@NINJA England

@irongamer727 radiator bled it had 3 big air bubbles in it took for a long ride and it was brilliant no over heating @Calum i spent some time tensioning the pv pulleys properly cleaned and re gapped the plug cleaned the power jet and it was great loved it the power comes on at 6 now instead of 7 truly appreciate your help and every one else’s thank you lads

@olliedtx12s is your battery dead?

there are some companies that make the looms for the older dts I was thinking I should brought one but didn’t have the money to brought it at the time as I brought some other things when I brought my other bike

@declan

Fired right up and running good more to follow

@CYBER-NINJA 

Running better now still not finished but this is how it looks ------>

@oldman yeah it’s definitely noticeably better I’m guessing my stator was on it’s way out since I got the bike the more I run it the better it gets

@NINJA , few update pics, still very much a work in progress note the muffler and shock
https://imgur.com/a/N8osube

Just painted mine tonight I’d recommend powder coat where ever you can it’s just the best

@mhbikesnbits so sweet and your spare engine looks better than my good engine

https://imgur.com/a/OT4SR9R
The yoke looks mint irl but it doesn’t show through on the camera it’s a wrinkle black paint which will be my accent paint for the bike and of course it had to be gold rims the gold is the faded vintage colour that I like

@Calum if your looking for secure storage I can take your dt off your hands and make sure it's ridden and not sat around gathering dust?

Maybe @Calum should do monthly give always of dt parts at random

@ninja I agree with sgt joining this forum was the best thing I could have done for many reasons @Calum think of Haynes as a console and the forum as a pc lol

Just looked at the price and now I'm thinking my exhaust is fine

@Mightyman I seem to have fixed it just a case of some decent clamps but not ridden it yet so fingers crossed

@oldman mine are so much worser I’ve seen better condition metal on time team

@declan ![0_1503 759495939_IMG

@ninja bet he goes through wallets like anything with all the friction of taking money out lol

@calum I did but I’m sure it will be comfy enough or I’ll get a metal basket for the front and we can just go straight ET style

@ninja that’s not a big one that looks stock to me I have a big one and that has a dep fit perfect on it

Thanks to @oldman i now have spark my flywheel did come loose and shear off my woodruff key so I have one on order I’ll check you back in a few days lol

@oldman wow

@louis-james finally cheap partzzzzzzzz

@samratboy you see the little arrows next to quote you press the up and it up votes the post from what I gather it's kind of a like feature

@r11ys-d search unit 5 on fb they import loads of beautiful dts and tdrs all sorts

@CYBER-NINJA honestly it's gonna be more cost affective and easier to keep it as spares

@Calum

@Mightyman thank you hopefully it actually rides now and if it does there will soon be a nice big bore on it

@Calum gotta love that sound

https://youtu.be/SdjEarivTtM

@calum wow it's like I'm looking at my self trapped in cyberspace

@Darty well the heat cycles are important I get that but 500 miles what if it's not an on road bike it would take me all year to break it in

@castrolsniffer will do now I know what it is thanks.

@panmil92 the small supercharger would be your powervalve activating and also I suspect the metallic noise is also your powervalve bushing wearing out

@NINJA not a clue but luckily it’s not a problem

@glynn123 they can fail although it is pretty rare I think they have way more positives I’d never disconnect mine I wish all bikes came with an optional oil fed system

@BraDT thats how you take it apart bud

@irongamer727 well the description of the carb says 38 pilot but it has a 50 in mine so I’ll just get a 38 like it should have and it should be good thank you for your time mate

@sgt-robuck-5 what area you live in bud?

@oldman yeah I walked away seller was a prick anyway lol

@mightyman I'm pretty sure he's ripping the piss outta me but who knows I appreciate the support lol

@rnmeister new member? If so create a post tell us a bit about you and your ride if you want

@terry-tz then where will I get my cheap parts from, no no not AMAZON

@terry-tz well I love eBay kind of an addiction really but that's a bit shite

@zrako that would work as long as it's trusted members only i.e. Not newbies you know for security sakes

@declan your very lucky matey and I'm glad your alright maybe some nice road tyres coujd be a good upgrade?

