-
a special part needed...
thats a fuel cap, but thanks anyway
-

even if i change down a gear it bogs and slows me down before recovering , it sounds asif its flooding as it starts to fourstroke.

yet more tuning...
hmm, this is a two smoke bike and it sounds more like its bogging down like if i pull away with the choke on, not like if i leave the fuel tap off and go off chasing my mates aprillia down the road only to have it rev up at the traffic lights and cut

tight petrol tap(dt 125)
could just be full of sh*t, take it out and give it a good spray through with WD40 and clean the filter screen whilst you're at it

Chinese import bikes
most of the bikes in our 'crew are yamahas, about 3 aeroxs, 2 DTs and an aprillia, perhaps suggest sealing the main shaft with an o-ring or drilling and tapping the crankcase and make a gland?

okay peeps, another question for ya... my DT is now running great, albeit a little rich in the mid-rev range but that doesnt bother me much. anyhoo, if you let go of the throttle and then pull it open again, the engine will respond for a split second, then die for a second and then fire as usual, and it also tends to bog down off the line (often requiring a slip of the clutch to allow it to clear before departing) it also dies if i take a speed bump with too much speed or going up a steep hill and when your riding out with your mates, its kinda a pain in the ass is this related to the mid-range rich running or a completely different problem?, maybe floats too high?

The Best Uses Of Bike Engines :D
the original robin engines were only about 900cc anyway, so a 1000cc shouldnt be too bad

Have I ruined my gearbox? or maybe the clutch?
not familiar with your bike, but on my DT its a case of undoing 3 allen screws to get the side cover off, letting the oil drain out of the clutch compartment and undoing 4 bolts to get to the clutch plates. on your bike the process would probably be similar albeit you will have more clutch plates (my DT has 2, but the Jawa has 5)
