DT125R FORUM

Merry Christmas everyone!

@HOTSHOT-III Hopefully the issue gets resolved as I don't want to lose the data they're hosting. The important stuff I ought to host here to guarantee it isn't lost.

@Rat80y The drain bolt stretching is a common thing on the DTR, IMO it's a design feature as if you overtighten it it usually snaps. Whilst being a right PITA to get the clutch cover off and wind out the broken part, it does mean the thread in the crankcase is saved (new crankcases = much more difficult/expensive than taking off an engine cover) so I hope you've ordered genuine from Fowlers (get a load of copper washers as well for future gearbox oil changes). Tightening torque is 15Nm so it's also well worth getting yourself a 1/4" drive torque wrench like this one: https://planetx.co.uk/products/jobsworth-pro-torque-wrench-set-1 There is some truth in both your AI source and what your friend said. In the days of the 12bhp learner restriction, DTRs with the powervalve pinned shut would struggle to rev beyond 6k rpm but properly set up/derestricted/full power it should rev to around 10k.

Oh that's really cool! Well it looks well loved for, it's an appreciating classic that's for sure. I don't know of anyone who's done that conversion. The common one from back in the day were the Polysport conversions, but they're more enduro so not designed for peak brightness

Thanks for the help, but I'm pretty sure that on these diagrams a wire branches off to another when there is a black point at the connection, so if one wire crosses another wire but there is no black point at the connection than they're not supposed to connect, and the diagram makes it like this so the diagram can be small. I haven't seen this diagram but if my theory with the black points are correct then the POS isn't supposed to turn on the small bulb as there is no connection with the left handlebar switch, only the main switch (for the stop/aux light which is working on my bike). My question is if the pos isn't connected to the small bulb, and neither to the main bulb, then what is it supposed to do/why is it there?

After some research I did manage to find the sizes, and some more detailed photos so now I can actually buy some. I do think that it's rather a stopper or something than an adjustment tho obviously it changes the needle height, either way I'm sure they're important. Thank you all for the help!

@Calum That site is known even more year's!!!!!
