    Dt’s don’t die! They just slowly fade away (if they’re treated right) any 2 stroke does. Which is the issue, did the power loss come on slowly over time or just happen? Slowly would suggest normal wear to rings like the man said... I’m wary of anything that claims to fix without work. Apart from that teralyne/whatever they pump through 4 strokes. But 2T are different, like you say, anything that breaks down carbon is not likely to be lubrication friendly to your bearings...

    @Steady-Eddy Eddy! Great to hear from you There was a forum outage a wee while ago. Down but never out. Sorry to hear about the ball joint, these things happen. But a fresh new one should see you for a while. Sad about the DT, but there is plenty life in you yet, you could always get another one. Perhaps a doer uper to give some joy back into the world. That sucks about the marshaling, everything happens for a reason though. How's the new home? Happy with it. Was it difficult to downsize? Wishing you all the best Calum

    Yeah, I get it. I don't want a heavy thumper. But part of me doesn't want the two stroke hassle factor either! Haha I'm getting old I think!

    @declan Someone scrapped a perfectly fine Glanza shell the other day. Criminal. Considering how rare they are. DT's were made world wide. It's sad to see them go, but that's just the way it is.

    Alot of enduros are registered under power from factory, they can be riden on A2 however if police decide to Dyno you it can cause issues. My mates Beta 300rr came brand new registered at something like 11kw, and I have seen alot of the KTMs are the same. Some insurers ask for proof of restrictions with a2 bikes, most don't. It's on you wether you want to risk it or not, however the likelyhood, atleast in the UK, of being convicted seems fairly slim, I know alot of people riding 600s, KTM 690 unrestricted etc on A2 with no issues, but in the event of a crash you may not be paid out, but the same goes for not declaring modifications. Insurance nowerdays is a nightmare, it's up to you how you want to go about it all.

    @Minia I've seen it before somewhere but can't remember what the slogan was? Something to do with bikes probably on FB, but it appears to be a popular meme that been copied many times, thanks for the info. :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:
