DT125R FORUM

Aww, that sounds sick. I live near the Forest of Dean which I imagine would be endless fun of cycling round there. But I've never been as I don't have anyway to transport push bikes over to there (40 ish mile). That does sound like hard work though, just keeping the bikes riding nicely

Yeah, I hear that the bargains at Lidl get great reviews.

For you guys in the UK: https://www.gpxmotouk.com/shop-gpx.html They have the parts to convert the DTR to 230cc, can probably get the complete engine too. If I was thinking of a engine rebuild and/or Athena 170, I would go for this instead, based on what I learned from the Athena 170 kit.

@HOTSHOT-III Yeah absolutely! I just like his appreciation for classic bikes.

@HOTSHOT-III I know an old hardtail fanatic biker who used to mod z1000’s and other bikes. He told me that RamAir used to make a foam filter kit for flatslide Mikuni carbs, included in it was a ‘jet correction’ kit that was a brass threaded insert for the power valve. You had to drill & tap the existing P/J casted hole and thread in the replacement. Interesting was that they didn’t recommend changing any other jetting on the carb...

@markus-w @SpookDog Thanks guys!

Did you get anywhere with the bigger single radiator?

@hotshot-iii My current bike is in the house, but I own my place. And it's because I have ran out of garage space!

Just dress the curclips with some emery, wet’n’dry or a Dremmel so there is no sharp edge PS or just use the back edge of a pair of scissors and run that round the sharp edge, anything that is made of good hard metal... I don’t think the edge even protrudes tho’ So it shouldn’t wear anything at all... I cheated out and reused the same clips when I stripped, cleaned and rebuilt my box. No issues with it. I would replace them if I could find same quality parts. No fleabay cr@p!!

@spookdog said in Crankcase Sealant; What's Everyone Using?: Blue Hylomar This was what was recommended to me and did nothing but leak. I've used it on several components and never had success. As I say, the bond stuff seems to be the goto kiddy everyone is using these days. I recently redone my DT engine with the Hondabond and it hasn't had a drop since.

@calum Yes I agree, running JASO FD spec Silkolene Comp2 Plus o I think it will be OK

Oh yeah! Could it be needing a decoke? PV sticking in the bushes maybe?...
