DT125R FORUM

Well, I couldn’t confirm the sizes, so I’m hoping that they’re right so I don’t have to Rip t Piss out of Hotshot!! 😜
I’m just praying that the sleeves are in good enough order (especially the roller bearing one) to match up nicely 🤞 …

Sadly I badly injured my back at work a few months ago, so I've been unable to do any work on the bike since the injury. My back is getting much better now so hopefully I'll be able to restart working on this project again real soon.........

@Minia yes, my spare one..if they sell they sell or I'll just keep them 🙂

Once again, many thanks

@mhbikesnbits 🤣 🤣 🤣 Reusuable? Sounds like they're better for the planet.

Dude that YSS shock is lovely! I might have to sort myself out with one of those.

@pedrobatista10 I'm sorry to hear that. BMW550d sounds nice though. At least you're still alive and breathing and it is good to hear from you.

Maybe one day you can get an adapted shifter two stroke kart and enjoy that 😛

@oldman Personally I would return the damaged one straight away.

Make sure that the air waves are cleared on your bike, you don't seemed to have mentioned this.

So there is nothing nasty blocking your intake solution. A quick, dirty, way to confirm this is to just remove the airbox to carb joiner and take it for a quick run. Sounds like it's running rich, so doing this should cause the bike to lean out. If it's only for a short time it shouldn't hurt. You just want to know if it's getting air.

So check the airbox and renew the filter if you find that removing the boot fixes the issue.

The other common problem is water getting into the exhaust expansion chamber. So cleaning the exhaust is really vital for a two stroke. I've seen this before where a bike was sat for a long time and the exhaust was full of fluid. The bike would refuse to run if this was the case.

@vtrn_raptor I got one of those Cyclone alarms, which is perfect for my use case.

A full paid tracker system can really save your bacon.

@donaldmendez
Thanks, it didn't take anyway near as long as I thought to get it up and running. I've just been doing some final touches.
I'm going to ride this one on nice days 🙂
Here's how she stands now.

@Calum I’ve been hovering around, admiring the good work here

@finchfocker I myself just bought the DCCDIP1 race. Seems like a great unit, just programmed myself a ignition map to start off with, hopefully I'll get a chance to plug her in soon!

Getting there...

I am pretty happy with the design, I just need to modify where the holes go as there is that gap at the bottom I want to close up. It may just be easier to drill the holes myself.

I've got a quick print going now and I'll drill the holes myself and then remeasure it and do one final print. If that still comes out wrong then I'll just drill the hole myself.

Ideally it would all be part of the CAD so at least if, for whatever reason, I need another one, then it would be simple enough to sort out.

New rear disc ordered as mine is warped. Need a fresh set of tyres on this rude boy too. These are coming up for 10 years old now...wow 10 years 😮 scary to think.

Or the Tizzer?!…

Which would benefit and suit it more?…

Imageworks did them for me, have been really helpful doing most of my graphics. Much better than Facebook ones, good quality comparable to genuine.

@calum I've ordered a crank now I'll see what I end up with

@louis-james Don't know about TZR cylinders.

But

3MB
3MBP
4FU
Are bolt ons.

The 3BN has a slightly bigger bore, so shorter stroke, as a result, a 3MB con rod will bit too long.

Norwp, I needed to make sure that I could physically mount it to the radiator aswell.
But thanks for your concern 😂

@darty Ideal for you to get on the restoration vibe 😄
