DT125R FORUM

Forum patched and updated. Fixed some database corruption issues which was having a knock-on effect with emojis so hopefully they're working now.

@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.

Hello Welcome to the forum Yes, photo uploading is disabled as I host all of this myself and imagine hosting is expensive. Imgur was the preference, but is now blocked in the UK and therefore cannot be viewed here But yes a build thread would be awesome.

It sounds to me like the relay. So the starter motor button isn't wired directly to the starter motor as the starter motor requires a lot of current. Instead the wire is connected to the relay and the relay activates the starter. So I'd look in that general vicinity, sounds like it's starting to go faulty, which isn't bad considering it's age and the high amperage that it is subjected to.

Have you got access to a compression gauge? Can you measure the health of the engine?

There were chaps on here that used to do something very similar but to the UK. Go down with a van and collect 5 or 6 bikes at a time. Definitely worth while if it means you get the right bike. My Dad imported a Lambretta GP from Brussells a few years ago, was no hassle.

Also don't forget to change bulb in light cluster for an led Kind regards
