Dt 125 to DT200r engine swap
-
@Calum yz engine would be nice yes but there made for racing not for road use so would require a rebuild far to often for what i need looking to do a straight swap for the dt200 engine I may even use my old dt 125 engine afterwards to put in a yz 125
Need to souce a engine too there’s one on eBay from Poland that I have had a look at but not sure
-
DT200WR and DT200R both fit straight in.
Both will need carb, pipe and exhaust in the case of 200WR.
Neither 200 engine is bonkers like a YZ engine, however the 200 is like the 125 you always wanted and has more grunt.
The 200WR engine is slightly more powerful than the 200R and has a nikasil liner rather than a plain steel one.
I have a DT200WR and a TDR125 Belgarda and I'm probably going with a 200R lump in the Belgarda just because it will look right and need the least mods.

dtr 170cc athena vs wr200? similiar power? anyone tried both of them?
-
@pedrobatista10 Stock 125cc is most likely faster than a stock 170 Athena. THEY ARE JUNK.
-
@Irongamer727 you mean stock athena? because a modified athena its very good. one of the fastest dtr 125 in portugal use them heavily modified
i have a athena kit for my dtx, that will be modified to install on my 2nd engine when i have tim€. not now, because aprilia fck all my budget

the guy filming is dtr 200cc, other one athena 170cc. both made by BARacing
-
@pedrobatista10 That's misleading as they swap from one rider to another. It's probably easier to say which_is_which, by naming the rider with or without gloves. These idiots never ceases to amaze me with all these vids of fast/stunt riding and NO FREAKING GLOVES!!!
Cool vid though, personally I'd go for the 200cc engine as you will get better reliability for-sure.

The first guy filming 200cc
-
All the BAR bikes are tuned
Also they always have super skinny wheels and low boy exhausts
-
@Nottsbiker cheers for your feedback thinking the dt200r engine easier to source I think
-
also I take it the dt200 engine can be derestricted in a similar fashion to how the 125s are
-
@mhbikesnbits Yes to a certain extent, but I would not ride it on a CBT or with 'L' plates tho, as you'll just be asking for trouble.
-
@mhbikesnbits not restricted in any way. Always tuneable
