Top speed
-
Just out of curiosity what is the top speed you's are getting out of these? Mine does about 75 with 2 on but it won't do 80 even with jus myself.
-
@kennymurphy97 The best I've achieved is 77mph, but this week I'm struggling to get much over 70mph! I'm hoping it's just the high heat and humidity which is causing this???
-
@kennymurphy97 I get well over 80mph on my 97 DTR sm according to the stock clocks and about 70 mph on my 2001 according to the vapour speedo which I think is fairly accurate! could potentially get more if I played about with the sprocket sizes
-
About 75ish down a hill in 6th gear, i'll never believe anyone saying theirs goes over 90! However resistance between knobblies and sm tyres will make a difference i reckon on top speed
-
I could get somewhere between 80 and 85mph flat, quite regularly with Trail tyres on. Unstable mess over 80+,
like riding a sack truck down a mountain.

@CYBER-NINJA hah yeah.. Wish I had a GoPro sometimes
-
I've had just over 75, standard 1999 model just deristricted. Got a sat nav from the girlfriend for my birthday the other day so might check the accuracy of the factory clocks with it at some point

@Jens-Eskildsen Nice pig

Haha yeah. We are a few guys and a girl who have a little offroadclub called Mudhogs, so it seemed appropriate.... It even matches the pink bike
-
@Jens-Eskildsen Fair enough!! Sounds like a laugh. Love the pink DT's, they look so fitting for the 80's, early 90's. Get some gloves on though, remember what your natural instinct to do is when you fall over or even just fall off a bicycle; put your hands out, and the cuts and grazes from those, multiply the speed you're going on a motorbike compared to a bicycle and imagine your hands afterwards, not pretty!
Not meaning to sound like a dick or anything but I've learned the hard way and wouldn't want a fellow DTR rider to do the same

TDR 125 upjetted with stock exhaust and airbox opened up. There was still a little bit left to go though!

Haha, go on man ! She going alright

Fuck sake @MIGHTYMAN making me well Jealous.
I might have to get the BAN hammer out for that one!
-
75 mph on 2002 DT 125 R reed switch out of clock, have to say have been a lot faster on other bikes, but 75 mph felt like 140 mph lol, that front end gets light, my Uncle once had a go in a Audi Quattro as a passenger with a top rally driver. At the end the rally driver said well sir you at least know what Adrenalin is now its Brown and runs down your Leg LOL,I know how he felt now lol.
-
I did the clocks and was still pushing for more on my last dt but it had an Athena 170 kit on it
-
Two up it was off the clock but side by side with dad on a Fazer 600 he clocked me at 85mph. Don't think it would of done much more than that but for a 125 I was pretty happy with it!