I just brought that for 45 nice and knobbly but the sides are on a slant for really good corner grip on road not fitted yet but is a real nice tyre

@terry-tz you wanna settle this man to man

@terry-tz clearly your full throttle everywhere lol

@andrewj1680 criminal

@calum I know mate I mean hurry up and get it out seems such a tragedy that the poor bike you put so much time and money into isn't being thrashed

@micheal-cox generally speaking you want to keep your snorkel and there isn't much need to upjet in my opinion

@terry.tz I guess I've gotta try it and see for my self!

@CYBER-NINJA I will do some testing by restricting air flow and getting a new cdi

@finnerz89

@declan btw please take note it's in the jokes section

@Calum I've got those hooked up to a hud on my helmet visor

@NINJA I live in a chav breeding ground I can attest that’s pretty accurate

@ninja shame really done right it would look lovely but it’s been butchered

@ninja that will be the fact there’s no space for an air filter

@andrewj1680 on it right now and no decent seem to be and it always lands on the open position crazy how much different the bike sounds when it's open

@dragony2k mines 50% Cable ties I like to think that it's weight reduction

@ukchad

Another 1990 welcome! Ignore the sticker bomb and the rear wheel got a puncture in my wheel and chipped paint underneath the sticker bomb lol

@oldman nah something to do with v-tec

Damn why couldn’t I get admin tools I could have went through everyone’s posts and replaced bought with brought

@Louis-James you made that headlight guard right?

@terry.tz pics?

@declan and no there was a guy on here that had a piston too small and it looked normal but still slapped the barrel when cold but ran good when warm

@Calum you can get the same graphics kit as that bike on eBay for 40 pound see them all the time

@dazzagtir "girls" what ya tryna say lol

@Darty we kinda miss ya around here

@bradt best way is to run premix in your bike while running with the autolube full bleed the lines there will be a rubber blanking cap on the pump pull that off While the bike is running on premix and when the air bubbles stop coming out plug it back up then watch the flow coming from the pump to engine best use clear lines so you can see the air bubbles then when there’s no bubbles your good to switch back to autolube fully

@calum I do mine with the shaft still in and it’s way easy bud

@calum it hasn’t worked for ages for me but imgur is easy enough

@killersbeez sorry but that's kinda funny

@declan and welcome to the forum buddy glad to have you

@killersbeez rustless is always good lol nice bike mate

@tzr2503xv the 450 interest me can I see a pic please?

@cyber-ninja sorry mate I only just got your pun haha better late than never

@cyber-ninja yes that was priority but guess what the dude who did my tyre put it on agains rotation and after half hour I already have cuts in it so I've banned my self from my bike till I get it sorted Monday hopefully

@cyber-ninja we will have no sexual favours on this forum thanks

@declan screw it ive just brought the white one so I don't over think and end up doing my head in hopefully it looks good thank you for your time!

@DTR-NSR terrible.

@NINJA it’s 2019 you can’t make assumptions of gender on the internet anymore

@terry-tz well at the end of the day until I blow a piston due to a lubrication problem the oil is doing its Job and I thrash my bike

@calum a good exhaust on a 125. Unlocks the bike but I’ve hear the wr 125 and the rc 125 big bore exhaust and no joke they are louder than a 450 can’t stand them a good exhaust isn’t overly loud they are perfect it’s the stupid Subaru size exhausts that are stupidly loud

@tdrgreg2 pfft neighbours who needs em

@terry-tz you could do what I done and paint the exhaust black no rust tgen my big one was almost trash but I sanded and painted and it’s like new

@terry.tz I'm always here lad

@declan![0_14995

@Mightyman literally riding and snap almost fell off as you can imagine handling was affected

@NINJA only 20 pound but a bit of a ball ache to install when I have the money I’ll buy a set and just swap the bearing race out probably after it’s built up and finished though

@calum I thought it said where not when

@declan don’t use any glue don’t try do both sides at the same time staple the very back to keep the leather centred then staple one side of the Yamaha writing then go over the the other Yamaha side and stretch the leather while pulling forward in the same motion toward the tank side staple that good then I’d do the same to the other Yamaha side take the staples back out if need be and just repeat and do that the entire length

@calum it's a pretty crazy thought kinda like going mudding without an air filter lol

@perithtv well if you ride it on a field with missing spokes you will ruin your rims

@perithtv well you could always ride it with the missing spokes just don't hit no bumps

@CYBER-NINJA 66 on that site with free delivery

@Calum yeah I'm the best at everything don't you worry

@NINJA I guess so if you want them if I go dark for a while be sure to contact someone they’re all yours

