can anyone tell me how to deristrict a 125 tzr yam??

check for a washer in the exhaust header held in with three spot welds...n turn the powervalve round so it opens up the exhaust fully(while the pipes off)...

f you have a motor on the powervalve...take out the bit of metal that looks like a top hat(as this only lets the pv open1/4 to 3/4)once done it should open from half to full...

switch on the ignition till it sweeps open then quickly turn the ignition off.....look up the exhaust port n c if the valve is flush ...well it should have a 1mm lip at the front...if your still stuck pm me your phone number n ill talk you through it...

Blimey Ted, you found one that is still restricted ! A good bike, even though i never even rode one, but i did ride the 125 lc

cheers, but we think it might just be the carb!! my son put it together, it,s his first bike!!

thought you had the only unmolested 125 in the uk....most have been raped by youfs by now(like we all did... )

only thing is, my 1st exp of 2/strokes was a francis barnett 225cc, my 1st bike, various twins, ambassedor ss, moto guzzi zigolo , which i think was a 110cc, and a few scramblers (as they were called then) greeves mcs, and the 100th greeves silverstone made!! wish i had the buggers now, but thanks for your ideas..

i once rode a dt125 to germany for a 10 quid bet......rode to weizbaden...780 miles each way.......


blew the crank seal on the way back n had to restrict it for the LOOOOOONNNG trip home...





i won the bet.....

KR1 Man calling. Another old 'stroker days' tale of yore! 1983, I had a MK1 DT125LC that was restricted and rode exactly the same as all the others, until........... I took out the restricting washer, found spot welds and cut the exhaust open in about 3 places, removed all baffle plates and brazed it all back up together, next we did the tailpipe. Put the whole lot back together and fired her up, WOW!!! Sounded more like a YZ125 than a DT125LC!!!!!!! Plenty of playing around with jetting &c, but once right, RD sprocket set and let's go chasing RD 125LCs'! Next came an X7 carb bored up to 34mm and a little bit more gained! Did'nt do anything else to it but great fun to ride until some FxxKwit nicked it about 3 months later.
