Its gone to a friend for £1800, dont worry he will treat it nice, told him to join the forum

he changed it for his ktm125sx road llegal, but a dt supermoto on oad is so much nicer to ride i think

Thats it for me boys, cbt's run out not going back on the road for awhile atleast, looking to get a dt for off road but cant seem to find one cheap enough

I think the dt's power makes it a beautiful ride aswell, just flows through the corners even with the throttle wide open

Have you done a good clean up of everything to do with air or fuel going in? What does it sound like? A video usually gives people a better idea

I'm probably used to it mate lol. Remembering that it's ported, tuned and custom ignition. It's okay, just not as quick as some other 125's I've ridden.

But I was on it for the last hour for a pleasure cruise and it really was slow.

Oh wait the carb's hanging out, yep that'll do it lmao!

Haha, but all that customization and no obvious result! C'mon somethings not working right, i bet my dt would out pace yours and its just got standard de-restriction...

Maybe its just got too many mods that just aren't working together, needs to be 'tuned'

Yeah I will do when the pipes on.

But from what I 've heard that ain't going to be any good. I've already gone through power output on a 125 and I already know that it will be low. With no other bike to compare it to it would just be a waste of money.

Not running air box mate. I'm hoping it's just the jettings off. If you watch all the videos you can see a noticeable increade in power.

I'll get it sorted.

Just remember never under-estimate the carb; too much fuel loss of power, too little loss, easy to drown the engine out with too much air or to starve it with none, get the correct ratios first otherwise you cant go anywhere, and get ghe carb cleaned also, i think i remember you having a bigger carb so now thats more working out/playing around to do to get it to run nice with the various other mods you've got

Always check the air filter aswell; make sure the sides aren't folded in and just the filter in general, make sure its not clogged up with s*** or anything to restrict the airflow

Good luck, im sure you'll sort it out being the brainy ba****d you are

For domeone who doesn't like engines...

Yeah it'd all brand new mate. New air filter, inlet, reeds carb isnused but new jetsm atomiser, needles etc.

I've got the standard TZR R carb settings and the bike wouldn't go anywhere. Had to heavily reduce the intske.

I'll get there. I've just scrapped throuh another mot today so now i can focus on getting the rest sorted. Got some tasty mods making its way to me in the post.

I hate engine internals, its easy to know how an engine works and what it needs but i dont care why it works like that and why it needs certain stuff to work
