DT125R ARCHIVE

Did you get the underslung or wrap around one?

Hmmm, for the same price as the DEP I can have a stainless upper pipe. May actually go for one

I never really liked the big one expansion chambers, they always looked cheap and nasty. The pedmoto does look very nice, however so does the hand made exhaust. Also on ebay i keep seeing gianelli systems from £180, i'm wondering if they're any good

NorDT i think it was, just had a gander. He said it was more for top end and the dep was more for lower grunt. Hmm decisions, i may aswell just go with one of the hand made ones. They seem proper good quality for the price

Seems like this project is going to be pushed to the back of my list of priorities now :(

Looks like i'm back, it's been a while since i've posted and now it looks like we're moving to a new site?

Well since my absence i've still been working on my bike a little bit.

It still isn't much, bat a damn sight more than what it was before. The engine is now finished, it had a new topend with a 57mm piston. New carb is on, a mikuni tmx30 which has taken a fair bit of fettling to get into the intake manifold, airbox and even getting the throttle cable to fit. I had my first go at painting, i did the airbox in white to match with the plastics. It definitely isn't the best and will have to be redone. Also my stator is now in, just need to get a nut and washer to hold it on. CDI is in place and so is the coil. Was getting a spark plug cap in the post however it got damaged, new one should be here tomorrow. Also now this bike has a key and ignition, kickstart and few other pieces. Going to be getting an exhaust and put the oil pump on this month. Should MAYBE see it start this month if not next month.

I really did not know what i was getting myself into, a lot of work has gone into this and i'm still getting nowhere.

There's still masses of wiring to be done, i'm wondering what actually needs to be plugged in sensor wise. Will not having a sidestand switch stop it from starting? Etc.

Side stand switch will need to be bridged mate if you're deleting it.

Also LMAO at that regulator with like 5-6 washers on it. Perhaps the right size bolt wouldn't go a miss :D

Nice build tread looking good so far

Not what you want but worst case scenario put those on it. I can't say I see any difference.

We now have spark! And plenty of compression too. My bits today came from wemoto, long list but everything to hook up the battery, gear lever, air filter, spark plug, reed valve gasket. Plus i added some carbon fiber reeds (not too sure on them, they don't look like proper carbon fiber :/). this is my first bike with a kickstart and it sure is hard to kick, did just have a fresh top end so i'm judging that's why. See people on youtube easily turn it over and start their bike with their hand!

But that's all for this month, car insurance at 18 is a killer. Hopefully should have my exhaust from romeu by the end of the month, just need an oil pump, boost bottle and petrol tank and this baby should (hopefully) start. Would be nice to hear it for once.

I've also won another left hand switch, side stand and right hand switch for just £10 + shipping, hope the connectors are still on the switches.
