Thanks all
great to be here -
Got ya that's what i did more like a 160 Degree turn clockwise (picky i know)
hasn't really helped the top speed thou, still struggles at 55?

how can it be 90 degrees? look at the pics...it's a diamond shape not a bloody square
Showing what i understand as turning it 180 degrees, from what im looking at yours youve flipped it ?

Right. I turned the power valve clockwise to match the pictures on your thread , but thats 90 degrees turn isn't it ?
Everyone seems to say 180 degrees ? ,
Had a drive with it like in the diagram , ans it does drive differently power band is a bit odd, but I feel like it's struggles on puling off, nearly stalling really ?
btw there is no speed increase I don't think

Nice one, Ill have a fiddle and see how it goes
Cheers man

Will this mean that the PV will only activate at a high rpm thou ? or will i still feel that power lower down the rev range?

I saw you have a full DEP exhaust which is good. So now im wondering about your PV, there were two types, mine has a diamond shape on the end of the PV so it can be set to a restricted position. Have a good read of that part of my de-restrict topic it describes the correct position with pictures
yours may be the same as mine.
Others are just parallel sided and so are set right or 180 degrees out ( which would totally wreck any performance)
So if i am reading this correctly ( post 31 if im correct on that thread) .
Will that hinder the performance and any other rev range? , i vaguely remember seeing somewhere that the power band then changes?
Or will it be like having the power band i have now that kicks in at 5400rpm kick in from basically 0rpm with it working all through the rpm range .
Thanks, G

I will !

I initial thought the speed was out, but i now think its 100% accurate because i measured it against a gps and a car speedo. But because the car speedos read about 3-4mph over i thought the DT's speedo was out, but i know now its not. So yer i think it has a too low top speedo, (about 55)

yer this was brought pretty cheap and i ended spending probs about £200 fixing it up and getting it through an MOT, its beeen going now for a while just a few tweeks to get through
Love it thou, now my dad wants one after he relived his 1970's/80's yammy DT and XT era for about 30 mins

Hi everyone,
just got a dt125 2003 after getting rather bored with my car
And it feels good to be back on a bike for what is expected to be a typically 'average' British summer, and do a bit of green laneing etc
Hopefully planning on gaining some good knowledge on Yamaha then hope to contribute back
Will speak to you all soon im sure

Hi everybody
I originally posted a problem on the bikechatforums.com and am trying to fix my problem but i think the consensus was that no one was really sure.
This is the link to the post

As you may read i am struggling to get past 55mph on a flat, ( i got to 62 down a hill
), which i know is now correct correct as i measure to a gps unlike what it states about riding along with my car ( knowing there speedos a few mph over accurate)so i have come over here in recommendation and hope someone has an idea?
Thanks for looking

dt125 derestrict
in Yamaha Workshop
Posted
Ive pulled the reed switch out and put it to one side (not cut or anything), and derestricted the PV.
it just feels like there is something stopping it going faster than 55, but i can tell it wants to go more!
I'm still on L-plates but my dad is insured too under a full license and he likes riding it around also, so adjusting the PV and removing the reed switch takes all of 5 mins to put back to standard for when im driving it.
