Hello people had my 2002 DT125R for about 10 months now. Its my first bike at 17. already getting to know the bike have take off the carb as i thought it was dirty but it wasent was fun though. recently finished my first 2500 miles absolutely loving it. Can't get enough of the 2 stroke acceleration, recently convinced a mate to also get a DT he's getting insured tomorrow so many good rides to come.
yea mine have started to get a bit scrapy though, may get the 2009 ones I think they are really nice, I want to get a dep expansion chamber, new front light, front fender and new indicators then I should be sorted...
also need to clean the bottom of my engine as the idiot who last owned it put the outlet tube/pipe from the carb on to the engine and the idiot I am did not notice so now the underneath has black sticky stuff all over it, will sort it when i get money for new expansion chamber.
how do u gut them? one of my mates has a dt with full DEP system and it has a bit more pull when the power valve hits than mine... would gutting it make it the same ? is it risky? and tbh i love the chrome expansion chamber looks wayyyyyyyy too nice :)
it makes it more powerful than a dep pipe mate ...
to gut it you cut along the fattest part of the pipe (theres already a weld to cut across anyways) then theres 2 half moons that you get out somehow..
then in the beginning of the exhaust just as it comes off the engine theres a big washer that your need to grind out ...
motorbike garages wont do it for you .. engineering places would, welders etc etc. Cost you about £30 to do in total including paint if you had someone do it for you..
thanks for the comments and help... rode down to brighton last summer, the ace cafe burn up. we should get a large amount of dt's to go down would be jokes
