Ok here is my guide to opening the powervalve on the servo assisted DTR's.The early models use the same method but there is no plastic pulley or cables to remove. 1. Remove the front exhaust pipe 2. Look up the exhaust port (torch may help) and you will see the powervalve at the top of the port 3. Turn th...

I've got a 2000 DTR and it's kickstart only, do they have power valves or just fixed plate? -- Edited by The Bandit on Thursday 14th of April 2016 09:48:42 PM

Hi as you can see on the pictures the powervalve only lines up in one or the other end of the port. If i adjust it so it is smooth to feel with your fingers in the end of the exhaust port its a little bit closed in the port when you look on it from the cylinder and the other way around. If you adjust so its open from t...

Hi just had my barrel bored to 57 mm was wondering if anyone knows how big the distance from the powervalve to the piston rings should be ? would 1mm be enough? anyone who has experience about this?

sindre98 · sindre98

If i bored my cylinder to a size where i would have to mod the pv. would i not need to mod it if i just pinned it open? i can't think clearly atm becus im really tired haha :P

Hi all, as above I'm planning on putting my PV back on, it's running on a servo. It's a '97 model. Will I need to clean it or anything like that? Thanks in advance.

Hello, i have DT125R 01 and it has a 170cc Athena kit fitted. It is leaking halfburnt oil from the servo side of the powervalve. It has a rubber ring around the powervalve thing. It doesn't have any seal between the cap and the engine, but according to the scheme, there shouldn't be one. What could cause t...

Pulled the top end on that black DTR i recently bought to change the head gasket as it was leaking(why do DT owner's find it so had to put a gasket on). Once i got the head off i was in for a big suprise, the piston only had 1 ring on it. The bore is standard 56mm but it's clearly hit the pv? I took some off the PV and...

Hi guys! After not using the Dt since September I decided to get back on it and as it was rattling a bit I decided to rebuild top end (bottom end was done recently) so after putting in new piston etc today I went to start her up and it's still rattling! I checked for any big end bearing play whilst i had piston o...

Haynes manual says you must take head n barrel off to remove Pv? Sureley you can remove it while there in place, just rebuilt it yesterday not keen on taking it all back off lol.

Hi all, Been rebuilding my dt125re and my powervalve is not working as it should. I have been diagnosing the problem and have come to the conclusion that the cdi just aint right. The motor for the ypvs works, I've bench tested it with a 12v power supply and a 6 v power supply. The valve itself can be moved...

i have a servo powered powervalve and wanna no what will happen if i play about with it im just looking for more power really and jw what i could do with it aprently its set up how it should be evenly in the middle but id like someone to tell me how it all works if it s not to much hastle :) i take it it works on air?

bones · bones

My power valve was set up as per manual, (ie dowel hole lines up) but the power valve has a step if you run your finger in the port. To get the PV to have no step the pulley needs to be half a hole towards the right. Post has been edited as it really made no sense. -- Edited by bones on Thursday 30th of January...

Is there any difference between the power valve with a diamond end and the one that's just oval/straight with round ends ? Of so which is better and what's the benefits ?

DaMadOne · DaMadOne

So thought ide have a lil go at fixing the bike as weathers okish and on inspection of the pv its a rectangular shape not a diamond looks like its the right way round as the spot is on top but it just wont spin.

I've got the dt125r manual & i know you have to set up the slot so that it's in the same place as the hole. But it seems to be cutting out when i stop :( ever since i had a topend rebuild.
