@irongamer727 I’d say so yes

Aww cool, it's a belgarda engine. Italian import, you get mega props for owning one. They have wicked Motori Minerelli Stamps where the original DTR engine doesn't. It's super cool engine. Slow as balls though. It's just not comparable to the SP.

@calum That’s pretty cool might have ya have a check some day

@irongamer727 The stock Pilot Jet is (25) , My advice is to try (27.5) to support your mods. Also dont forget about Needle height! Very important aswell

That will also do [image: f0d3e9bf-ac3f-47c2-a058-4562c8380bfb_1.5b84b462ac7fd1c3e744dc51ecf6b236.jpeg?odnHeight=450&odnWidth=450&odnBg=FFFFFF] The clutch cover gasket doesn't need to be anything special.

@irongamer727 for what bud?

Right also, don't be so quick to slate Yamaha for using the bolts that they did. I'm not going into here, you can easily Google that information, but trust me when I say there is a perfectly justifiable reason as to why they used the bolts that they did.

@gilera-sc you have the best of knowledge right here on this forum

Mine slipped with Castrol Magentec. I just use Castrol GTX Semi 5-30w

I've always done about 5 heat cycles then a gentle ish ride before riding normal, never had any of my rebuilds seize or fail, obviously you don't wanna be holding it wide open for 2 or 3 rides but don't be afraid to accelerate, with a good forged piston and a few heat cycles you won't cause any harm.

Used 10w40 gear oil in mine with no issues, did replace clutch in 89 and suspect original plates contaminated as very "sticky" when I got them out

the proper cotton braided fuel purpose hoses last a lifetime using clear ones for fuel is asking for trouble, they go brittle, crack, split, leak and are toss! you dont need clear ones, there is 2 filters in the petcock and theres a filter in the carb fuel inlet barb too

thanks @Calum

Use a copper washer bud.

A general rule of thumb, the higher the compression the greater the power. On a two stroke, a great deal of power is made in the head. But it's not a case of skimming the head, you need to modify skishband. Read Graham Bells Two Stroke Performance Tuning for infinitely more detail.

@irongamer727 thanks lads

Very doubtful, check the part numbers from Yamaha, but I suspect they will be totally different as it's a totally different engine.

@dtr-nsr That's really odd. As said then, I guess it is just reversible.

@irongamer727 And as I said, if it lines up with the port then happy days.
