De Restricting my DT125R
Way better now with the exhaust tube gone and the PV set (hopefully) correctly. Should be better still with the DEP silencer . ...But i'm running in so wont be getting the full benefit. It just rev's more freely which is what i was wanting but keeping less than 6k at the moment.

De Restricting my DT125R
Where is the carb number, i cant see it? I have been told my bike as a 4BL import would have a 240 jet as standard. I have ordered a 250 on the strength of this, maybe a 260 will be considered too. You have me wondering now on the power valve although it did seem to be running right. look at this picture, If the PV was upside down there would be a bulge in the exhaust port, rather like a 'sleeping policeman' if you know what i mean, and it would have the same effect too no? To slow it down. I wish i had rotated it round though now.

De Restricting my DT125R
Sorted out my PV today. on removal of the pulley and exhaust i found it to be in the restricted position.By sticking a finger in the top of the exhaust port it could be felt that there was a hollow groove between the port and the PV. This is because the PV needs to be turned slightly more and will then be a smooth passage through port to cylinder with the pulley aligned with the 4mm hole in the cylinder. There are two possible positions to mount the pulley onto the PV, hopefully the pics will make it clearer. Pic 1, Pulley removed and this is the position as found (Restricted) Pic 2. Back of pulley showing how the PV would sit in the restricted position. Pic 3. Back of pulley showing how the PV would sit in the un-restricted position I can report a definite improvement now and the bike is much more willing to rev freely. Cant give it beans yet as due to still running in so revs not going much over 6k at the moment. DEP silencer is on order and a 250 main jet. I believe standard is 240.

1986 FZ600 starting problem
Could it be a faulty keyswitch, or a loose connection to the keyswitch?

De Restricting my DT125R
Dunno about my power valve (whether its in the right way or not), will check that out later However back to the exhaust 1: Thanks Vez for the spare exhaust, overall its a good one which is unusual as the headers are often shot through neglect with repainting and cleaning. 2: Took said exhaust to a local engineering / welding oufit today and instructed them to chop it in two so i could remove the internal sound absorbing mesh and restrictor rings 3: Arrived back an hour later to find that theres nothing whatsoever in there 4: so i wasted my time and money on that little exercise, and apparently the older DTR's ie 88 - 96 dont have these things inside but do still have the header restrictor Well at least now its in two pieces i can power wash the carbon out of it

RD350LC YVPS needs a rebuild
No its a number, they stopped doing it years ago for obvious reasons, perhaps your bike came after the change, ask nets she will know. Have you got any owners manual, maybe someone wrote down the number in there,,,,I would thats for sure

RD350LC YVPS needs a rebuild
Sometimes on the older bikes there was the lock number engraved on the top near the keyslot, if so you will be able to get a key for it.

DT125R 03 Cutting out...
Try opening the fuel filler cap next time it does it, if it sucks air in and then starts easily you then have a problem with the tank vent.

whats up wi it????
Thats strange, i assume it started by the starter motor so the battery can't be so bad ?
