    Carb balance is a big factor and engine mountings torqued to spec.

    Slipping clutch...if you travel at say 30mph with say 4000rpm then in the same gear give it some gas uphill and expect 45mph at 6000rpm and 60 mph at 8000 rpm, if revs are higher then clutch is slipping.

    Greetings Dan The R1 is far too powerful for umm...a 19 year old so stick with the R6,

    Good advice Tony, some nuts can be torqued but the DTR gives too little clearance for sockets on some cyl head nuts, so a little guesswork with a ring spanner has to be applied. DTRs are renowned for blowing gaskets and so I will say again a thin line of silicone around the bore circumference (just 7mm wide) is of benefit and it cleans off quite easily,

    I cant understand how it was dry unless the oil level was extremely low?

    Either the air filter is dirty...or you are using the choke?

    Even a cheap one may work with the film of silicone as I said...I fitted it dry

    I have used a cheap one once and sure enough it failed. I use proper ones now and run a thin film of silicone manifold sealant around where the bore is only about 7mm wide not the whole gasket (you have to get it off again sometime) do this both top and bottom. Your head may be warped though I cant comment on that but skimming should be done proffessionally in my opinion. At a guess place the head on a piece of glass and ensure it doesn't rock in any way.

    are you using a cheap after market all metal gasket or a pukka yamaha rubber coated one?

    125's have one less friction plate, and generally look different

    Greetings Mark TDR 125...what an awesome little bike they are you lucky g1t

    Not sure on the switch issue but there are two versions of CDI, one is 6 wire and one is 7 wire, the presence or absence of a RED is the difference, early bikes had two source coils in the magneto...the RED connects to source coil 2 on these.
