A nice package has arrived for the Dt but what could it be :face_with_open_mouth:
It’s the dt 200 engine 3ET engine ready to overhaul and drop in the freshly powder coated frame.
Will update the engine progress accordingly and plenty of pictures of stripping down.

Nice engine.
Not to rain on the parade, I think it's slightly inferior to the 3XP00 engine. But let us know how you get on.
I think the ports are slightly different.
@Calum It's very inferior to the 3XP-4BF WR200. No Aux boost ports and very tame port timing.
@mhbikesnbits I'm liking the project man, should be sweet! The 3ET lump with some breathing mods will make a nice road going 2stroke. It's a very unstressed engine, plenty of torque down low. Kind of want one as well,
I didn't like the damage to the crankcase and the price of that one, but a good project base, keep us posted.

@Calum yes it is a little inferior to the 3xp engine but I really am dying to get a bike on the road so which is why I decided to bite the bullet and go with this with a a lot of thought, good thing about two strokes is they are well tuneable so I can see what I can get of the engine

@Darty as just said in previous comment two stokes tune up up well so can see what I can do there,
There was some damage to the case yes but the rest of the case is solid may be able to something to it to repair.
I had 3 options for the build for more power there 3et engine the 3xp and a Athena I can’t justify the Athena because I can just get a 200 engine for similar price sell my old and get money back but I couldn’t get a 3xp and as said previous just dying get on the road :face_savouring_delicious_food:
Definitely going be amazing bike once finished I’m 110% sure of that

Done some work to the engine today started to strip,
internal condition is looking good need some fly wheel pullers to remove the fly wheel and stator so i pull case apart so I can carry on
Will be changing the bearings, seals and a general clean up of all the internal parts.
New piston also
Will also Aqua blast the case clean up and spray black for that old school look!
More updates to follow!

Bit of a update had a little play today started to clean up the kickstand switch unsure if to paint Matt black or gloss black or silver decisions decisions

@mhbikesnbits There's nothing like a freshly powder coated frame to get ya wanting more parts to fit to her.

@NINJA you got that right bud

Meh no real progress as yet to share ordered a set of flywheel pullers and they weren’t deep enough reach the thread and hit the shaft so can’t carry on with the engine, yam bits to the rescue and ordered one specifically for the dt200r
-
Had these done a while ago from a guy off eBay replica 80s yz style graphics gave him the idea and he produced them for me going be a nice touch on the bike obviously a while till I can use them
-
@Mightyman said in My DT125 80s Yz style DT200 build one to watch!:

Cheers bud appreciated, the vaqua is a amazing price of kit, not sure if aloud if not let me know and I can remove it but you can contact me privately if your interested in some parts doing
