DESCRIPTION
The DEP Nickel Finish Expansion Chamber is a performance two-stroke exhaust pipe designed specifically for the Yamaha YZ125 and YZ125X. Handmade in the UK by DEP's experienced engineers, each two-stroke exhaust system is dyno and track tested to deliver performance gains over the standard OEM exhaust system.
Finished with a durable nickel-plated coating, this expansion chamber combines DEP's performance-focused design with a consistent shine that's easier to maintain than a traditional bare steel pipe. It is designed to work with both OEM and DEP silencers, making it suitable as a performance upgrade while retaining your existing compatible silencer.

Installation Notes
~ Compatible with OEM and DEP silencers
~ Initially fit the expansion chamber loosely to its mounting points
~ Fit the silencer before fully tightening the expansion chamber fixings
~ Once correctly aligned, tighten all mounting hardware
~ Some DEP pipes feature intentionally flattened sections to provide clearance around the frame, engine or coolant hoses
Jetting
For a standard, unmodified motorcycle, DEP recommends retaining the standard jetting settings unless otherwise specified.
For modified engines, the fuel mixture should be checked after installation and adjusted where required. DEP recommends checking the spark plug for correct mixture or consulting an experienced engine tuner.
