DTR 125r 2000 full jet refurb Advice
-
@markus-w I wouldn't say "restricted" at "210". The DEP Pipe is a performance pipe and as I say, not even recommended to up the main jet.
Restricting the fueling is unsafe and dangerous to the engine. It might be that climate favourited 240 main jet. In any event, jetting should be done to suit, and the best bet for nipping performance on those later DTRs lie in the CDI and getting that powevalve working.

@Calum
Yeah, they wouldn’t have separate jetting for restricted and un-restricted models. They all drink from the same cup
The carb bodies are different for year and country (apparently!) and are so jetted differently...I think it’s important to establish the proper jetting for the year of the carb, or the country of origin and year, apparently! They are not all the same base model...
-
@Calum yes they have different jetting among many other things. I know you don't have to up jet when fitting a DEP exhaust but to fit a 210 on a French model would be down jetting. It's important to know which model one has when jetting. I've heard people recommend to 'upjet' to a 220 but on a French model that would be wrong.

@markus-w yeah mine isnt a french import mate so i have orderd the 240 jet with the kit i have tried the 260 and it borked up the road ..but im thinking from a 220 to a 240 will do the job the lad said befor he put the full dep on it was running fine ..i have to say it does run ok but in 1st it just takes 5 seconds for valve to kick in ......i think after xmas ill be putting it in the shop to get valves fixed
-
@markus-w now then mate yeah mines not a import mate i only got it last week i just know the carb was rotten so i have sorted that just waiting on fresh re furb kit ...i think a 240 jet will do the job tbh its nbearly there now i get 80 out of it but last gear can take time to kick in
-
@primal-carnage What do you mean "valve to kick in"?
You said it's pinned. So it's an open port and therefore the valve isn't doing anything. Do you mean, it takes time for the powerband to kick in?
In which case, as previously said, restore the powervalve to fix that issue. There is nothing to be gained from pinning it, only to lose. This can easily be remedied.

@markus-w
Cheers bud! Wires can get crossed all too easily with text messages.
Regarding the RH exhaust: Waiting for the man to send it
️ Should be this week 
My bike is actually running really well for the first time! 4000 miles with no head gasket problem!! 
The pipe will be an absolute fuckin bonus!...@Calum
I think he means the power band, maybe? In which case something is drastically wrong! 1st gear should be almost instantaneous. A DTR125 should be doing 60mph in 5 or 6 seconds!...Same old problem with a used bike, you have to set it back to standard. Fix the problem/s, then take it from there...
Check the pilot jet size please bud!...
