@calum I found that the wr200 clutch boss from 1992 were exactly the same as the dt ones and they are plentiful in the USA market selling for around £20-30 quid postage is also around £20 so around £40-£50 for a clutch boss instead of a NOS one for £110! won't forget the washer on this one
So if this were a four stroke engine I'd be like yeah, break her in.
But sorry, piston and rings is simply maintenance on two strokes.
I would bed the rings in to the new bore, or give the bottom end a good run in (which you haven't built so no need). I'd do the rings and piston in 10k miles.
@calum said in Inspecting powervalve:
@nottsbiker Not true as it happens. The bush the oring sits on can actually wear out as well, elieve it or not.
Sorry had assumed it was locked open

Got this in the mail yesterday, pumped to get it on the bike when the domed piston comes. TBH it looks like it hasn't even been run lol
Depends which TDR you've got.
If its the deltabox one then no as they have their own unique fit, where as the Italian ones are / appear identical to DT-R ones. The other bonus is that I doubt the Italian ones were ever restricted.
That piston is a bloody work of art! Wow.
DTR/RE/X/Derbi GPR/KTM LC2/SachsZZ125 - Can all run the same 3MB piston.
DTR-DTRE, are the same barrel and stroke.
@declan Yeah, like I said. Get it all back to exactly how it should be. Then we can help to diagnose the fault.
It might be overshadowed by one of the many mods that have been done to the bike, hence why we are all struggling to come up with a single solution.
Or learn how jetting works. There is plenty of guidance on this forum for said information.
