Moderator Cynic Posted June 7, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2013 Thats about it without tuning. Restricted is an abused word with 125s. When the law first changed 125s were tidy and fast and the new laws ment they got pegged back. Modern stuff makes what its designed to make and 60mph is ok for a dt125. Top speed is affected more by your weight than anything on a dt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice and nippy round town and stays in the powerband it's on a longer trip I could have done with a bit extra.would I gain anything from putting on a dep or big one full system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted June 7, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2013 Maybe a bit but you will be trading torque to get it. There are far better authorities on the liquid cooled dts than i. They can give you much better info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnerz89 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have a 07 plate dt 125x, supermoto version of yours, only non standard thing is full big one exhaust system. Having noticed much difference with the top end since fitting, but makes the powerband much more noticeable. Maybe check your gearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