@Darty ive never ridden a track so I’m good there I’m just gonna run it I don’t really care if it fails it’s only me who gets hurt

@calum thanks bud and the dt is in my bad books right now after pushing it miles at 4 in the morning so I don’t think it deserves it right now

@zrako I guess what ever works but if my piston and crank last to when they are supposed to is the oil still shit? And not only that I'm running cheap oil I can't afford any better but how many of you have run the best and blew your top ends I haven't blew one and I run cheap stuff

@louis-james there's probably grounds for it if you showed the pics to a novice you could pass it as a real dt but if you know them then you see the obvious differences

@declan

@terry-tz ![0_150402

New tyre yo

@terry-tz I think I got the jist if it after a while so the Evans stuff even at max temp you can remove the rad cap?

@terry-tz tyanks bud turns out the clip wasn't quite plugged in still lands open but when started it closed then opens back up when revved must have come loose while riding

@Zrako thanks lads

@NINJA it should do

Okay, looks like the problem is the ignition coil when I remove the wire and kick the bike it shocks me yet when I connect it back up the plug still doesn’t spark I already have one on order so I’ll update when I’ve fitted it...(edit- by remove the wire I mean the direct feed from the cdi to the ignition

@NINJA the wires are colour coded and I marked every wire that was important to the starting and running of the engine

7mm did the trick for the front it should be the same size as the rear, so for future reference(m7-1mm pitch thread-27mm long) they fit perfect

@ninja don’t mean to be mean but those discs really don’t do it for me they’re not wavey enough but that’s just me

@NINJA sorry to say I didn’t i take my o rings very seriously I’m quite anal about o rings

@Calum you mocking me m9?

@Calum it's working now bud thanks can you get v force reeds for the dt I just whooped some guys ass in a race but he said get some v force reeds and re jet

@Zrako appreciate it I did the same as you only with no bleed valve I'll give it a go thank you.

@Calum well I'm hooked on my dt I was not expecting it to have that much power and speed but not only that but how smooth the gearbox is and how comfy the bike is I love it already.

@ninja I run an outerwears pre filter on my pitbike They are a life saver water can still make it through but it takes a while it’s litteraly the same material as a shower curtain so if buy an entire curtain and get hundreds of filters from it

@irongamer727 could be something as simple as loose rivets in your exhaust

@nottsbiker that's beatiful I haven't seen a tdr that I truly like but that one is it

@cyber-ninja yes sorry should have clarified yeah it's essentialy a win win for them

@calum why you gotta do this to me no it wasn't

@anthonypearson I'd say pv not opening mine did it cause of a dead battery the other day and it was horrible like a cheap 4 stroke make sure it's opening bud

Yeah I too have this way to beat it is to shift into first before you come to a dead stop and my brand new bikes have also done this so I don't think it's a problem

@calum not at all I've got it down to either fueling under load or weak spark under load as on the garden it's okay but if I take it out and select 2nd the bike comes to a stop at the end of the gear then after that it starts running weird like a splutter withough the noise if you know what I mean then I have to push it as it won't ride at all but will still run and rev

@Zrako my bikes clog up on idle give it a nice few revs to clear it out

@Calum I know it's my doing but I had to fit and adjuster so it's all done now

@terry.tz I know who does he think he is bud

@NINJA not massively fond of the colours tbh it’s more of the retro styling

@NINJA don’t blame him

@NINJA pricey though ey?

@Calum ohhh I thought it was just me

My forum had been down for a good few days and now I’m noticing issues with my notifications I have to manually check threads to see my replies.

@NINJA https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-DT-125-1991-TO-PRESENT-FULL-GRAPHICS-KIT-DECALS-STICKERS-MX-DT/264267381674?_trkparms=aid%3D1110001%26algo%3DSPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180213162448%26meid%3Dd224b92f91bd40108e6c57b690321cb1%26pid%3D100930%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dlo%26sd%3D264267384276%26itm%3D264267381674%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2332490&_trksid=p2332490.c100930.m5375

@NINJA they have a bit of a chavvy wiff to them don’t you think?

@NINJA

@oldman damn what kind of a clown steals side panels

@oldman love the grey swing arm

@oldman yeah it’s definitely noticeably better I’m guessing my stator was on it’s way out since I got the bike the more I run it the better it gets

My indicator issue is found my relay connector is shorting out causing the issue.

