Next saturday im going to look at a 2002 yamaha dt 125 r. I know what sort of checks and inspections to make on the bike itself but what paper work will i need to see? This will be the first time i've considered buying a road legal bike and have no idea what to ask for.

if the fuel is premix then maybe the ratio of petrol to two stroke oil is wrong, that can cause alot of smoking. The ratio of two stroke oil to petrol should be stated on teh side of the two stroke oil container/bottle.

If the connection between the throttle cable and the butterfly valve is external, then pull the throttle right open when the bike is not running and then watch it as your let off the throttle. If you see the throttle cable become slack and the valve not move then it is most probably a faulty return spring, or the valve is getting stuck somehow. I would also suggest checking that the inside of the cabereutter is smooth and free of lumps and/or scores that the valve may become stuck on.

Don't want to sound petti,but i suppose you could say the concept of the standard model would be the original
WHICH CAME FIRST CHICKEN OR EGG!!!
ive had a flick through this topic
i luv modifying bikes not every body does!
that's personal choice BIG UP THE FREE WORLD!!!
ah yes the concept of a bike may be original (excluding cheap chinese rip offs) but the bike itself is not because there are hundreds of identicle copies.

Hello my names is Jacob, i come from Denmark.
I would like to ask, which tunning parts are best for my TZR 50??
I only use the best parts!
If any of you know anything, please answer. Hope you can help me, thanks!
air filters and exhausts are usually the most heavily restricting factors on 50s

for me "originality" derives from the word "origin" isnt?therefore its originality came from the factory design
regardless of how many they are...so from my understanding when you modify your bike to make it different from others, that makes it "unique"..
ok you can call it your "own design" because you made your own but the original design of it, is the "factory design" and you just changed it
to your own...
you are changing its looks,its "originality"to make it "unique"..thats how i call it..
originality derives from the word original, and here is a dictionary defition of what original means:
o-rig-i-nal
Adjective
1. arising or proceeding independently of anything else
2. created, undertaken, or presented for the first time
3. capable of or given to thinking or acting in an independent, creative, or individual manner
so basically you're wrong if you modify your bike then you are making it original. I don't think that factory bikes can be refered to as original because there are hundreds if not thousands of them produced to identicle standards.
I just wanted to share my opinion on this matter

they only did oil and filter change (so they said)
what so only oil, oil filter and air filter? Acheap air filter could be the casue of your problem

yea i know this but everyone i spoke too that have turned up at the dealership has had more speed than i have, ok jokes accepted for saying i'm fat, but i aint that only weigh 12 stone 8 so not the biggest of people, but why would it be slower when it came out just cant get my head around it
Make sure that whoever serviced your bike used the correct standard of parts, for instance if they have replaced your standard air filter with an inferior make then this may cause a loss of power and therfore speed.

take out the valves and put them in a drill, use fine wet n dry and spin away dead easy. keep an eye on the vavle seats as there maybe a stepped seat and has to match the cyl head. always keep valves in the same place you took them from.
ideal for alu engines is vapour blasting some companies can do the complete engine with no stripping involved. i had my head ceramic cleaned in a drum by steve smethhurst in salford uk. and its till as clean 2 years down the line.
i think a safer bet than using wet and dry would be to use wire wool with lots of lubrication, this way you don't run the risk of damaging the valves and it will remove the crap just as well as any abrasive paper. It's actually so none damaging to metalic surfaces it can be used to remove corrosion from chrome parts without removing any of the chrome. I have had bad (and costly) experiences in the past of getting over excited with abrasive paper on valves

alright mate, I would get a DTR 125 i have one myself and they are good bikes they run well they are good on fuel and with a Dep exhaust fitted they are quite quick.
I have a couple of friends with dt's and they tell me that they arent reliable starting, is this true?

Make sure to take care cleaning the valves, if you scratch or damage the valves they may not seat properly afterwards and you will therefore lose compression and overall engine power. Cellulose thinners should get the majority of the carbon of the valves, but be careful not to get it on any paint work (as it is designed to remove cellulise paints). I don't know if you have WD40 in america but that is always useful for cleaning, it doesn't damage plastics, it can be used to polish chrome, it removes sticky substance from wires etc (according to the back of teh can it is also good at keeping slugs off plant pots!). But if you intend to clean sensitive electrical parts then i suggest you use a specifically designed electrical component cleaner, they are usually non-conductive, evaporate quickly and they do not leave a residue that needs washing off. I have used a run of the mill enigne degreaser on ally cases before and its worked well, but be sure to read the back of the can incase it specifies which materials it should and should not be used on.

a trick i've used a couple of times is using almost boiling engine oil and pouring into the cylinders, the heat makes the metal expand and the oil helps to lubricate. But be careful with the oil, it will burn and its a b**ch to get off your skin in a hurry! just heat the oil and then leave in the cylinders for about half an hour and then drain, then try turning the engine over with any luck this should have loosened the pistons.

how much do you think it costs to have a bike restricted to 33 break? this is probably blasphemy on this sight but i was thinking zxr400, unless anyone can think of a better yammy 400?
