This uses the same engine as the ysr50. There are dime a dozen performance parts availlable for this engine. In the USA team calamari makes many high performance components. Aftermarket Ignitions are also availlabe. Back in the early 80's I was able to get the DT50 go 75-80 MPH with just porting the cylinder jugs, an aftermarket expansion chamber, and a change over from 16 mm to 22 mm carburator. The engine is fairly reliable. Another fun method to upgrade the power on the bike is to transplant a 1977-1979 IT175 engine. Your horse power will instantly go up from 6HP to 22 HP. It will pop wheelies every gear. You will blow away all your friends' mopeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