@oldman no idea about performance, it all depends on what your going for I personally think that to go to the effort that you have to make it original it would almost be a shame not to use a standard exhaust,

A quick video with the new stator @oldman, been busy trying to sort indicators which I thought I had done but when I got my new dt battery they didn’t work they flash extremely fast to the point where it’s a solid light if anyone has any ideas I’d appreciate your input.
https://imgur.com/a/SNufA6s

@NINJA I live in a chav breeding ground I can attest that’s pretty accurate

@pitracer1979 do you have your air box on with all joints connected to the carb nice and tight?

@Calum feels a lot faster and smoother on my end

@oldman always something isn’t they

@DTR-NSR terrible.

@DTR-NSR get em sorted!

@andrew1990 not brilliant is it mate lol

@andrew1990 I don’t know of any active members that run the 170 your best bet is emailing Athena directly and ask them

@HassePallisgaard the autolube is really good unless you have good reason don’t mess with it

Thanks to @oldman i now have spark my flywheel did come loose and shear off my woodruff key so I have one on order I’ll check you back in a few days lol

@oldman let’s hope we don’t have a revisit of the wheel saga lol

@oldman that’s amazing thank you, and yes of course it’s okay, pm sent

@Walney-Reptiles it’s so nice!

@ward4014 take it to your bike shop have them measure it and buy a piston while you are there

@oldman I paid 50 for a non oem one

@oldman apologies I’ve been really busy, yes just like that I believe mine is 3rm 00

@oldman definitely the dtr one

@oldman spare part bins are the best and thanks

@oldman he’s being way too cagey

@oldman https://imgur.com/a/KsJbbFi

@oldman I need the entire stator set up, I was wanting just the coil responsible for the spark but on my year that can’t be replaced

Do you guys reckon the re/x stator set up would fit the dtr

At 2k ohms on my dtr stator I’m getting .822, on my dtx stator I’m getting .223 this is measured at the source coil Haynes checked and it tells me the dtx stator is good but the dtr stator is very bad, unless I have done something wrong it’s looking like I’m after a new source coil

@Calum thanks, so my Haynes only mentions the resistance tests for my charging and lighting coil but I’m not interested in them why is there no info on the source coil

@NINJA

7mm did the trick for the front it should be the same size as the rear, so for future reference(m7-1mm pitch thread-27mm long) they fit perfect

@johnaitken1983 much appreciated bud

@johnaitken1983 thank you, it’s autotek Bedliner you can find it on eBay

@Calum that’s wild

So much conflicting info lol, I managed to find it but didn’t re use it I measure it with my vernier and it measured to around 6.60 ish mm so I rounded that up to 7mm and ordered those, I did this same method with bolts I ordered with the bike so it should be correct we will see, for one dt specific one it was £6.50 for 4 unspecified ones it was £3.99.
Also @NINJA i tried a pitbike one and another off an idle bike and both were the same size and that was too big.

Does anyone know the size of the front bleed nipple mine is lost. TIA

@NINJA thank you!

@Calum pretty sure it’s impossible not to love carbon fibre

@panmil92 the small supercharger would be your powervalve activating and also I suspect the metallic noise is also your powervalve bushing wearing out

@NINJA noice

@Calum gross

@NINJA it’s 2019 you can’t make assumptions of gender on the internet anymore

@Jgb19830 I doubt that will make a difference but who knows

@Jgb19830 let me know how you get on

@Calum that would be sweeeeeet,TPI?

@NINJA very “slick” your on a “roll”

@NINJA yeah well my rims will be better just you wait

@Calum you got a part number bud?

@Calum old post but do you still have that link?

@Darty we kinda miss ya around here

@itstom yeah I wouldn’t use that pump after it’s been in petrol you just don’t know if the seals are rated for petrol maybe they are but your putting you entire engine on the line

@AndyJay was it wet out?

