 Hi everyone , it's been awhile but I'm back at it. My little dt125 could use a little something extra, if anyone knows any helpful mods please share. Thanks

Welcome back. The best mod i can think of it swap the top end for a 175.
You wont be disappointed--so long as your exhaust isn't in need of a burn out.
I did that to my older 125 & never looked back.
Well--if i 'did' look back everyone was behind me trying to keep up lol.
