Hello everyone,
Just brought myself a DT125R.
Always wanted one since I was knocking around at 15 on my CB125 - finally got the cash to treat myself.
Found on EBay
UK registered from new, engine and frame numbers match.
Bit scruffy, but perfect for me to fiddle around with at the weekends
Not sure if I loaded the photo properly!
Plenty of tidying to be done on the bike, electrics, decals, plastics, tank etc etc, but looking forward to it and coming here for advice!
@calum so I think I understand.
At the moment the power valve either works at low down or higher revs because it is fixed in position?
I choose that position by turning 180 degrees either way?
By fitting a servo, the power valve is rotated to give me full power depending on revs.
Is this correct?
My power valve doesn't look like most i see in pictures - no cables or slots for cables in the casing. Just a central bolt, flanked by 2 small outer bolts
Can a servo still be retro fitted to this?
Actually had a go at turning the power valve around today - 180 degrees so the top of it was flush with the manifold.
Took it out and I thought I had knackered it.... until I hit 7000 rpm OMG
Had a lot of owners, but I would guess garaged, yeah.
Was def kept in a garage from the bloke I brought it from for the last 5 years.
Still has some niggles that I will tackle one by one,
Got hot again today, so going to check coolant levels (only changed 2 weeks ago)
Back brake's pretty rubbish and spongy
Poor electrics mean that the headlights pretty much useless in dusk/night time
Badly resprayed tank means petrol lifting paint
I don't know anything about Engines/electrics but I'm practical enough to learn - Haynes manuals arrived to help me through
