i would definitely whip the cylinder off and see whats going on for the sake of a new piston and small end and a gasket set ... probably would have been my first shout and check for wear around the ports if you have tried everything else but it does sound like a electrical or cdi issue ... 240 main is best for dtr if you are running a aftermarket exhaust but its a tad rich so i always run without a snorkle never had a problem in the rain ect ....

And the ktm rc 125 has some nice carbon parts and a complete face lift from tyga website google tyga ktm rc125 on google images yea its not verry fast or that pratical but it looks pretty I'm all about that but its over 3 k for the bodykit ...

@Calum work is 15 plus miles each way i have a car test booked for November 29 but money is tight i have 2.5 k to play with for a bike but also no full bike test as i never bothered i bought a gsxr 750 i rode around on for a year (like an idiot ) but failed my test and didn't retake it i probably will after my car test but for the moment it was between another new rs125 2t for 1200 or a ktm rc125 for 2.5k that i was looking at i was thinking the ktm would be boring and reliable as where the rs would be more fun but a nightmare for being reliable as its 2 stroke ..... but in essence i have ridden a dt to work for the last ten years 30 miles plus a day ... and after it was stolen i bought the rs and have done 2 years on this with just a top end rebuild engine wise and a new carb ....

@Calum ha thanks i thought it was quite quirky lol and i just built it mainly to build a thread on the forum as my last one was stolen i need to get another daily too but I'm torn between another two stroke or a ktm rc for work

Hey guys back again with a little update I've not had a lot of time recently but have a week to get it on the road as the rs has become porley lol so I've fitted the graphics today and got the new panels on and a mock up of the exhaust just have to make a bracket and take it for mot will fit new cylinder and zeeltronic and fat bars when i get more time .... ![alt text] http://imgur.com/gallery/8T2UhIW

@Calum i do 40 miles plus a day on the rs 125 at the moment last full rebuild was 1999 everything rattles its a gamble getting to work everyday..... i cant wait to get the dt on the road as my daily will be doing over 40 miles a day all through the winter my last dt loved it

@Calum its verry much the same for me in that respect of not getting phonecalls .... i literally just use my phone for taking pics ... googleing things ... buying bike parts on ebay .... and most importantly this forum lol i do spend more time than i should looking at other builds for ideas to steal

@Calum lmao i bet thats because everytime you go to buy a new phone ... theres always that one bike bit that you didn't know you needed

@NINJA ^ thanks mate thats obviously where im going wrong spot on i did try for ages then gave up will bare that in mind for next time nice 1

@NINJA will try that mate and i know i can do that with the images but it always says there too large and i have to spend 20 mins cropping them down to be small enough to add ....