@NINJA only 20 pound but a bit of a ball ache to install when I have the money I’ll buy a set and just swap the bearing race out probably after it’s built up and finished though

@oldman it’s hard to say it looks like they were all changed together unless someone damaged one and had another lying around

@oldman I haven’t changed them they were already in the bike but they’re like new

@Calum yeah the race bud I’m leaving it for another day

@Calum is it just normal vibration or does it cause issues if it’s not all balanced

@Calum I gotcha, but the cup moves if you touch it that said the cups new all the bearings are new there’s no play at all abs it’s smooth as butter I call this one good

Consulted my Haynes and I’m happy that the ball bearings require that gap, as for the cup it states it’s an interference fit I’m not sure if that’s the same as a press fit

So I just looked at my headstock bearing they’re in perfect condition look new but the top ball bearings there was a ball sized gap Is that normal or am I missing one? Next question the lower bearing cup is not a pressed fit like my husky is it supposed to press into the frame when the assembly is tightened down?

@claws I’d leave it mate, you may get infinitely lucky and pick a set up that directly bolts in but the chances of that would be extremely slim as per @Calum guide you need custom spacers etc it’s not the worst thing in the world to do but you need to be committed to the job and doing it properly you can’t really short cut this

Yeah it’s been out all day for me

@Calum I’m just horsing around

@Calum I’d personally take it off be way better without it I did it to mine but must have a fouled plug or something because I have no spark so not able to test it yet

@Nottsbiker I’m not suprised lol I respect the bodge though

@Glynn123 I do really like the water cooled engine for looks it’s one of those timeless designs imo

Has anyone used this type I can’t picture In my head the way you pack the loose type and I’m not sure If it’s better than the normal roll style, any other input on exhaust packing in general is welcome thanks.

@Glynn123 what you got against air cooled boi?

@Irongamer727 yeah but they last forever the 650s watercooled too so that’s an advantage although I prefer air cooled as there’s less to go wrong

@Calum hope when you die someone doesent turn you into a lawn mower poor dt didn’t have a choice

@Nottsbiker waste of a dt

@Irongamer727 I want one of those too I’m too much of a cheepskate to actually buy one so if anyone is giving one away hit your boy up

@Bananper let me guess without even clicking the link it’s the sft half dt half pitbike wheel barrow type mess?

@Calum yeah last time I ride was only for a few minutes and thanks @Calum @NINJA

@NINJA I’ve still got them not lost interest though it’s just not possible for me to ride I’m still wrenching on them . https://imgur.com/a/0XbZKTE

@NINJA funnily no lol no bikes no woman for a long time

@NINJA not ridden anything in quite a while

@NINJA a set of rough condition sm’s popped up and I was tempted I’ve always wanted to sm the dt but I don’t ride anymore then the fact of the brakes not working put me off completely

@NINJA ahhh I see thanks for clearing that up

So if I have a pair of the sm wheels from the x do they fit straight up to the other models as in you don’t need different brake set ups and what’s a set of dt sm wheels worth

@Calum I have a sofa in my work shed

@NINJA fallen out with the husky but fallen in love with you

@DTR-NSR yes +1 on this @Bananper check the rubbers make sure they’re not brittle bend them and check for little cracks that can be really well hidden

@Bananper if there’s not a blockage or a restriction the pump will bleed it’s self over time if you have pre mix in it,

@Minia well he was riding it with no oil prior to that though wasn’t he

@jayz86 you need to wait till it says 100 before uploading the pic

@Blaze-Vile yes so even though you put oil in you were still riding with no oil for all of those 60ft

@NINJA what about the Chinese special would the glass swap over

Imo prox are on par with mitaka rings shouldn’t melt even if you had an eBay special 20 pound piston

It’s a little silly really I don’t see why numbers matter it’s the db that counts and the dt is so quiet even without the muffler

@Calum don’t hate the player hate the game as far as I’m concerned it’s not illegal if you have no malicious intent. You can’t have two vins in use though I’m sure they’d realise something’s a miss

@Calum heads really aren’t expensive I see them all the time for 30 pound but that said I’d be more than happy to run that head

@Calum yeah you could normally get away with a few dents but that’s completely savaged lol

@Calum does he maybe mean he engine braked?

