Dt 125 re 2007
-
Can any body help me I've just got a dt that's been stood years cleaned carb and it runs well but it gets hot quick ice done thermostat and coolant I've noticed the snorkel has been taken of the engine has only 1000 miles from new but I can't work out why it's getting so Hot the temp light hasn't come on it's 2007 should my front pipe get hot I mean smoking hot any help would be great
-
It's gotta be two stroke smoke coming from the exhaust surely? Perhaps a small leak? What exhaust system does it have?
-
It's standard it seems to get really hot it runs well and goes well I've always ridden two stroke motocross bike and they always run cool but this do seems hot to the point where I can see heat waves of the front pipe doesn't boil over though
-
Head Gasket?
-
I had thought that but it would spit the coolant out of the overflow of it was that and it doesn't at all the exhaust just gets really hot
-
@reecesloane-2017 How hot. I mean yeah it's going to get hot. The exhaust is exposed to the combustion flame...
There isn't a temperature gauge on the RE so is the light coming on?
It could be the water pump failing.
Or simply a faulty temperature sender...
-
It gets hot to the point where I can smell
It burning and feel the heat of it but it doesn't boil the coolant it the light doesn't come on I'm just worried about it heat seizing I thought the restrictions in the standard pipe would make it heat up I've got a yz 250 and I could put my hand on the pipe after hours of riding if I did it on the dt it would be serious the bikes only done a few hundred miles from new coolant is circulati g -
mine gets hot on a roads when going flat out it burns the paint off the exhaust from the manifold to just after the bend but it been like that since ive had it change exhaust as thought it may be slightly blocked as was blowing the rubber joint every week but still the same after new exhaust but only does this on A roads flat out aroun town it is fine hope this helps

@britshgigolo
How hot does your silencer get revenge that is to hot to touch after a shot ride -
must admit never felt the silencer but will check when i get to work tomorrow morning but have melted many rubber conectors now have made pipe longer so silencer and exhaust dont have the slight gap and use a silicon hose reducer and have not melted and poped anymore conectors
-
Light isn't coming on?
Right mate Yeah it's fine you are worrying over nothing.
It's not a crosser the standard pipe is solid and absorbs lots of heat. I remember mine absolutely stank when I rode it home down the motorway.
But once it was home it was fine. As said that's just normal, the cat will cause the engine to run hot anyway.
-
Does the standard pioe have a cat ? Dint k own that I'm gunna do away with that pipe
buy a dep -
@Calum light hasn't come on yet
-
@reecesloane-2017 Yeah mate. I got a thread on here about removing it. Don't. It's a royal pain the ass.
The stock pipe has a huge honeycombe system in it. It stinks when hot lol.
But it's a quality pipe.
-
Thanks for the help buddy almost put my mind at rest is it normal to see heat waves from the front pipe
I was really worried about jetting because the snorkel removed and the boost bottles -
@reecesloane-2017 Put the snorkel back in, I do have one for sale actually.
And the boost bottle, also have the inlet one for sale. I must have the boot one lying about as well!
Yeah the pipe is going to get hot because it retains so much heat due to its thickness and material, as such yes you will see heat waves.
-
Awesome how much you wanting for the bigger boost bottle the front one and the snorkel mines an 07 btw

The snorkel is modified so that it will let in more air, but not disrupt the air flow.
It may not be what you're after.
The boost bottle is in fine condition.
For forum members I would do both of them for £15, so long as you don't buy it through eBay lol and I get charged shed loads of fees.
Just let me know here and I will take down the eBay ad.
-
I'll take the boost bottle
Please mate I've found a standard snorkel -
@reecesloane-2017 Nice, I'll do the boost bottle for £8 if you're happy with that?
