No disrespect meant from the start! But I’m guessing that you’re about 17 and haven’t ridden a great deal of bikes?
Every 125 Has been restricted to about 12bhp since the late 80’s AFAIK. Any bike that is significantly above that has been de-restricted and/or tuned.
You can unrestricted early dtr’s by ‘pinning’ the power valve open. This will give you higher bhp but will basically make the throttle an on/off button with terrible response.
Later bikes I don’t know as much. You can unrestrict them and the variable power valve will still give you better low rev torque/response (I’m guessing that is what you mean by throttle response?)

Do some reading up on deristricting your year model bike, then do some riding. Stop worrying about numbers bud, enjoy a wicked little bike for what it is, before yearning for more...

I learned to change gear on a dt50mx, 14 years old on the local rugby field. 2 nights later I was riding it round the town pitch black in the middle of winter. I ended up falling in love with 2/‘S, has more Vespas and lambrettas than I can remember. Margate is one of the places I’ve actually ridden to, never had any problems cause nearly all my scooters were chopped ️

I met an old boy with one leg through buying DTR bits on fleabay, he used to race 2/‘S he’s got a Dt LC with an rd200 twin engine in it! Also a beautiful unmolested kh350 (iirc) I’ve never seen one of before. As well as a mystery covered bike I haven’t asked about yet. He only lives a few miles away from me. There are definitely some really interesting old souls out there!...

Am legal @ long last! Only my CBT stands between me & nirvana! Two stroke heaven! ...

Better pic!

I only got this in May, but it’s MoT time tomorrow!

Eye exam in the afternoon so I can read a number plate @21 metres. CBT in a week with luck...

Am insured, so only tax needed as well...

It’s been 25 years since I was last legal on a bike, so I’m pretty excited...

I didn’t think mounting the clocks was a problem, I thought it was the drive gear wheel/spacer that meshes to the Yz wheel?...

@chris
Think of tri-age, like war medics do. Does it really need the amount of attention, that could be better used on something else?...
I’d just wire brush it down, then satin black it. Job done. I’m just as guilty of over thinking things sometimes 🤪 check out Sound Blaster horns ...

The screw/nut adjusts the sound/pitch, like said...

Please turn it anti-clockwise till you can see the most of the piston without it being occluded by the power valve. I don’t know how else to say it...

@jimmydc98

Get it tig welded. Try any garage, engineering firm. They’ll probably do it for the price of a beer...

@declan
Cheers bud, she’s seriously ginger. Her eyes even shine amber red at night, instead of greens~white...

@dtlee
Have you checked the power jet pipe? It’s the plastic pipe that connects the bowl to the carb body. If that’s leaky or cracked it won’t be pulling any fuel into the power jet at full throttle...

I’m guessing that people are still running the power jets on their carbs when they state main jet sizes?...

@kevb1967
That’s a bargain, it looks great. Most people are scared to take the gamble and get their hands dirty. It’s the best way to learn if you’ve got no one to teach you though. Even if you had to rebuild the engine it came in at a good price...

@kevb1967
That’s a very healthy looking transmutation, for sure!...

You can still post pics here, once you’ve hosted them:

How much was this dreamboat from fleabay, if you don’t mind me asking?...

@kevb1967
Wot iz das?...

@dtlee

I would Flush the carb via the drain screw on the carb bowl. It could be shite in the carb. Condensation is the usual, especially if the tank is near empty.
when was the last time you put fresh petrol in?
Is it only on full throttle? Or is it stuttering on lower throttle positions?...

@kevin
I want to go with a 2.0 or so. I don’t know the increment’s. I have a 2.5 fitted ATM...

@spookdog

Anyone know if you can get tm28 slides in different cutaway sizes? If so, where?...
Cheers peeps!...

I had no idea, i kinda thought with dtr’s being so popular they still made some parts. When did they stop making re’s new?

Found a pinhole in the inlet manifold, gonna try and seal it up with sillyc#n# sealant. Because the rubber is still soft and supple I never tried spray testing the seal till now. Fine sprayed some brake cleaner on it and the revs ‘settled’ out. Once I’ve cured the leak (any one got a GOOD 3ET inlet manifold for sale?) I’m confident I’ll settle the pilot jet size & mixture ...
