone. Even DEP recommend just leaving the jetting alone. Once you get the pipe, warm the bike up and do a plug chop. If it's hesitant, bogging or the plug is not golden brown, then consider a rejet. If you're running the stock DTX carb, then 210 is the stock jet. The earlier models came with 240 main jet.

Not familiar with a 1994 DT175 (I presume this is from the Asia (Far East) market). The oil light will just be for the two stroke. There are no sensors that do gearbox, the most you get is a Neutral Light sensor (if you're lucky). For the gearbox oil, the only sensors you see are with your eye balls and the oil sight glass. I can't 100% say this is the case, but I say it with high confidence that this will be the case. Hopefully that's useful. Calum

So I ordered a chinese loncin 230 engine the other day: https://www.alibaba.com/suppliersubdomainalibabacom/product-detail/subject-1601293337863.html?from=share&ckvia=share_5a6f391286154bb29332384b484f81aa&needReward=true Price was abt 750EUR shipped to Sweden, specified to be everything paid, delivered to the door, but I doubt it.. Maybe VAT included, but not the customs fees is my guess. Still not too bad comparing to the price/performance ratio with a Athena 170-kit. Shipping is by boat(classified as dangerous goods), so it will take abt 2 months to get here.. I have done some reading, and it seems people are using them in DT230's and also converting 125's. Might be an issue with the starter hitting the frame on my -88 DTR. I also read that the stator needs to be replaced to work with a AC CDI like my Zeel, and the cure would be a Yamaha Majesty stator, so I ordered this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006513896063.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.10.34521802cdX2E8 The comments I found about the engines seem pretty positive, so I have some hopes.. I have not found specs on the gear ratios, just hoping it will be a wide ratio box. Other concern is vibrations even if I have not read any complaints. Carb will be a 30 or 34 PWK copy to start with (I have them in my box of carbs), depends on the size of the rubber boot to the reeds. I might even try it with the 28 I have on the bike now, just to be able to run the stock airbox boot. Exhaust is unclear, I bought a used Gasgas 250 exhaust that has some damage, but I might even try it with the Athena exhaust I have on the bike now. Other recommendations I have seen are WR200 and KTM 200EXC that can be made to fit. I will update with progress when I have installed the engine.

@Calum That site is known even more year's!!!!!
