    Do you know the years/months when the mk2 was made - one thing about the Japanese is they never sit back and say "oh thats a good one we'll keep making it like that"
    Am I correct going for 1985?
    It certainly has lots of ports in the barrel - I can't check just now as I dropped it off with the man to be rebored last night.

      I am not familiar with the LC'S I am afraid. I know that the last model span 87-88.

      The mk1 got to be early 80's which leaves the middle of the decade for the mk2. That is at a guess. So it's possible that it could be a very late mk1.

      Again I am not the person in the ask in this respect.

        The thing is I am confused by the whole "lineage" of DT's
        I know that they stemed from the air cooled 125, 175 and 250 (I had a DT250 about 35 years ago, best bike I ever had) then I guess they went to LC in about 1980 but the variants after that are a mystery to me, is there a chart or anything to show the variations?

                    Mad73,
                    From your earlier link of model-prefix no's I found it about a third of the way down, it is actually a 35A (I was looking at the wrong number) so as they seemed to have only made red ones in 86 - thats it, a DT125LC 1986.
                    It does not say Mk1 or 2 but I presume it is MK2, I think it must be the very last to have a drum on the back.
                    Thanks, Ray
