DT125R FORUM

Happy new year to all,I wish you only good health, everything else can be gained more or less.

@Calum Thank you for the existence of the forum.

@SpookDog Turns out if you run 421 pitch chain on a bike putting out nearly 30+ ponies, it's really only good for a few ride outs.

Snapped 2 years ago, haven't ridden it since. Restoring it back to 520 pitch.

Was rapid though, probably did like 500 miles on a chain which was probably only designed to do a single race 😉

I think EVs for the masses is great. I for one would love an EV, most people don't do much more than 40 miles a day commute, although I just cycle that as my preference.

I've got nothing against EV motorcycling, but it's the weight. It's one of the reasons I don't have a thou or a 600. I was on my RS the other day and for its class, it's fast. Easily will nail the last bike I rode, MT07, in the twisties for sure. You simply can't beat the weight of a well designed two stroke, let alone its simplicity.

That said, they're hardly friendly for the environment. I'm currently working on another project, welded the frame up last weekend and the oil that thing dripped was rediculous!

My issue is, I don't see the motorcyles as the root cause of the problem for climate change. Small CC bikes are hardly the biggest contributor to greenhouse gases.

Nice one, thanks for that suggestion! I’ll give that a go.

Ps. Nice name!

Hi guys, i own old 1988 DTR with round slide carb. Having trouble jetting it. Can someone help me find out where is it rich or lean.

Current jetting is:
Pilot 30
Main 130
Clip 3rd slot from the top.

But since i could not find oem jets this is chinese jets and i have lot of smaller or bigger jets to try.
