Anyone got a Dt running better than this?

[Darty]

Before I blew apart my Powervalve..., I was hitting 80mph in 5th gear with my DT134cc TZR4DL 3MB top end.

Completely destroyed it, never got to max it out, but it was pulling at 90mph!

I'm not doubting 100 mph out of DTRs and definitely not doubting it with a TDR TZR ect or being that quick there is better out there I'm doubting his speedo and his honesty on this video look at the difference in speeds and the speedo when slowing down for the car https://youtu.be/N264vFDYO8I but I don't doubt 100mph mine gets 80 not modified running a bit worse for wear and wants to lift in 3rd gear so 20mph is not much to gain when the power is there not being used

If I see a DT do a genuine 100mph I'll buy a hat and eat it

@finnerz89 My brothers 2001 dt125 indicated 100 with full dep ram air 38mm carb 170 athena

But yeah, wouldn't trust the dt speedo, and we only measured it with a '97.... Fiat Punto GT, so hardly trustworthy lol

Indicated and actually doing it are two different kettles of fish.

@finnerz89 I don't no I think it could different gearing modified well wind behind you I only get 10k revs out of my bike and I get 80mph maybe 85 downhill , not modified ish, I think original piston and rings, chain and sprockets

[finnerz89]

@calum most speedos (cars included) read 10% over as I'm sure you know.
I've seen plenty of claims about 100mph but I'm yet to see one with a GPS or genuine corrected speedo, hence my pessimism lol.
I'd love to be proven wrong I just highly doubt it

[finnerz89]

@terry-tz I think you'll find that extra 15mph very hard to attain. Is that 80mph corrected or indicated?

[terry.tz]

@finnerz89 I don't no to be honest but I would say it is like il GPS it next time I go out so later then il put a reader on my phone now any apps you recommend

[finnerz89]

@terry-tz I've used a couple off the play store, they all seem to work alright

[DTR+NSR]

I must have the only dtr that's speedo under reads lol. I thought it felt quicker than speedo showed, checked speed at 30 with gps, showed actual speed was 33mph.

[Irongamer727]

@dtr-nsr mine does that too

[finnerz89]

Lol mine never used to show much above 50, but I think that was because the speedo cable got ripped out when I came off once.
Dead weird as you could be passing traffic on the dual carriageway at only 55mph

That's how I 1st got my suspicions, flying by traffic on dual carriage way doing only 60-65. Like you say felt very weird!

sorry I didn't get back to this sooner I dropped the bike the night after this post and she has been running rich since I don't know why or maybe she just doesn't like the cold but even warmed up she not the same mind I have a pillion most of the time but she gets 75-76 with a pillion and I see that on the speedo, to be honest, she might under-read but only by a few mph
