  1. I bought some for my XT afew weeks ago. They were £25 and they are sound. I also bought a renthal bar pad for a tenner and you can't tell the bars are only cheap ones. I bought these

    http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4835dd4a9b

    There is a picture of my handlebars if you go to the bar section and look at the 'fitting new handlebars' post.

    did you buy the rethnal bar pad from ebay too,i would have to find out if the bars you bought would fit my bike

  2. True.

    Big rear sprocket = better acceleration, lower top speed.

    Small rear sprocket = better top speed. lower acceleration.

    However;

    There is a price to pay because if you mess with the sprockets you affect the gearing so riding up hills or with a head wind will be more difficult. Only consider doing this is you ride mainly in top at near the top end of your bikes speed. With a DT I wouldn't change the gearing. If you do intend to, minus one tooth would be enough. There is a spreadsheet to calculate what the changes would be in Excel. You should be able to find it with a little googling - motorcycle gearing worksheet or LINKY for an online one.

    so you recommend i keep the standard sprockets?

  3. It may be its because the dep doesnt have a spout so the fumes arnt being directed whereas the standard one does and the one on your mito most likely did to.

    My bike gear always smelt of 2 stroke, i eventually got used to it.

    my standard exhaust on the dtr sm does not have a spout ryan just a straight pipe the same has the dep,i think you could be refering to none sm dtr's

  4. is the rubber joint between the exhaust and silencer leaking?

    i cannot remember if there was one when the standard exhaust was on the bike but there was not when the bike shop fitted the dep exhaust.i noticed that once the dep exhaust was fitted that oil was leaking from where it joined the end can has it did not marrie up correctly,i has to put some gum gum round it and then a piece of rubber tubing held in place with two jubilee clips

  5. my dtr sm came with a standard exhaust and dep end can,i had a dep exhaust fitted and ever since my jacket and if carrying a rucksack smell badly of oil after a ride out wether it be for 5 mins or an hour.does anyone else have this problem with the full dep system fitted?

  6. Its in the expansion chamber, you have to cut open the exhaust to remove it and have it welded back together again.

    i forgot to add that the bike is an 07 plate,is the cat still in the expansion chamber on this year?
