That, plus the big bore means it'll need more fueling.
That exhaust wrap won't help with any rust.
Now I didn't actually find the rust that bad. It gets pretty how so is susceptible to a bit of corrosion. Generally just ACF-50 and a good clean and it'll have years of active use.
The WORST thing about that year DTR is the CDI. They are utterly restricted and no derestriction will overcome that.
So finding a 3RM CDI or going Zeeltronic will really make a difference to that.
Otherwise, looks like a sweet ride dude!

@Calum I understand what you're saying about the exhaust wrap, that also came already on the bike, I may take it off. As for the CDI it might have been changed already as it's a 3rm-30 which I'm led to believe is good also quite rare is it not? Also I might add the log book says first registered in the UK 2007 I was told it's a French import.

Markus, I also brought a french Import with the 3rm-30. I searched everywhere for info about it and there was hardly anything! I did find something in french which I translated, which basically said it’s Very rare but probably the best CDI available so I’d stick with it. I’ve just done the yvps and put a dep on mine. I’m About to finally get mine on the road so hopefully it’s all good!

@markus-w yep compared to the first time I took it out when it was completely stock, it’s a different bike completely now. Plenty fast enough for me and more than enough power in the power band. Have you moved the reed switch out Of the rev gauge?
