My dt125r/wr200 project

@andrewj1680 did you have to remove the spring for painting?

Calum

@ricky0115 Yeah but it's not a hard job to do

ricky0115

@calum I am a total novice to motorcycles, normally I don’t venture past building my brothers pushbike at Xmas

Calum

@ricky0115 You basically compress the spring. which allows you to remove the retaining washer. It then just slides off.

@calum oh I think I will leave it, a friend of mine did that and ended up with a broken chin and dentures. Saying that it was a car shock so much more powerful I guess you could probably compress the DT spring with your hands

@ricky0115 not likely, still requires a lot of force

andrewj1680

I compressed it by hand so there isn't a lot of tension on the really and I'm running the dt200wr rear shock setup so it's possibly easier to do giving that you can turn the stiffness to suit

I wonder what is the Mick's philosophy behind cutting WR200 head to DT200R chamber design ? Like it's a a tune for the mid-range ..

I don't know alot about it but I do know it totally changed my 125 which is why I gave him the 200 as I know he seems to know his stuff he seems to be pulling good power figures to anything he puts his hands too
