    Here are the differences in the 3BN Cylinder head [image: 1483566896896-dt125rheads-diffrences.jpg] It'll be marked on the cylinder head. [image: 1663628447669-874e98a1-e604-4e06-9310-d20f77cae655-image.png] The 3BN head is interoparable with the 3MB head, but has a combustion ring which is said to adversely affect performance. Here is a video of the difference between a 4FU cylinder and a Belgarda 3MB00P cylinder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8okvTxe-Bs Here is a 3MB cylinder. [image: cylinder-1_medium3MB1131100-02_4baa.jpg] [image: 1663628477295-8e899a28-4514-4881-89ec-bfcc824ade10-image.png] You'll see the crankcases are stamped 3BN [image: 1663628512647-b054f520-0af7-4920-948f-cc532b8bbd25-image.png] For the most part you don't need to worry about it, it'll be rare that you'll find a DTR with a 3BN crank/cylinder and most of them will be 3MB cylinders. But it's just worth bearing in mind. There are variations in CDIs and Exhausts which affect the performance, but these are less important as there are aftermarket support that recitfies any loss in performance

    Normally, they just add a throttle stop to restrict the bike, so you can only open it 3/4s of the way. This is what a lot of the test centers do as it's easy then to unlock the bike to full power afterwards.

    @Stevie-Wonder Thanks bud Greta (for that is her name as she's noisy, irritating, aimed squarely at the youth market and responsible for thousands of them bunking off school all over the world) cost me half as much as my '93 due to the mileage and had a thick layer of grime all over due to years of grinding commuting. I gave her a scrub with Jizer (several times) and this is what was underneath Here are the part #s for the toolbox and lid, bit pricey IMO and you'd have to get the lugs welded on to a non-e start frame. Be a nice touch if you were getting it powdercoated sometime though https://www.cmsnl.com/products/boxtool_55v2817301/ https://www.cmsnl.com/products/lid_55v2818500/

    The little stinker loving life playing with the big boys , after what has felt like a long wet winter it was time to get out there for a play , and oh boy did we enjoy ourselves the little Stinker singing it song and its pilot with that big ear to ear stupid grin , we did the local Biker Cafe , Squires charity Easter Egg run which started at the Cafe at Sherburn in Helmet to Malton about a 45 mile run , the cafe is a 30 mile run for me to get there then the run home so all in it was a about a 110 mile ride out , and bike and man feel so much better for it , the ride home was fun I was with two friends one on a 1000 yam faser and a big yam custom job that is parked along side me in the first picture , and me being on the little Stinker they thought it had better be me leading the way ha ha ha fools took a wrong turn and ended up on a little back lane two strips of tarmac with a strip of gravel down the middle , no problem for the Stinker as you know all too well but with a 1700 cc cruiser two up and a 1000 Fasser two up I dont think they were best pleased , and then we ended up at a bridge that was closed but open to walkers and cyclists so it was decided we are cyclists Ok motorcyclists so why not have a look , well two ladders laid down side by side with a scaffold board on top of them did not look too inviting for the big boys , Stinker would have been away with it but seeing as I had got them in to this mess I had to try and save the day and get them back to civilisation well pop the Stinker on the sidestand lean it over quick swivel and thats me ready for the off 4 dirty looks that could kill 4 shunts each and 15 mins later we are on our way character building I call it , dont think they saw it that way Oh well think that could be the end of me leader of the pack days finished , [img]https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1441/25310222583_2a6dd94174_c.jpg[/img] [img]https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1487/25818157832_82602561aa_z.jpg[/img] [img]https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1518/25638362460_8aa6c038be_z.jpg[/img]

    @Dt-Danny Aye, of course he could just be a better rider. Or worse still, knowing you, the head gasket is gone on your drz. Plus who said drzs are fast? And for that matter who said bog standard dt200's are fast. I don't think either bikes are. But they have other key qualities that make them excellent bikes.

    @DevonDtr Yeah but at least this could happen on any vehicle! I got so used to doing tyre changes that punctures were the norm. I had so many puncture repair kits on my DT that eventually it was the seam that split lmao! Deadly now that I think about it. A blow out down the dual carrige way could have ended really badly!

    Yeah we had all that on the old forum and it was a question of whether it actually got used or not
