I was just reading through that manual pdf version on my tea break. Attached it in case. Page 83 has the carb instructions. Not completely clear for a novice like me, but I think it's workable, the carb looks a bit different, but should be the same fitment. Like you said getting a hard copy is a must. Thanks for having a look for me Nick Service_Manual-DT125R.pdf

Do you mean within the carb or outside the carb around the idle screw and choke valve thingy? Basically I'm asking if you mean I can clean a hole up without opening or taking the carb off. I get home early this evening I can check it out while I do the spark.

The vin starts with a 4GW which is implies it's a 1995. From what I could tell from googling. Couldn't get my head or phone down the neck to see the rest of the numbers. I will spend some good amount of time on it this weekend to see. I hope it's not a German version import though, German ones were restricted more than any other to only 50mph, a Speedo rev restriction, easy to remove just annoying. I think I'll bite the bullet and get the German workshop manual, at the end of the day it's the diagrams and key words like torque values. Google lens to translate works well these days too.

Thanks for the replies! I forgot to add a picture, here you go ( plz ignore my messy garden) I've looked for a workshop manual Haynes don't do one for a TDR, I've checked their website too, googled all over for one. Unless someone got a link to one I've missed ? I've found a repair manual in GERMAN though haha guess I can use Google lens if I have no look finding a English one. Ps the only manuals I do have are the service manual, which ofc only show you how to change a spark plug etc I didn't think about the Japanese screws, I'll get a set! I've got torch wrench / all the other tools...I think but not for removing tyres. I've noted the rear tyre is not the standard size, smaller profile..I thought it looked smaller... Will be changing them both. A Motorbike garage is a mile or 2 down the road, so soon as it gets road worthy I'll be sending it there for a double check. I forgot about the chain! Yes I'll get that brushed up and cleaned, it needs doing too!

Hi people I just bought a TDR 125 from a 2 stroke collector. I used to have one when I was younger, now I want to get back into biking again, but this time as I'm older, learn how to do maintenance & repair a bike myself, make it a hobby. I'm a complete novice. So I'm asking for a nice check list I could run through to get this on the road again. This 1995 TDR has been sat for over 2yrs. Only has 11kmiles. It starts fine! But cuts out when you turn off the throttle. I am currently going to do this weekend- -drain all oils, 2 stroke tank, fuel and transmission, & replace. - change air filter - change spark plug - clean fuel tank and it's filter. - I want to clean the carbs jet, I am told it gets clogged if it's been sat for this long. No Idea how to get it off the bike yet, let alone I'm not that confident in opening a carb up yet. What else could I do or am I missing? Any one with experience on how to get the carb off this bike? I presuming it's the same steps as the Yamaha TZR and DT bikes? ( Same engine) Any advice for a newbie please throw at me
