  1. It is really easy to swap the head gasket take your time I didn't have a torque wrench either I just put all the nuts on and tightened them up finger tight and nipped them up with socket in a cross pattern just giving them 1/2 turns then finally a 1/4 turn when they tighten right up.

    Not sure if that's the right way but I have 600+ miles on the topend now

  2. the power of a 2t is higher up the rev range, i let a few pals of mine ride the dt and they change gear before the powervalve opened 6k rpm basicly riding it like a thumper i keep telling them to get the revs up always the same response "i dont want to damage the engine"

    i dont redline mine every where but i atleast get the powerband as thats where the power is you keep going up the gears without touching the power band your little 125 wont pull very well and you would end up going back down the gears.

    i come out of my street and there is a hill so she gets 9-10k rpm up through the gears i f i go lower say 7k i would get to 3rd then have to drop to second and give it more beans.

    ride it like you stole it!!!!!

  3. 6ft 2 on a 50cc? Jesus I bet that was interesting going up hills in the wind lol!

    Any 125 coming from a 50 is going to be an improvement for sure, even better at that price.

  4. Hey people

    Thanx a lot

  5. Not yet pal I'm gonna have to do that tomorrow!

    I'm just going by what the engine is doing I was looking at ideas in what could be the cause.

    Was working before I decided to fine tune the carb which needed most of the plastics and the tank off so I think somewhere I've either nipped a wire or shorted something out!

    Kinda need it for work, I have to get lifts until I can sort it

    Cheers

  6. Well after messing with my bike and putting it together with a few tweaks to carb a new set of clocks she won't start ill give you breed description.

    Turn key

    Powervalve cleaning cycle completed

    Choke on

    Kick

    It fires once, fumes out of exhaust

    Stops

    This happens every time I kick tried bumping etc

    Am I right in thinking there is a break in the circuit from the stator? Maybe pickup?

    Ideas anyone?

    Just fitted a new battery aswell

    Cheers

    Ken

  7. You need a compression tester to be accurate on that one, pull the plug out and hav a look at the colour!!!

    While the bike is idle and you give it a little flick of the throttle does the revs linger then drop?

    Try looking for a downloadable Haynes manual for the original settings but that won't help you much if the bike has been derestricted.

    Do the older dt's have powervalves + servos?

  8. Just ordered the battery today so won't be here until about Wednesday

    Power valve has always been good it just feels weird at high rpm like its not firing right

    3rd gear 30mph steady away open throttle 1/2 turn "burrrrrrwahhhhhhh" roll throttle slowly you can increase speed 8k rpm "burrrrrrwahhhhhhh" I'm fighting the bike trying to keep revs up for next gear change otherwise you drop out of powerband

    Ill have to give this new battery a whirl then repost

    Cheers

  9. Urgh I get it all pulled back apart set the carb back then turn the key power valve cleaning cycle going slow and laboured!

    Battery has decided its time for retirement, so I'm guessing when I changed the carb settings before and tried to start it the battery was at fault and not the settings.

    So put the clip down one again and ordered a new gel battery so ill find out how it goes in a couple of days.

    Grrrrrr pisses me off

  10. I agree car dealers are dodgy bastards I hope bike dealers don't end up like them but to be fair I will always by my bike's from private sellers unless a friend can recommend/or knows person running the shop.

    As for back tracking on the warranty it prob has more to do with the fact that Suzuki are feeling the pinch and need to cut back on some costs

    Ken

  11. Now it won't fire up...

    All I get it is a sound "tin tin blurgh".....

    Choke on/off - little/no throttle - air box blocked up a little dam it I've drained through petrol to see if carb is filling up and yes it is.

    Think ill have to put the clip back to normal then try air screw

    Which way will richen mixture a little?

    Cheers
