wild foamy Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 hi everyone. im happy tonight, 'cus i just got 50mph out of my wickle yammy DT50MX!, and all it cost me was £7 for a 14t front sprocket to replace the 12t one i was running. feels much quicker but it really does need the big bore now because when i change up a gear it will drop off the powerband and take a while to pick up again. should be nice for those back roads and cruising around ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted December 20, 2008 Moderator Share Posted December 20, 2008 take it easy there, make sure your tyres are in good nick and at the correct pressure. fitting a big bore will invalidate your insurance (as may a taller gear) and make sure your license is valid for a motorbike.

JUST ME! Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 hi everyone. im happy tonight, 'cus i just got 50mph out of my wickle yammy DT50MX!, and all it cost me was £7 for a 14t front sprocket to replace the 12t one i was running. feels much quicker but it really does need the big bore now because when i change up a gear it will drop off the powerband and take a while to pick up again. should be nice for those back roads and cruising around ireland Geday mate, Trust me i am the last person that should suggest that you take care on a bike, so i wont. Just a liitle tip,if you insist on riding this little jigger like you stole it, keep one finger very close to the clutch lever so when the piston grabs, you may have a chance of saving yourself! In my experience, increasing bore size by anymore than the normal factoy oversizes is not very succesful simply because it is too difficult, so nobody bothers, to dismantle the entire engine and rebalance it! But it is refreshing to see some young bloke so keen about his hobby.Try never let anyone dampen your enthusiasm. SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER BERT MUNROE IN THE MAKING.

wild foamy Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 i could really get into classic motorbikes, nothing like coming out of the garage smelling of two stroke oil and covered in grease will hopefully drop the block out today after work and if i get time may start fitting the new one, out of interest, anyone know if i should open the reed stops?, if so how far?

Mikey*DTR Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 may sound silly mate but check your tyres for a speedrating then try not go over it thats the last thing you want to happen whilst screaming take it easy. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
