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.

thank you all for the warm welcome,
and tips.
be sure to keep you informed.
I see that you can find a lot of information here!!

Gorgeous color scheme!

@Calum

Don't be sorry, I think it looks great too, it's just they aren't my colours and they're way louder than I am.

However I've ridden the bike and now, and immediately realised I actually couldn't care less what it looks like. 🙂

Cheers!

Looks pretty tidy

I would have a guess and say, we aren't sure. This isn't an LC Forum it's the R and therefore there isn't a wealth of information on the LCs unfortunately.

@DTTOLATE

You’ll need a very accurate measurement of the bore top middle and bottom, you’ll need for this is a dial bore gauge, it’ll tell you the OD of the bore and tell you how round it is etc etc,

I send all my barrels and crank to Jim bailey (roadrunners) and he does it for me, I’ve been using him since 2017 for all my dts and mx bikes rm yz etc anything that has a steel liner which all mine was as they was sleeved, he’s very good and last time he did my dtr barrel I did 11k miles before stripping the bike for a restoration it still ran lovely.

I use Apico pegs on my 2005 DTRE.

I don't have any specific photo 😞

Or Japan! Calum is a bit of a wizard with Japanese auction sites, talk to him 🙂 …

@giggscork

Hey bud! Ola! Please reply to my thread and let me know what your 91 dtr revs out to in gear while riding! It’s quite a relevant year for me to know 🙂

@old-boy-racer

Beats mine, 25 years 💀

@H22dan hi buddy, are you a Honda man in your spare time H22?

@markus-w ok, thanks. Hopefully someone will be able to answer my question even if it is an old bike.

@Scootjockey

Every new piston I’ve brought for my Dtr has been a 3mb TZR piston. As long as the bore size matches the Dtr barrel, then all the porting/cut-outs and ring pins are in proper places 🙂 ...

TDR pistons however are totally different 👍 ...

@rraleks

My piston ate away because of overheating and a weak mixture. It was the beginning of my head gasket adventure, IIRC

@markus-w The KTM lc2 use a 520 chain on the water-cooled dtr 125 engine. Maybe you can fit a bigger front sprocket from this bike.

@jaimegonzalezlu yeah it looks suweet in that photo!

@edfrearson

Be a fool not to if the weathers good. It’s gonna fly! Smiles guaranteed 🤩
