    Did you try the powervalve trick I just told you about?

    I know that the restrictions on the UK models differ from overseas models, so I am not familiar with what restrictions there are on other regions.

    Either way, grabbing yourself a Zeeltronic ignition system will make all of these problems disappear and you'll gain a noticeable midrange boost.

      @Calum Havent tried the powervalve trick you just told me about, will try in the weekend. So when I unplug the powervalve, to what rpm should the bike spin? Same 8k but without bottom end or higher?

      How much is the Zeeltronic ignition system?

        It should rev to the redline.

        Depends on where you get your Zeel from, I paid £200 for mine, but that was like 12+ years ago.

          Hello!

          Enjoying the bike alot! Installed adjustable levers, changed motor oil, bike works great! But what I’ve noticed, the days it is hotter (above 30c). The temperature starts climbing quick when standing at red lights(3-4 minutes of sitting at one place), if I drive its okay, needle sits just under half. I have mostly city driving, how do you guys battle this issue, possible to install a fan or a coolant sevice should help enough?

            DTRs do seem to run very hot in my experience. Always have, wouldn't worry about it.

            My Aprilia RS usually sits around the 60 degree mark, I run a Vapor Trail Tech unit on my DTRE and it's ready 110 before!

            To combat this, I removed the thermostat and now it sits around the 60-70 mark, just note you do really need to be careful when warming them up to ensure you don't cold-seize the engine.

              Ah okay, i plan to refurbish the cooling system anyway. So it is better to remove the thermostat if I have mostly city driving? I only start puhsing the bike a bit more when i see the needle move

                Well the best thing to do is to check to ensure that the thermostat is working correctly. You can remove it and place it into a sauce pan and check to see if it correctly opens at the right temperature when left to boil.

                If your daily commuting the bike, then leaving the thermostat in is advisable. Yamaha know what they're doing.

                If you start tuning the bike and pushing it beyond its original specifications, then you may want to consider removing it.

                The thermostat isn't just there to aid heating up of the engine, it also has a role in providing pressure in the cylinder head to avoid pocket stagnation of gases. So it's actually important it's fitted.

                I just noted that these engines do run warm and removing the thermostat allowed my bike to run at a more consistent temperature when under load.

                  Hey again!

                  Did a coolant flush, looks like it holds temperature more stable now, it came out dark and brown.

                  Also continued chasing the 8k rpm limit issue, today I took apart the YPSV pulley and looked at the dot on the shaft marking, looks like it is in the right position? Below i attached two videos, one showing how far i can manually move the shaft left and right and the other one shows how much the servo moves the valve, to me it looks like it does not move the valve that much? Havent taken off the exhaust as I have not yet received the exhaust gasket and Im on the bike everyday so I dont want to have downtime.

                  Covered 1100km so far, changed the chain guide, rear tube blew out, 3D printed the front disc guard, changed the seat from black to pink 🙂

                    Now that im looking at a few clips on youtube, judging by the video below, my bike pulls harder 5-7k rpm compared to this, also at 100kmh Im nowhere near the rpm he is at in 6th. Is it possible that my RPM gauge is just lying?

                      Disc guard looks great.

                      Yeah sadly these bikes aren't going to pull your arms off or anything. They're pretty decent at what they are though however.

                      Lovely colour scheme on yours for sure!

                        Hm, any idea why the rpm gauge would lie? I did notice that the needle is bouncy not stable, but I thought that is normal for a 30 year old bike lol.

                        Is it true that one of the restrictions is a washer inside the exhaust chamber?
