hey guys i wonder if any of you guys can help me out, i cant seem to get my bike to idle, its a 98 dtr,its got a standard carb as far as i know, i just cant get it to idle at all, iv got the idle screw adjusted fully in but this dosnt seem to affect any thing at all the air screw is set at 1 and 1/2 turns out and the needle jet on the middle clip...once started it runs and drives fine but cuts out if i let go the throttle... could the coil affect this at all? the manual says the spark should be a big fat blue spark but mine is more a wee thin spark?!?! any help would be great cheers

ok so looks like a strip down is in order for further invesigation.. cheers for the replys

hi guys im new here, im having problems with my engine rebuild on my dt125r its a 00 model, to start with there was water in the crankcase when i bought it but i never thought much of it as i was buying it to rebulid anyway, but now iv stripped the head and barrel off and checked the condition of the barrel and piston and all seems fine... but when i hold the con rod and lift i can feel slight play (up and down play) is this ok or do i need to replace bearings? the bike is for off road use only so doesnt need to be perfect.. and wot oil is best to use? cheers for any help.... oh and wot would be the cause of water in the crnkcase???
