Only mention of 100mph i see here is about other bikes. Dog22 stated about his DTX top speed being 85+mph(he started @ 90 then back-peddled 5mph), myself and a few others simply asked for proof in the form of a vid with gps.(doesn't seem to want to take me up on me offer though)
Are you willing to make a vid to prove this 85mph?
that sounds reasonable enough , niether dog or me have video equipment or gps at the mo but . leave it with us and we will work something out =D
ofcourse your welcome to come and have a go for yourself anytime =D

Wo wo wo wo
Where has all this talk of 100mph come from ? if you look at the original piece i wrote i never claimed i could reach 100 mph ! i didnt even claim i could hit 90 mph ! i said its more than possible . i pointed out i was a full grown man riding a DTX with 2 basic mods and getting 85 . that extra 5 or even 10 (if the speedo is as wrong as you say) wouldnt be much more difficult to achieve . if i was a foot and a half shorter and 4 stone lighter we would be halfway there . fuck even a more aero helmet would help get another 1 or 2 .

Hi All,
why does everyone want to get a quart out of a pint can ? I guess if you need to go faster & pull better the answer is to buy a bigger bike ... which will save you money on your current 125's (more money for the bigger bike) and have the little bike for lightweight fun !
Regards Jim
the whole idea behind a fast 125 is that you dont need a full lisence jim , if he had full lisence he wouldnt be wanting help or advice , of which you provided niether .

90mph haha dont think so my 660c does 110mph tops so ure almost asking the imposible unles u want to do big bore kits and bigger carb messing with the gearing
u will be lucky to get 80mph and thats geting sports exhaust replaceing the air filter uping the jet sizes in the long run its not worth the hastle you might as well do ure full license and get a biger bike like i did
sorry to burst ure bubble but to get 70mph out of it aint bad at all
ignore this guy , he may have a nice bike but he doesnt know about dt's . its more than possible to get 90 from a dt . i ride a dtx im 6 ft 6 and wiegh 14st and mine does 85 mph without a problem . the speedo de-restriction is the easiest to fix . coming out of the speedo there are 3 wires going into a connecting block and 4 wires on the other side . find the black wire on the side with 4 wires with a green stripe , snip it , add an extended piece of wire to it ( long enough to earth it to the frame ) this will stop the engine retarding at 8,000 rpm and will rev freely up to 10,000 rpm . next step is to get a new exhaust , DEP exhausts are the easiest to find and is what i have on mine but , an arrow exhaust will work just aswell . the bike will do 85 easily now , if you want more you have to start getting techy . look at possibly getting your CDI unit chipped or upgraded and then look at changing sprockets , cams , jets and carb . hope this is a lil more helpful than negative nancy's offer =D

I just de-restricted a DT125X Super Moto (2006)
Simply had the CDI Unit re-wired now it arcs the clock does 70mph in 4th, top speed at least 90mph. No idea about rpm as I have no rev counter.
I still have the bog standard stock pipes on. I'm told putting DEP pipes on will make it even faster.
I had a race over the Edinburgh bypass with my m8 who has a 250cc Honda - After 5 mins he was just a speck of dust on my mirror
ive had a dtx for a few weeks now and im allready bored with the top speed , where or how did you get your cdi re-wired ? id be your best friend forever if you can help me on this one
