Hi! all the way from Sri Lanka

Hi everyone, I am from Sri Lanka. I bought a DT125R a couple of months back as my first bike. I must say it is pretty fun to ride! It is a Japanese Domestic Market Model with chassis number starting with 3FW-025XXX (I believe its a 1991 model - please correct me if I'm wrong). It has seen considerable use before I bought it. However, it is still in reasonable shape and all the important bits are still there in working order. I'm planning to do a complete restoration. Here it is:

Looking smart bud!
Welcome to the forum.
Cracking bike to have as a first bike. If you get any problems, be sure to ask!

@Calum thanks mate!

@vishanj You know what the spec is? 3MB Cylinder 3MB head? YPVS. Got an aftermarket pipe?
Any plans for it?

Hello, restoring a dt is like being mugged, your pockets are always being emptied! Enjoy!

Yes, it says 3MB3BN on the head and the engine and it has YPVS. The pipe is stock actually. Well, the plan is to first work on the fuel system, electricals and then the engine before working on the looks of the bike. I do have plans for a DEP silencer as well (they seem to be quite expensive though, in my currency at least).
I am yet to look inside the engine, it seems to be running fine at the moment though. My main concern now is the carb and the electricals. A previous owner has changed the jetting and I feel the bike is running bit underpowered. On the electrical side, the wiring loom needs to be redone as it has become a mess over the years.Edit: corrected 3MB to 3BN and added the 2nd para
