Ive got shiny red a scooter tuner on facebook and people are always asking him to lighten the magneto on their scooters so it must be a mod worth doing.
I'd imagine itll help your engine spin up faster, but at the sacrifice of torque?
what does this magnito do? where abouts on the bike is it? and is it on there for a reason lol, or is it a weight to restrict the speed a little bit?
It's just a dead weight Yamaha put in the engine to slow it down since 2 strokes have 2x the power of 4 stroke and UK have set restrictions on how much power a 'learner legal' 125 can have Same goes with the power bands, they only put bog standard black ones on standard DTR's but if you get a different coloured one it''ll be a right monster, I think it's red that makes it wheelie better/easier and blue that makes it have the same top speed/power as the RS125 oh and the green one makes for better petrol consumption (green as in better for the environment, not filling the tank up as much) Problem with power bands is that you've gotta take the whole cylinder off just to put them on (you put them inbetween the piston rings)
That's about it really, any questions and I'll try and help further
Okay I'm back but on a serious note.. I'm 95% sure my RE's flywheel was the same as the TZR one posted in the eBay link! Well it looked remarkably similar, it's been too long since I've had a DTR. might swap my KLX for one if I ever get the chance
EDIT: so where is the magnito in the engine lol,, is it easy to get to?
Its behind the left hand side engine cover, at a guess theres about 8 bolts holding the cover on, unscrew them and youll be able to get to it, there is no oil in there so dont worry about that.
srt will do it but he charges like 35 on a trade in service on peds and tbh not worth it. that guy makes some money from ideot kids wanting stupid stuff done to there peds
