kens97sto171 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hi... new to the forum. have a 78 dt175. 2500 miles runs great. I am, just wondering if there are any good performance improvements to try. Right now the bike will run about 65 mph. With my 230 lb on it. Engine is turning about 7500 rpm at that speed. Any carb or exhaust options still available for these bikes. Thanks for your help. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted October 11, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 11, 2012 Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha. Sorry i suffer with sarcasm, to early.....? No matter. Must be due to the lack of an introduction. Tut tut. Short answer no. The only new stuff now is direct replacement unless you keep a permanant watch on ebay. (thanks again paul). Search the forum. Different people try different things. I have had mine over 20 years and tried most of it and ended up back with a basically standard (ish) bike. 65mph is about it. The engines suffer when tuned. They generate a hot spot in the exhaust port area that overheats the piston and pop. The later liquid cooled lc engines have a speciall water gallery specifically to sort that. Welcome. Dont forget the intro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
