@jakeyboy if silkolene gear oil is what you're after this is what you need https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F332366839914

@jakeyboy that isn't gearbox oil mate, it's 2 stroke engine oil

@declan yeah it is

@thechompster my mistake, I meant without the 'r' lol if it hasn't got the resistor in it the valve finds a mind of its own. You can hear the exhaust note change as you ride

@thechompster does it have the resistor in it the 'r' in the spark plug type as this can cause issues with the operation of the valve

@thechompster just out of interest, what spark plug are you running??

Not too sure what oil all the other guys are using but mineral oil made mine slip so used silkolene light gear oil instead, that worked a treat

@calum not too sure whether it actually makes much difference but I owned a 2007 rs125 full power model, standard pipe and carb settings according to the previous owner but with the cdi copper wire cut (supposed to unleash 33bhp??) I had an indicated GPS top speed of 105mph.

@calum I've used this before in both my dt and yz and never had anything go wrong tho??

@calum yeah I've read the kick start conversion tutorial posted by yourself and the order was on that and I've used a light gear oil given to me by the guy who did the rebore work for me I think it's putoline or silkolene??

I've recently had a full engine rebuild on my 2002 dtr and after the rebuild and around 400 very slow miles I've noticed that my clutch slips when I put the power on, so I changed the friction plates and put new oil in (putoline light gear oil) and adjusted the push rod and cable to suit but it's still slipping but not as bad?? Any suggestions on what the fix could be, new springs is the only possible thing I can think of atm??
Any suggestions appreciated

@calum I meant the head of the bolt for the clutch bolt springs

@ricky0115 alright, thanks for the info

@ricky0115 alright mate thanks, do you know what size head the bolts are as I haven't got them to hand and can't remember of the top of my head

@ricky0115 would that be the same as a 2002 model??

Hi all, like a total idiot I've over tightened a clutch spring bolt. Just need to know the thread size of the bolts as I've seen a few different sizes/lengths when looking for some new ones?? I've seen m5 and m6 at different lengths so not 100% sure.
Thanks in advance.

@cyber-ninja I have moved the reed switch behind the speedo but not unplugged anything??

@darty could this be as simple as swapping the cdi for an unrestricted one or is this not possible??

@calum ok thanks mate I'll have to do a bit more digging, just out of curiosity my other dtr I had was also a 2002 but had a 3 wire servo rather than the 5 wire this one has?? What difference does this make??
Cheers Mitch
