@oisin

What size is your rim? 😜

@kylescave

Depending on your bike the mixture is anything from 1/4 turn to 1 & 1/2 or more...

Choke no throttle, always...

@calum cheers I’ll check that just Incase it’s some thing stupid. I’m doing a 100 mile long distance trial in a couple or weeks so want it running right if I can get it to

Take the valve core out if you are going to inflate to silly psi so that you can let it back down again quickly

Put the Yamaha part number into Google / Ebay and try looking at various different countries around Europe (do this in settings).

@spookdog Just get a Lectron carb and there is only the main jet to worry about 🤣

Yeah I seriously don't know.

My answer is, jetting should be done accordingly.

@calum yeah I do mean new new just figured I'd try a used one first

@ninja yeah I did see that.

Done my first running in run. 65 miles of ‘still going’!
Fingers crossed 🤞

@rking7888
Same hubs ect. Just different rim manufacturers

@calum I've ordered a crank now I'll see what I end up with

On a stock bike it just doesent make much sense but on a modded bike it could be cool to have a non standard kickstarter to make the bike that bit more unique

The piston works it was a piston for pre 89 dt125rs from yam bits, the bike has a lot of felt compression now seems way more than it had when it originally had a rebore and piston making me wonder if the rings were defective from new on the original piston, i did tighten the squish up just a tad with a slightly thinner gasket but I highly doubt that's the reason for the increase in compression before the kickstarter had litteraly no fight back on your foot or hand and it was like that the whole time I rode it.

@rking7888
I’ve got one cause it was £5 and I wanted to try and fit it to my 88/89 engine, polished. Never got round to trying...

@rking7888 I would very much doubt it or it would be a common knowledge upgrade ofcourse you can make anything fit with enough time effort and fabrication skills

Hey everyone hope you’re all in good health.
It’s been a while since I’ve been about so it’s nice to hear from you all.

Have you ever seen a DTR less out of place?

Life’s been keeping me busy and on top of that I’ve now got the luxury of using the ole DT as a weekend treat.
Luckily summer has granted me quite a few days to get the bike out.

And with miles of years old unexplored public footpaths and by ways accessible to a little two stroke trial bike it’d be a crime not to break a few laws and go on many a excursion with your bike in to the countryside for a little explore. Pro tip: farmers fields usually have ditches at the boundaries so prepare to get your enduro on.

Despite now using the DT as mainly a weekend toy I still don’t shy away from using it as my weapon of choice for a nice little long distance adventure. This is “A house for Essex by Grayson Perry” ft. My dad on his now long gone trusty varadero. The site is actually a beautiful quaint village with plenty of backroads and seafront nearby 10/10 recommend for all of you guys.

Also something a little different… Keeping things true and blue I couldn’t help myself, this is Maureen (in memoir of my nan) my ‘98 FZS600 streetfighter. My first “big bike” and let’s just say she’s an absolute dream to ride. Fairly nippy too.

However I must as fast as the Fazer is the DT still puts a smile on my face every time I ride it so despite what anyone has said, it ain’t going anywhere.

And for anyone that’s read this and is genuinely curious she’s running like a champ on the same piston/rings etc she had when she was imported from France 2 years ago.
When she blows up it’ll be Wr200 or Lanza 230 engine time. Got a nice little piggy bank ready and waiting for it.

@calum hahaha fucking hell, i swear everything rotten from the 80’s/90’s era has been worth more then the scrap value of gold recently (looks to everything old school Ford/Vauxhall). Hell these days you could piss on a tire leave your machine outside for a month Chuck it back in the garage for a couple weeks with a tarpaulin over her then charge £5000 extra because it’s now a “barn find”
