    • RE: Unusual vibrations

      Check they balanced the clutch properly as this also causes vibration if not built correctly,good luck bud 😉

    • RE: 2003 DTR 125 engine rebuild

      What year bike is it mate as the early dtr ran a bigger piston as standard 56.40
      The newer ones use 56.00 ,had this problem myself some years ago,the piston slapped around causing it to eventually shatter and scrape the valve on its way outta the exhaust port 😣 (I was young then tho haha)
      Definitely get the bore measured by a local engine shop,they won't charge u to tell u the size if ur nice to em😎
      Then u can buy a piston that fits £35-40 or have them bore it to the next size and supply a piston £75 WILL BE LIKE A NEW BARREL HAHA

    • RE: Is it easy to replace the front weel bearings

      Ah I see,get a long screwdriver and put it through one bearing so it touches the inside of other bearing and slowly tap it out,make sure to move the screwdriver so the bearing comes out strait

    • RE: Anybody had to do this ?

      Been on the RD sites and they are full of info on these bushes ????
      Shocked as I've done a lot of Dt's over the years and never had this problem.
      A firm called tss make billet power valves and bushes and there is talk of boring out old bushes and having a sleeve pressed in.

    • RE: Anybody had to do this ?

      Their not failing,they wear out and allow too much movement as in the vid,I've been building 2strokes for over 20 years and have only just come across this problem and thought it might help others out 😉

    • RE: Anybody had to do this ?

      Yh all new o-rings and oil seals in the PV but the bushes wear and let the PV move causing it to rub on the piston,it's not about shaving down your PV for rebore as even if it had lots of clearance when in correct position it is still able to move sideways and the rounded part of PV is then not inline with centre of piston and will catch the piston,not in the middle like when PV isn't shaved down after large rebore size but more like the side of exhaust port, also standard bore size is still susceptible.
      Anyone had this ?

    • RE: Recommendations on exhaust joining?

      +1 on the braided hose plus jubilee clips
      I go to the breakers and cut a big piece of any old car rad hoses and it will do about 5 bikes.
      Works every time 👍

    • Anybody had to do this ?

      Elo guys, has anyone had to replace their PV and bushes/holders ?
      It says on a lot of parts websites that this is a high wear item and should be replaced as a matter of course when rebuilding a fresh engine or if it has worn.
      I've just done a full rebuild on my nephews engine and the piston seems to be hitting the PV,it isn't because of the rebore or size of new piston etc as it's only on 0.5 OS.
      The valve has sideways play (can move valve in and out) and a little up n down play too.
      Just thought I would bring this to other people's attention 😉
      Hope this stops someone ruining a new engine or helps keep an old engine running.

    • RE: Emergency first aid to an DT 125 LC (34Y) 1984

      One of my dt carbs were like that,the best thing to remove it from all the delicate passage ways was acetone,soak it in a container with a lid because it's very flammable and the fumes creep until they find an ignition sorce

    • RE: can only select 2 gears.

      Just remove ur clutch first to see if it's a clutch issue,it could be a collapsed clutch BB etc