@jakeyboy due to oil being thin when hot the force of the wind can push the oil all over the place

No matter which way you cut it they cost money but just because you pay extra for a nice one doesent mean it’s going to be any better than the cheaper one it just means you have less money to fix the faults you find, I’d just buy the one you like most and don’t look back lol

@Calum didn’t think it was when you said West I thought you were closer than I thought oh well probably for the best bike thievery is everywhere this end in fact just 2 hrs ago an unmarked ran over a bike they were chasing

@Calum I didn’t mean that exact lol yeah your quite far from me still

@Calum where exactly Calum I’m walsall

@Calum that picture pisses me off all that damage and hassle to the real owner just to leave it in a field doesent even look like it was ridden what’s the point

@NINJA fine for me today

@jamesrandall93 crazy, pretty cheap fix atleast

@jamesrandall93 nah I bet it’s something silly its certainly is strange though fingers crossed for you

@jamesrandall93 I’d like to bet a fouled plug the bikes act weird before the plug goes either that or the carb is a miss, but that description is pretty vague like Calum said, was it raining or wet? When you say you felt like 5th had gone how so? Was the bike easy to start back up after the garage stop?

@Glynn123 yeah but I’ve heard loads over the years about what you have to do to push the bikes without getting it impounded but the problem is practices change from one police branch to another and my specific police impound no matter what they essentially do what they want all of the main criminals and such have the police payed off so there’s no way I’d chance a near 2 grand bike)

@NINJA yeah bud because technically it’s still an uninsured bike on a public highway we don’t have very nice police around here most of them are corrup as is

@stinkwheeler cylinders nice and all but those purple knives are cleannnnnn!

@NINJA no they take the bikes even if you push them that’s what I used to do as I ride off road on dis used fields I can’t really use this bike for riding as I don’t ride on road as such I only ride on road to get over to the fields which are just at the top of my road but this is a super Moto and it’s quite deadly on grass

@NINJA when ever I’ve checked the plug it’s always show slightly rich but the carb has big problems it’s very strange

Well I ride illegally anyway that’s not exactly the issue the bike is heavily unreliable and the last thing I want is to overheat with a copper on my arse, also it was quite late when I wrote that so screw you guys

Is it possible for me to do a plug chop on my garden by riding out 1st gear putting load on the motor with a bit of front brake

@Glynn123 from what I’ve seen I think they’re amazing

@Calum I know man but it would be cool to have

@Calum forum merch is what you need

@Minia used to work fine for me the update took it off and haven’t tried it back on

@Bluestoesonnose you heard don’t know how you lot cope without my expertise... I’m joking of course

@Minia I believe it’s on the frame tube under the rear of the mudguard

@Bluestoesonnose no dumb ass it’s a clutch lever

@NINJA sorry to say I didn’t i take my o rings very seriously I’m quite anal about o rings

@NINJA you’d know

@2stroketerry the only bike I didn’t have a problem with was a yz 125 that was no issues what so ever

@Calum none of that worked for me they wouldn’t sit still the last one I did I used the lightest amount of super glue just enough to keep it in the groove and that worked any other time and it would always slip out an pinch the ring I should add this is on the cheap replica rs cylinders so the machining wasn’t exactly flawless

@2stroketerry I’m surprised you lot like the o rings I hate them with a passion I love the simple metal one like dt has I’m always having leaks and such from poorly fitted o rings even though I try my best to fit them perfectly

@oldman mine barely smoked it didn’t smoke at all when warm

@Louis-James nahhh not if you find out the diameter of your old muffler then restrict the tip of the muffler to the same spec on the 200 pipe) that’s obviously how it works don’t try tell me any different I’m clearly a genius

@Calum I saw progressive springs on eBay fem months back for the dt

#blamecal

@stobbsie levers are generally universal I use pitbike ones some times

@NINJA well I’m over 75 days old if that counts?

@NINJA can you take 50p instalments every month?

@NINJA if Calum bans me I’ll start my own forum called 125 dtr and poach you all and bribe you into my site kinda like Michael did from the office lol

@NINJA brought

there are some companies that make the looms for the older dts I was thinking I should brought one but didn’t have the money to brought it at the time as I brought some other things when I brought my other bike

@NINJA not a clue but luckily it’s not a problem

@NINJA I don’t see why the seal wouldn’t work because it works on the dt but I guess it must be the the pressure

@Calum I prefer the new duke I’m sooo happy they changed the styling to be the same as the 1200etc hated the old baby duke styling

@Calum they really are the dt stock cap is the exact same as the 250 only difference is there’s a sticker on the top from a shop called mad cat I think

@Calum I get that, as a tool it works

@Calum well if it’s the same design same pressure then why wouldn’t it be

@Calum boring 4 strokes though you know the 125s lack a certain excitement factor more practical but I’m not a fan of the 125 four stroke engine anything over that I like though

So I put my rad cap from the dt on my 250 and it leaked out the rad over flow so I switched back to the other one and it’s fine I don’t know why it wasn’t on a warm engine it was cold but If you revved it would come out faster both caps seem identical only the dt one tells the temp any explanation to this?

