@calum

Yes found that out to my dismay once - think they are 1mm narrower than the nearest commonly available bearing.

Why wont these casings go back together.....

@louis-dt-wr

I read the question as WR200 disc fits DT125R in which case the front wont as the hub is unique. The rear is a direct swap

I have a DT230 Lanza front disc on my DT200WR

@lllDennis Best jetting for Athena 170 is 300 main jet on the
Mikuni tm28 but with the powerjet blocked off. Just cut the
rubber tube in half from the float chamber to the powerjet then block the 2 halves of the rubber tube with a couple of 5mm threaded bolts or similar.

@calum nice one Calum, good price too. Always satisfying to get a bargain, quality looks too, not that I am jealous or anything 🙄

@stevie-wonder I wrote a guide years ago

But you may as well create a new one if you think it would be useful.

I guess the difference being I done all the work myself so I have first hand experience on what was actually done. And I never fitted DTR wheels always just the RS wheels. So it all adds to the archive. Someone might find your stuff really useful

For completeness

This is my old inlet manifold that I opened up to easily accept larger carbs.

@louis-dt-wr I wish they had these back when I was doing my DT, OEM was expensiveeeee

@liquid-snake Well 18Vs at the battery is likely to fry some components. Not sure if the voltage is regulated after the stator.

So definitely get the right measurements first.

The bike should have a high 12V supply across the leads. This will actuate the motor on ignition on.

Also sometimes the motor is weak and/or there is some other problem. So just try removing the powervalve cables from the powervalve and operate it under no load. It might be fine.

So make sure there is enough voltage and remove any load from the motor.

@calum old thread mate but can you use a 4fu head on a 3mb barrel? ive got a 3bn head on atm and wondering what my best option is and how much more power will i gain from a 3mb/4fu head

@jonne123 im also trying to find something that matches the original silver, my stator cover needs painting

@nottsbiker said in Question for those that has their dt stolen an recovered:

Best place to store a motorcycle is indoors and if you cant do that a garage. I've had DT's parked outside chained up and been woken up in the night by the sound of rattling chains - had to sleep in the winter with the bedroom windows open just to try and hear if anything was happening to my bike!

Second this. I’m privileged on a level most arent with how secluded and private where I am is. People just don’t nose around here and there’s a real good community.
The sort of place where my next door neighbour left his pushbike outside for year because it had a flat and it never got moved, you know that type of area.

That still didn’t stop a van pulling up on our road and a couple boys coming around and start lifting up bike covers and walk off with one of his bikes

The truth is there isn’t a true deterrent for thieves, it’s just probability so make sure you do everything within your power to reduce those chances because even if you live in an area like mine you’re still at risk.

In a weird twist of fate though the thieves drew a short straw. They had a choice of trying me and my bike, my neighbours 83 ke100, cafe racer cg125 or the chink Lifan 125 dirt bike thing that has a seized engine, flat tyres and had sat for months. Guess which one the dull cunts robbed... yep you guessed it 😂😂😂

Needless to say, whilst the violation of that happening was definitely a reality all of the boys got a fucking good laugh out of them.
(Sidenote: some tools etc got stashed at arms length and around in case the cunts tried it again)

@donaldmendez
Thanks, it didn't take anyway near as long as I thought to get it up and running. I've just been doing some final touches.
I'm going to ride this one on nice days 🙂
Here's how she stands now.

@oldman said in Caution:

He definitely had ability deficit syndrome. Really wanted to ask him about abs and traction control, guess that's not going to save you from stupidity.

LOLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ - Ability deficit syndrome, now that's a new one for-sure!!! 👍

@zylux Don't feel stupid. That's totally fine. I bought one too before for 235 but I learned from it. Good thing is, my bike is fixed so still happy with it.

@randall Did you fixed this? It's odd but I experienced this on mine too. Engine is bogging down when I give it a full throttle. I checked the ful and spark but they seems normal.

@spookdog Thats a solid one! You really did a great job on this one. The color looks nice. Drive safe bud.

@irongamer727
Make sure to have your bike covered for the paint not to corrode if youre planning to park it outside for a couple of weeks. and i would also recommend buying BlueFire Motorcycle Security Kit Alarm System on amazon. its easy to install and i am telling you, its really loud. it also have a great bump sensitivity. hope this helps mate!

@challenger Typically it's Rotax Engines, TZ 250 Engines and Suzukis.

I don't recall there being any examples of road going bikes, but I read it in 2013 so a long time ago now. I have since read the collection of other tuning books he wrote, they're very good.

@mightyman You still got the Freeride E-SM bud???
