ok thanks

my bike was a little better when i pulled the reed switch out of the speedo this morning,and taped it up... .ive just cut the wires to the reed switch and its even better,its still coughing and spluttering but ive just got it to redline at 65mph down hill so we are getting sumwhere!!!!! im thinking the spluttering could be the standard exhaust,powervalve or the carb?as the bike has been sitting for a while(like i said before its perfect up untill 6k revs,its even getting there quicker)in neutral it revs alot better aswell.. should i keep you posted or are you finnished with this thread?

ok thanks m8 ,the exhaused and powervalve hav,nt been touched,i was worried the bike was on its way out, i bought it 2 days ago stolen recovered no keys or paperwork,it came from a salvage yard,ive ordred a ignition,and im going to send off for the logbook tomorow.it all looks in good condition,im going to put it in for its mot when the igniion turns up next week, its my 1st dtr and i just didnt want to spend money on it if its on its way out,

thats what im thinking everything on it is original..so is it nomal to struggle to rev over 6k while rideing it?

hi guys ive jut bought a 1999 dtr its completly standard and untouched,everything seems to be workig as it should,it starts 1st or second kick,it ticks over fine,and revs ok(it spluters abit in high revs)when i ride it its ok untill 6k revs then it just coughs and spluters,it does that in every gear. ive had 50mph(80km/h)at 6k revs out of it down hill,is that normal?is it because of the restrictions that its so slow? ive just taken the reed switch out of the speedo.it revs up a little better in nutral and it now goes to just over 6k revs when im rideing it.
