DT125R FORUM

Atleast throttle response is little bit better.

I figured if im going to rebuild the engine that i just put quality parts.

@jonne123 what I mean, is it will cost a lot of money to make it a sleeper. Best off excepting it for what it is. Will out perform the newer four strokes out the box.

@yegor Yeah, it's gotta be suitable for oil.

Ebay has had its day. They only want big volume sellers not the likes of you and I shifting unwanted spares any more as its too much hassle for them. Don't get me started on the fees either = total rip off

RS is lovely. Can't beat the evo though. Amazing cars those evos.

@calum said in Messed up on my build need radiator advice:

@dan28 And the filler side is a lot thicker.

If it's thicker that's good it has a thicker core so will cool it better

@dazzagtir "girls" what ya tryna say lol 😂😂😂

@jackreece show a picture with your tm32 installed. The float bowl needs to be pretty level. Because of how the DT engine and intake is, some carbs will sit at a angle

@terry-tz thanks buddy

@spookdog

Ah yes that’s the one ! 👌

As I have finished the 1988 bike looking for something to do. Seriously looking at doing this to keep me busy. I'll have to look around and see if I can find the parts needed. Nice job!

@james said in Difference tzr125 and dt125:

Happy days!!

It's been a while, again
But my DT is finally out of hibernation properly and I've done some little bits, passed her MOT the other week with a couple advisories, but nothing major at all.
Over the winter I've been fitting and experimenting with a new Polini PWK 32mm carburetor, after lots and lots of tuning and jetting I've finally got her right, not perfect, but right for now!
The carburetor made a nice difference I found, revs up clean and seems to have more torque throughout the revs than standard, fit original intake system nice too.
I bought a cheap blowtorch, butane and some heat proof lacquer to blue the welds on my romeu exhaust and clean up some of the rough spots from the grit and grime of the UKs winter roads.
It took a long long time and nearly killed me with the fumes but it's looking good now! And I'm starting to be happy with the build, still after some decals for the bike but struggling to find someone who can do designs how I'd like, but I'll keep the search up.
I also just got an absolute bargain of a DTR engine, I think it's a 2003 but it is completely unsplit, none of the bolts had been touched (until I got to it 🙄) and it came with a fresh original carb and servo. Took the cylinder off to free the rings, piston and bore look brilliant but rings are slightly out of spec at 19 thou so ordered an original set and Athena gaskets to bring it up to spec. This engine will be dropped in my bike over the next couple months, just got to steal the unrestricted head from my current engine and it should be good to drop in once built.
Got a 200 mile memorial run in a week and a half so trying to get some miles on the bike and iron out all carb issues etc, I'll keep updated on how it all goes.
Here's a pic of the toys currently

@SpookDog I'll inspect the power valve from the exhaust port and try to post pictures later, just to be sure
The bike feels fast and has good acceleration so there's a possibility that it's just my speedometer that's screwed up LoL

@theportingmaster
that's looking real good mate, certainly way better than my porting

@pedrobatista10 Bling Bling!!! 👍

@Irongamer727 This may be of interest to ya???

Is the servo disconnected?
They can act up aswell due to corrosion and such.

@ninja that’s better!
