TDR issue

[Calum]

@tdrnoob That should pick up a lot quicker than that.

This needs investigating for sure.

If it's running lean, then the plug will be plastered white.

It's hard to tell from that video, but that's where I'd start.

Any progress regarding the weird noise coming from the engine?

[Nottsbiker]

Be interested to hear how you are getting on as well

[TDRnoob]

@irongamer727 Do you mean the whistle?

Looks like it is the problem with the starter, but I think it does not affect the main issue

Spark plug news

According manual it looks like it is carbon fouling colour

Causes

rich fuel/air mixture (maybe air leek)
faulty choke (Not sure how to check as it looks all right)
blocked air filter (probably not)

Pictures

@tdrnoob Found a small crack on that rubber, but it looked not too deep.

I have put some glue.

Last picture is to compare my one on right and the other one left from DT 125 (had a spare one). It looks like someday my one was modified.

[TDRnoob]

Some pictures of my carb with a float.

Any advice about the level.

You will struggle to find anyone willing to post to the uk and the shipping rates are crazy from here.

Loads of lovely WR200's out here too

Oh please bring me some wr200 forks back

[Nottsbiker]

Loads of 200's in France but most seem to be down south over near to Belgium / Switzerland and I'm currently in the West.

WR200's go for anywhere between €1000 and approx €2000.

Unfortunately France isn't up to speed with couriers etc and you pay silly money to ship from here to the uk whereas the other way round it's much cheaper.

DTR's go for €500 upwards so it's easy to see how Unit 5 Motos (etc) can sell them for £1500 unregistered in the uk by bringing in about 10 every visit.

If i was in the market for a tidy WR200 I'd drive over here via the tunnel and buy one in France as the choice is so much better than at home.

I have a big van. Ferry costs must be high though for commercial vehicle, need to bring back 3 I would say and someone who can find and buy? Or a working holiday, just don't tell the missus

[TDRnoob]

@zrako Where did you buy that part for starter clutch?

[ricky0115]

@nottsbiker damn, I know DHL ship from france and I know their prices are rape but I think I'm going to keep check on those websites when I get on the computer my French is super basic so navigating is difficult Thanks for the hook-up I'd love a wr200 but they're so hard to come by!!

You ever want to go over give me a shout and I'll be up for it.

We have a Trafic with pop top tent and a small trailer. In total I could probably manage 6 trail bikes at a push.

Ferry has just cost me £650 which includes cabins and dog crates. Cheapest ferry on the same route maybe £500 no frills. Tbh I'd go via the tunnel as is around £200 to cross and return say a week later.

You cant beleive how good the roads are here and how quiet they are too - bikers paradise

Bikes like the TDR were made for this type of country.

[oldman]

@nottsbiker Done the French tour a few times on big bikes, down south and to Spain, a much more bike aware country, loved it.

[Calum]

Spark Plug looks fine mate.

I didn't think it was fueling.

A plug chop must be done at high RPM WOT and the ignition to be switch off and clutch pulled in then bike pushed home

You don't get any sort of idea of how the engine is performing whilst pootling around. However you do see if there are any problems.

[Irongamer727]

@calum isn't it bad for the engine just shutting of at ~12k rpm? Does he get lubrication? Feels so sketchy to me.

[TDRnoob]

Confused about the reed valve. Took it out last time and I don't remember which way to put in. On a manual it says that there is special cutout on the corner but I don't see anything on mine. There is white marking on the top in the center. Is it correct like I am holding in a hand or upside down? The upper gap seems wider than down one.

[Nottsbiker]

As far as I remember the two stopper plates should be the same spacing. If they are not then a previous owner might have tried to modify it to open more.

Not sure if the reed valves have a top or bottom to them but if it looks symmetrical then it shouldn't matter which way up it goes.

[Calum]

@irongamer727 Hence why I said clutch pulled in

So it's not shutting the engine off at 12k RPM. You shut the engine off and pull the clutch in so the RPM's go to zero.
