          18 miles lmao!

          My brothers DT used to get around maybe 40 with a 170 big bore and a 38mm carb way way way over fueling. Hilarious.

          My DT gets about 120 cause I drive like a granny.

          100 is good.

          18 and there is something seriously wrong mate. I mean seriously.

              @finnerz89 I know, can't see how you're only getting 18 miles lol. That would have been like to and from school for me as a kid lmao!

              That would have been well expensive.

              DT's are great on fuel.

                    I have still never checked this on mine as the nob for the clock broke to reset it but about 60 I think.
                    18 must be losing it out the float bowl or something

                      @calum 120 Miles? That's like 200 km! Are you talking about you're heavily tuned dt or something less tuned?

                        @irongamer727 Yeah, it's not that heavily tuned lol. Ported barrel, some pipes and a better CDI. It would run more efficient tuned than stock. Since it's make better use of the fuel, instead of just throwing it out the exhaust port, it now actually burns it.

                                Well, atleast you know where to look...Draw a radius 18 miles from your home, and look there, its probably left there, as he ran out of fuel ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

                                      If they rode it they would have got about 2 foot away as it was double disk locked! Hopefully insurance pays good on DTs as I have spent a few bucks on it and heโ€™ll of a lot of time rebuilding it! So Iโ€™m now looking for another project ๐Ÿ˜

                                          @ricky0115 sorry to hear about your bike mate, dts are a scumbag magnet. Currently have planning application in for a moat, portcullis, guard towers and medium machine gun to repel the hoards. Wondered what was happening when shares in BP fell sharply.
