    Hello, I'm Paolo from Italy. I have a DT 125 red with grey frame. Do you know the RAL color of frame? Thanks!

    @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

    I had a couple of bikes stolen in the past with what i thought was secure in a locked garage. Where i live now have to keep my DT in the back garden, not only thousands spent on it is all the hours spent making it how i want it. So have 3 x 16mm hardened chains through 3 different ground anchors and best paddlocks could get. Thatcham approved disc lock as well as a Datatool Alarm with infra red cctv. And just to make sure it's fitted with an Automatrics MTrack 24 hour monitored tracker which is the best tracker out there.
    So feel quite safe for my little DT, spent lots on security but only need to buy once and will do for years and for many bikes. only cost now is £129 a year for the tracker monitoring. So feel safe from thieving scumbags as i can be, even if anyone enters garden my cctv alerts me so be amazed if precious DT ever was stolen.

    @jamesrandall93 Well first identify if it is the clutch.

    The clutch can be adjusted in three places. If the clutch was set up properly first, then the order of adjustment is.

    Clutch Perch lever
    Clutch Actuator Arm
    Clutch Push Rod

    The perch lever is the easiest. and is merely an adjustment at the lever. The knurly knobs on the end of the perch where the cable goes in is what I'm talking about.

    You merely adjust the cable until there is a few millimeter play on the lever and the clutch is disengaged when pulled in.

    If you've maxed out the adjustment on the lever, then reset it back and move on to the actuator arm.

    This is the two nuts on a threaded bar to the left of the cylinder. Again the adjustment is the same.

    If this is maxed out and it's still not improved, then you need to whip the clutch cover off and adjust the clutch from the pressure plates.

    Dismantle the clutch cover, drain oil and coolant. Then amend the locking nut and threaded bar till positive engagement and then slacken off. Again ensuring you reset the clutch arm and perch prior.

    If you still have no luck, then either, the push rods are worn, the ball bearing is worn, or the plates are worn.

    The bike should be idling around 1500-2200 RPM's. If it's not, then there is something wrong. It's not a four stroke, it shouldn't be idling around the 1K mark.

    As Calum said, you'll have to Jet it accordingly to try and get the best amount of mixture possible. But in my opinion it really just depends how much time you're willing to perfect it. If it's just something you want to thrash and aren't worried about the results you can probably skip a couple steps... I've certainly done that.

    I got some coming this week and wanted to see how many are running a sm setup with them as I have no clue how to make a bracket 😂

    Yeah I wrote a tutorial. Follow that and you won't go too far wrong.

    I've never heard of checking the engine number on Mot ... All they did ever to me was frame (VIN) number on head tube 😊
