DT125R ARCHIVE

yeah definately going to get one when iv sorted the bike out not sure on the brake lines yet though thanks for your help il keep u updated on the pv hopefully going to sort it out 2moro

indys look cool, dont buy the ones i bought (cheap chinese rubbish)
they are ****ed now lol gotta buy new ones :@

handguards, i prefer wrap around ones but other people dont, they look quite cool but for a couple of bob more you can have acerbis ones

and the blue lights would be pretty cool but all blue lights are illegal on the road, people think your the cops. Hefty fines.

Chinese ones are normally just poor quality however some are quite good ive got some on my dt from china and they're fine,

If you plan on fitting led indicators you'll need an led relay or they'll flash to fast and you will almost definately need to take the bulb out from under the dash that flashes when you inidcate as it will make them work like hazards for some reason.

You dont have to fit it but it will flash fast as hell without it ;)

Have you pinned your pv open? or just set it up to work correctly?

Not sure about the cdi but the reed switch will stop you at 60 mph if its in, try turning your headlight off if the bulb in it is wrong then it will slow the bike down because it saps power from the battery. My bike does it 60mph at 8k revs when the headlight is on turn it off and i can hit 70 + what revs are the bike at when it hits 60?

no chopping it just unplugs and the new one plugs in ;) you'll find the relay under the headlight cowl on the same side as the clutch lever.
Best way to have the powervalve pinned open is a bit wild apparntly (its on my todo list - i wanna see how wild it gets lol)

lmao this page was all blue till you turned up :P

lol will have to take some pics and put them up trust me the bike looks alot better in that pic lol, it has a ripped seat cracked panels, stickers peeling, rusted bolts and screws and not to forget the pitted wheels lol, iv got an oil leak my mates going to change the clutch cover gasket for me and then im gona change the screws to steel allen bolts so should look better,

i love showing people that pic there like wow its a nice bike lol

if your ever in doubt whenever your clutch isnt engaging or anything .. have a ganders at this :) in theory its more accurate then your speedo and rev counter.

standard is 16-57, yours sounds perfectly fine.

yeah gutt the exhaust ftw. Rapid.

evening guys, just been reading though this thread, craig what do you mean by:

"looking up the exhaust port, make sure its absolutely flush with the exhaust hole, you might need to rotate it 180 degrees"

I've seen this mentioned a few times but not too sure what it means by making it flush?

Cheers

Forgive me if I missed this somewhere, i have only glanced at the thread but have you taken the reed switch out of the speedo? This thing is there as a speed limiter and 60 is about the limit it works at.

Thanks man, i've looked at your vid a couple times now, are you referring to the part going up and down, is that the pv - it looks like it's covering half of the port before it starts moving, is that it? Sorry, there are a few things i am still not familiar with yet

i havnt taken mine out yet but when i did before i sorted the pv out it didnt make any difference but my bike did struggle to go to 60 then lol, but when i looked at it i cant see how it makes any difference as it just slots into the whole and doesnt connect to anything

You need to take it out and tuck it out of the way somewhere, like I said its a limiter and you have left it in, as the workings of the speedo pass 60 then the reed will close...send a signal to the CDI and start to close down the PV, thats what it's there for. I cant explain why you think it made it worse when you took it out, perhaps you placed it somewhare that closed the reed switch contact. A simple check would be to check your PV operation when you have moved the reed.