@oldman long time no see?

@NINJA any crosser more specifically my husky I can’t ride it for a while and can’t afford wheels but I’m just seeing what possibilities are out there

Am I right in thinking lads that any front mx wheel is interchangeable if the hub is the right spindle size and has the same size rotor then it’s just the matter of spacers

@Irongamer727 looks normal to me they’re pretty low in general

@Sgt-Robuck-5 I can’t get a bit in there as it’s recessed I paid 1,6 from a dealership I ain’t got no wiggle room for finds I can’t just buy a new wheel I wish I could right now I’ll run it I ripped it yesterday after jetting it and it’s awesome

@calum I thought they were called cups they’re pressed into the steering tube

What’s your opinions on re using the bearing cups if there in good condition

@calum fat bars are Lower generaly so the width doesent matter I’ve got some on my dt fit perfect I also have some high rise fat bars and I’m sure they would work too

@calum I do

@2stroke4smoke your joking right? He can’t sell his baby

@bradt coolant doesent dry I’ve had my fair share of leaks on hot engines and never seen it dry

@finnerz89

@jens-eskildsen thanks dudes

@finnerz89 nah your wrong

@calum (insert generic Australian accent) that’s not a tyre, THIS is a tyre!

@calum shut up

@louis-james my thoughts exactly

@bradt best way is to run premix in your bike while running with the autolube full bleed the lines there will be a rubber blanking cap on the pump pull that off While the bike is running on premix and when the air bubbles stop coming out plug it back up then watch the flow coming from the pump to engine best use clear lines so you can see the air bubbles then when there’s no bubbles your good to switch back to autolube fully

Does the a/f screwe affect the over all mixture or is it only the pilot for example let’s say I turn the screw all the way out would that make my main jet lean

@oldman they were on eBay one in gold then blue and silver about 20 pound but missed out on them they seem to have stopped selling em

@dtr2003 where’d you get the first muffler from I wanted one but I lost the eBay listing do you have a link?

@ninja that’s not a big one that looks stock to me I have a big one and that has a dep fit perfect on it

@jens-eskildsen thank you

@bradt I just levered it out with a small flat head cleaned up then pushed the other in I didn’t do nothing special but taking out the shaft is sensible just not for me

@2stroketerry what gains should I expect from doing the overbore and porting

@2stroketerry very cool I love all the little Frankenstein things you can do to engines

@irongamer727 it removes the restricted rev limiter on the bike

@pjt95 be careful I have an aftermarket tap and the reserve is really small

@timprice not the most knowledgeable but I’d be inclined to think it is the CDI but don’t take my opinion as law

@glynn123 me too lol was thinking maybe 21

@irongamer727 lol rip mr nut

@2stroketerry well maybe my experience it bet my cat on it being the dog bone semi seized

@2stroketerry have you cleaned and greased your dog bone bushings mine were dry and full of dirt so my rear suspension was non existent im talking nothing at all

@ninja well duh everyone knows ducks add horsepower

@calum what do you mean bud it’s litteraly the same material

@ninja hell no

@ninja I run an outerwears pre filter on my pitbike They are a life saver water can still make it through but it takes a while it’s litteraly the same material as a shower curtain so if buy an entire curtain and get hundreds of filters from it

@mightyman not just me then lol cheers

@irongamer727 I see it now it wasn’t there for me yesterday was well confused lol

@calum a picture then?

@ninja I wouldn’t know I can’t swim

@calum is there a link I’m missing?

@ninja don’t mean to be mean but those discs really don’t do it for me they’re not wavey enough but that’s just me

@bananper I can’t remember I think I just grabbed the cheapest ebc pads they were gold coloured

@calum put new pads on mine with braided lines and I couldn’t want a better set up mine are perfect

Thanks for the subject move bud

@calum that’s really cool I’ve never done a crank so I can’t picture where the deals would be

Does anyone know where to find these in England I can find one seller in America but postage is a bit much since the part it’s self is cheap if I can skip the postage charge then it’s money saved but I can’t seem to find any the ones from America are around 14 pound

