DT125R FORUM

@Jens-Eskildsen 170 kit is brilliant with all the extra bits like the carb, exhaust, boysen reeds ect just need to buy a few gearing setups as I'm currently topping out 6th 😕

Happy days 😃

Yes I'd like to go down the Mick Abby (sp?) route as well but also get him to build a pipe to match the tune along with a new matching ignition set up.

For me the main aim is always to have s bike that runs right with nice healthy mid range power rather than completely all up in the very top end of the rev range.

@ninja shhhhhh

@scrimsmustang

Anyone want a purple DT ? Im starting on an 88 Endurance Blue on so if anyone is interested let me know. Cant post in for sale section.

@declan said in Pinned pv sucks a**:

@scrimsmustang this may be my fault I only disconnected the one wire and I think the valve was actually closed most of the time but either way I didn't like it

Yeah, everyone to there own like. I much prefer a pinned powervalve on the old bikes.

@declan

Ive got a KTM 250 XC stroke now love it

@declan said in Fork bushes:

@Nottsbiker id like a kdx 200 or 220 i think they're a perfect balance between comfort and peformance

Yes thats why I bought my DT200WR 😉

Had one years ago regretted selling it ever since so had to get another one.

Just to chime something else in, my TDR doesn't really have much past 9-10k either, but it seems to be due to a small hole where my silencer meets the expansion chamber. Whenever I patch it up, I get much more pull up the top of the rev range. Sadly my fixes don't last long 😪

Clutch needs to be balanced properly if it's dismantled.

But But noise is generic. Is it metal on metal sound?

@ryanjimccfc Alright. Make sure the casting is flawless and that everything fits without imperfections.

@thechompster And ignitech

@calum I hear you

@DTTOLATE

You’ll need a very accurate measurement of the bore top middle and bottom, you’ll need for this is a dial bore gauge, it’ll tell you the OD of the bore and tell you how round it is etc etc,

I send all my barrels and crank to Jim bailey (roadrunners) and he does it for me, I’ve been using him since 2017 for all my dts and mx bikes rm yz etc anything that has a steel liner which all mine was as they was sleeved, he’s very good and last time he did my dtr barrel I did 11k miles before stripping the bike for a restoration it still ran lovely.

@Calum Yeah just re-uploaded it. All working 🙂

@finnerz89 Used to notice it a lot on my little 50cc Aprilia RS when I was kid coming home from a late night!

@minia Was going to say, your English is superb lol.

@gareth_iowc Yes, there is a need for aftermarket CDI's always. The YZ is designed for track use and isn't great for road. Retarding the ignition, smoothing the band out will help.

YOu could also tailor the band to specific tracks.

But as Darty says, you're getting very specialist here. You'd need a dyno to measure the results.

But on the tame DTR's, it's very noticeable difference.
