    Hi again everyone hope your all doing good.

    My DT 125r exhaust bolt broke of in the cylinder so I had to drill it out and re-tap or thread the hole but now the bolt has become loose and so I took it out to find that the hole is far larger and has a much larger diameter. I ran the bike for a bit and I noticed a loss in power, I suspect its due to a lack of compression. There also seems to be a small bit of oil and exhaust fumes coming from where the exhaust meets the cylinder. So I'm wondering if I could get the problem fixed or if I will have to buy a new cylinder ? If so is anyone selling any cheap cylinders for a DT 125 r?

    Please help thanks again Oisin

      It's not compression - See wikipedia

      Love this GIF. explains it perfectly.

      Any exhaust pressure lost through the manifold will result in a dramatic loss in power.

            I have a mint condition cylinder from a 2003 that has been rebored and honed by Mick Abbey and with a new Mitaka Piston Kit, will post some photos if your interested. Has a full gasket kit with it.

                          @Oisin I mean, Mick Abbey charges like £150 for the porting working alone...so that would be like bargain of the century 🤣

                                    Hi, if you send me your postcode can get you a price for tracked delivery, think the price is about the same as posting in the uk. cheers Terry

                                          Just said I'd let u all know I got it fixed.
                                          I used some jb weld and retapped it back our to m8 and seems to be holding now.
                                          Thank you all for your help Oisin.