@calum that’s what I usually do but my clamps missing I’m getting there though

I’ve never seen brake like these ones they have a piston adjacent to each other so each pad gets a piston one of the pistons look stuck anyone familiar with these brakes and the best way to unstick them IE do I force the good piston down so the other one is forced to move

@rolz82 the dtr manual features the tdr mate

@calum nothing a cable tie can’t fix

@calum man this is pretty fancy stuff good work mate

@calum I got it for Christmas and it’s shockingly small and I keep getting killed by sub machine guns through a fookin tank I mean com on

@calum nah it oil cooled bud I just put some 10w40 in the top and it runs good

@calum I could run you through my PS4 build it came in a box I plugged it in... fin

@calum my mind was blown for 90% of what you just wrote lol but I understand what you mean now

@calum probably gonna hurt your feeling but I prefer the look of the razor keyboards I forget the model name but they light up different colours

@calum I guess after all the time and money you really need to use it don’t you

@calum wow your kind of like an evil genius with this stuff aren’t you lol so you use that keyboard full time? Almost a shame if it’s a one off

@declan since you came from console is the key board easy to use for running and stuff I’ve only games on a terrible laptop getting 13 frames on left for dead lol it was litteraly stop motion

@calum I’ve seen it lol I zoomed in on it when you showed us your chair thinking wtf is that lol now that rig is do able if I sell a bike

@calum I might have to differ a little I think 2 strokes being so in lack of better wording being so special? Not any tom dick and harry has one so when you see one built as a vintage bike as a new concept I just think it’s brilliant because it’s going against the direction of life, life wants every bike to be 4 stroke every old 2 stroke I see either restored or well used I just think it’s a really special bike you know the owner must really want and love that bike

@calum that’s pretty impressive I have tried those seats And I remember them being really nice

@Calum ahh I get it yes it’s gonna have to come off It’s getting annoying

@calum I’ll have to look that up,it’s getting worse bud I’m at 6k redline now just been on a big enduro ride and I can see now that the pv is retarding

@calum but have you ever set it up in the port then looked at the hole and the hole not be lined up? I’m gonna have to do that I think because it’s gotta be off

@calum I’m finding something interesting out bud I don’t know if you remember but when I first started posting about my dt I would complain that it only revs to 8.5 then hit limiter but since I’ve been adjusting the power valve so it lines up perfectly with the circle hole I’m only getting around 7.5k then redline which is making it difficult to ride off road I’m a little confused because I can physically hear the limiter sound but I’m certain it used to rev higher

@ninja I’ve read that a few times ans couldn’t find anything to help me out since I already have an exhaust and such

@sloanparkes I can never really find anything out other than an older CDI mines a 1990 but the engine must be newer as it redlines really early similar to yours

@ninja shame really done right it would look lovely but it’s been butchered

@ninja that will be the fact there’s no space for an air filter

@darty just wasn’t much thought put into it was they

@slinky I’ve never done it but forks are forks so look up a good tutorial it doesent have to be to specific

@nottsbiker yeah exactly if your planning on spending relationship ending amounts of money on bikes then you need a good solid shed or garage

@nottsbiker well mine was worse trust me but I managed to scrape by without going into crippling debt

@nottsbiker better to own a scrap bike than no bike at all lol and my bike came with the front calliper cable tied to the forks lol

@jens-eskildsen hahah then I'm no help to you if I happen to find any I'll drop a link

@declan http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-XL100-XL125-XL185-XL-250-XR200-PINK-FORK-BOOT-GAITORS-PROGRIP-SMALL-/401167992961?epid=736350772&hash=item5d6779c881%3Ag%3AZlIAAOSw6n5Xqfic&_trkparms=pageci%3Aac8ea3bd-8526-11e7-b794-74dbd18056de%7Cparentrq%3Afc6e69e615d0a861cf945e76fff41e87%7Ciid%3A1

@jens-eskildsen eBay have all sorts for cheap no idea about pink

I can get it up in 1st but run out of revs now in 2nd full revs drop the clutch what's the best form?

@Calum my front forks must be modified as they're pretty stiff

@Mightyman I've got the manual so I'll sort it thanks anyway

@Mightyman do you know how to change it to mph?

@Zrako I've got 1/4 turn I run the same one on all bikes but I didn't run the stock throttle so can't say if it's better but on my 4 stroke I can't live without it lol

@Zrako I run a cheap quick action throttle real smooth and all my bikes have them
