The Leviathan Project
-
@2stroke4smoke I've had it over 8 years now. I've not got the interest in riding it anymore.
-
@calum in that case might you be persuaded to part with your zeeltronic
@2stroke4smoke Doubtful. The bike will be used one day. Just not for a few years yet.
-
@stinkwheeler Ah cheers bud. Well believe it or not, when I started this bike I didn't know a think about mechanics. So all it takes is one project to get up to speed.
It's a good build, but you haven't spent enough time looking at other peoples builds on this forum yet to call it the best
There is a lot of talent on this website, whether it be restoring a classic like @scrimsmustang & @oldman or going all out on the tuning like @Darty & @Louis-James. Definitely worth checking out their builds that they have done!@calum I've seen alot of the builds on here including the 170 builds ect i should have phrased it differently i should have said one of my favourite builds rather than the best like you said before its all preferance I've had a few dts and hope to own a few more but out of them the supermotos are more my thing and i was planning on the jollymoto tail pipe and alot of those mods that you have done before i read the thread hence why its one of my faves
The hills are alive with the sound of ... braaaap baaaaap 😁

@stinkwheeler Yeah I know mate, I just like to dish out the credit to others. We all draw inspiration from somewhere, it's nice to be referenced for my hard work. Thanks.

Hey let us resurrect a dead thread...
Got the DT out of storage and it runs like turd. Battery is dead.
Bought a lithium battery for it. They are cheap now. £50 and it has 1/4 the weight. It's smaller too. And still packs enough punch to power the starter.

@Calum COOL welcome to the club, the downside to buying a Lithium battery is you need a specific charger for. Regular ones will not charge it, I bought this one;

Got some new grips and sorted some other niggles out.
Running sweet as a nut niw.
This pipe packs a punch and sounds the tits full chat.
-
@Calum COOL pic. They reckon with the Aprila MX 125, if you swap the exhaust for the RS under slung pipe you get an extra 2hp, maybe the DT receives the same benefit???
@NINJA I had a handmade underslung pipe from Romeu on my DTR and wow it made a difference once she was jetted correctly!! Couldnt tell you BHP wise but it certainly made a huge difference, absolute flier! And as poster said, sounds THE tits!
-
i have romeu henriques pipe too on my dtx and its amazing the sound!
-
Wrap around exhausts are a compromise for clearance. This would be no good off road, but designed to be performant.
Jetting wise, on my vhsa, it's a tad lean. Breaking up in the mid range before it comes on pipe. Compare that to the dep pipe same setup, it was far too rich. So it is definitely utilising the fuel better.

@NINJA Yeah I like that. Is that the rear reservoir cause everything else is non-standard...

@NINJA Yeah it's a Romeu pipe. Bought it years and years ago. 2012 I think. With a Jolly Moto silencer.
@Calum I thought so, I was just looking it up on ebay;
I spotted this MX on the web with an RS pipe fitted to it and the dude reckons it adds 9Bhp to the 122 lump!!!
