    • RE: Hmm now what (A Rebore!)

      I'll be keeping a close eye on things, regular compression tests and plug chops to see whats going on.

      I think I've done what I wanted with the head for now. I'd say I've given it more of a polish than anything

      Its far far from perfect, but also a lot better than what it was :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

      one of the marks is still fingernail deep, but I'm reluctant to go much further without taking it somewhere knowledgeable with two stroke machining. I'm happy enough to fit and find out for now :winking_face:

    • RE: Hmm now what (A Rebore!)

      Little update. After running it in a little and opening it up a bit, I wasn't particularly impressed. It felt worse than before up top. So I did mess with the squish too much I think. Luckily managed to get another 3mb head in a more normal condition for £25 and have just fitted it and compression tested it and its up, so hopefully tomorrow's ride will be an improvement.

      Now I have the old head here may as well look into getting it sorted properly at some stage and swapping back later down the line.

    • RE: What's missing here?

      Its not the valve. I took the exhaust off and aligned the valve, unplugged the servo and it was still the same at the top. What should I look at next?

      So, check the green black wire is grounded and stick a finger in my exhaust is the next port of call?

      Cheers for the help btw guys 😉

    • RE: Anyone got experience with power jets?

      Exactly my point. The people that designed the carb also sell the kit, so there must be a reason they make it. Inherent design flaws?

      Anyhow its all hearsay until fitted and tested, we could sit here and chat about it until the cows come home. Real world experience is what is needed.

    • RE: Anyone got experience with power jets?

      The Mikuni website begs to differ "Kit may be installed easily on TM and VM series Motorcycle and Snowmobile carburetors."

      And I spotted a DT125LC with one fitted recently.

      To be clear we are not talking about main or pilot, or any other internal jet on the carb, Its an additonal Jet that bolts into the inlet flange before the butterfly and operates at WOT. Just how the main and pilot overlap this overlaps with the main jet for more top end fueling control.

      There around a score so I've ordered one to try anyway, will report back with findings 👍

      I'm aware of the principles, just wondering if anyone has real world use experience good or bad to share. Thanks.

    • Anyone got experience with power jets?

      Just wondering of anyone has experience with power jets on the standard carb or otherwise. Did you need to re jet or make any other adjustments?

    • RE: ULEZ & The DT

      @Calum What years out of interest had cats?

      When you look at it £175 is less than two weeks worth of charges, so it would pay for itself pretty quickly.

      There are a few post 2007 strokers available like the KTM's and Huskys, so in theory a two stroke has the possibility of passing.

      I'd hate to see cities without the occasional sound of a two stoke reverberating off the buildings and a whiff of two stoke, it would take away some of the character 🙂

      Alternatively we could just wait, as I believe Historical vehicles (40+ years) are also exempt. Classic Lambrettas and Vespas should be cool.

    • ULEZ & The DT

      So, there is that ULEZ zone around London and pre 2007 bikes must pay a £12.50 charge to enter. It doesn't currently cause me problems commuting but it may well do when the area expands in 2021. Other cities will most likely follow suit down the line, so would be nice if we can work out if a DT could pass the test.
      It would be handy to pop into town on the bike if I wanted too of course 🙂

      There seems to be 3 main ways of conforming to the rules.
      First and second is to obtain a certificate of conformity or a homologation certificate from the manufacturer to present, some seem to be now charging for this privilege. So, what do you think the chances are of Yamaha having these for a DT?

      Thirdly, is to take your bike for an emissions test on a case by case basis, so just because one DT passes does not mean yours will. Currently only 1 place in the whole of London has been authorised to do this, Riverbank Motorcycles, and they want £175 for each test. What they are looking for are the Nox levels and the magic number is 0.15g/km or lower.

      Lots of older bikes seem to be passing, albeit I've yet to see a 2 stroke mentioned in any blurb I've read yet.

      What do we think? Is this possible for a DT, anyone got any idea of Nox emisons on our bikes?

      Oh yeah, did any year DT's come with a cat in the silencer? 😄

    • RE: Hmm now what (A Rebore!)

      @Calum So there are other heads apart from them two, cool I didn't now :winking_face:

      At least the whole top end can be ruled out now, plus ive got a spare head to play with, so not all bad. Just need to get to the bottom of this issue once and for all.

      At this rate I'll have a nice stash of spares :face_with_tears_of_joy:
