    Forum patched and updated. Fixed some database corruption issues which was having a knock-on effect with emojis so hopefully they're working now.

    Hey All! Due to personal circumstances I will be needing to suspend the DT125R Forum for an indeterminate amount of time. This is an advance notice to say that at some point, in the not to distant future, I will be switching off this forum. My intention is to relocate the forum/database hosting as the current situation is no longer economically viable. It is unclear at the moment as to what the future will be for this forum, but rest assured it will be back online in the fullness of time. I appreciate each and every one of you that contributes to this forum so there is a BIG thank you from me. Take care & keep smoking! Calum

    Float valve height sounds like it needs adjusting.

    I can't say I am very familiar with thise pipes sadly. I have been away from the tuning scene for these bikes for many years now. It's been years since I've even ridden my DT to be fair.

    @DeeTeeArr Definitely do a full carb clean including the emulsion tube (the brass tube the main jet screws into). A lot of people (including bike shops) miss this and don't realise it comes out because you have to screw the main jet back in without the brass washer and tap it gently to remove it from the carb body. The space between this and the carb body gets blocked with moisture, dirt etc and blocks more and more holes in the tube (which is how the air atomises the fuel) until it just starts fourstroking and won't rev out one day as this controls the mid-throttle fuelling. Just chucking it in an ultrasonic cleaner usually isn’t enough; you have to actually remove everything from the carb body, physically make sure all the jets and air passages are clear, then reassemble. Make sure the air supply to the emulsion tube is clear as well, it's the small brass tube on the right of the carb body just in front of the carb-to-airbox rubber. You should be able to blow through it, but only just. I'd also echo what @calum said; it shouldn't really be necessary to re-jet just for a DEP exhaust and the OEM TM28SS is the best option for the DTR if you can save it. It's well worth soaking the carb body and all the jets in alloy wheel cleaner for a day or so as this always brings carbs up like new even when people restore bikes twice the age of the DTR.
