wild foamy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 LOL, my DT50 does 50 on a good day . what sprockets are you running?, changing to a larger front sprocket can make a world of difference and on a 125cc you should have enough power to still get good performance. addition of a free-flowing exhaust and K&N filter will also increase power output (make sure you add bigger jets to your carb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator YamaHead Posted February 18, 2009 Moderator Share Posted February 18, 2009 When changing out sprockets.....if @ all possible.....try to get @ least one sprocket with an odd number of teeth... It'll make the chain last longer......proven fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyhollie05 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 what number of teeth front and resr would you say is best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild foamy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 on my DT it had a 10 front and 52 rear and was doing 35 flat out, im now running a 14 front and 48 rear and can get 45-50mph on a good day most people say go up 2 teeth a time, i personally have tried that method and found it to be absolute shite on these small bikes. go down to say, a 45 on the rear and a 16 on the front and see how you get on dont forget to change the chain when you do the sprockets as they will last longer when changed as a set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupermoTom Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 personally mate i wouldn't change the sprocket sizes, on your 4-banger it won't make enough difference because the engine's made to be more torquey at low to mid revs whereas a 2-smoke revs high to make the power. first thing would be (as said above) k&n high flo air filter and a new exhaust system, id personally go with an arrow system, probably the best you can get for that bike. and then take it to be set up at a dyno centre where they can up the size of the jets and get it all running properly. Hope that helps Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this with a 6'2" 17stone fatty on it...... BTW this is a bike with stock sprockets and pipe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
