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.

Hey All! Due to personal circumstances I will be needing to suspend the DT125R Forum for an indeterminate amount of time. This is an advance notice to say that at some point, in the not to distant future, I will be switching off this forum. My intention is to relocate the forum/database hosting as the current situation is no longer economically viable. It is unclear at the moment as to what the future will be for this forum, but rest assured it will be back online in the fullness of time. I appreciate each and every one of you that contributes to this forum so there is a BIG thank you from me. Take care & keep smoking! Calum

I've got an update. It's been a while since I've got a new stator but there is some inconcistencies in the service manual. Before I mentioned that the resistances reading match the manual. But that's regarding the values mentioned in the troubleshooting section. I'm referring to page 8-11 in the ignition section point 7. source coil resistance. There they mention 192-288 ohms which was where my old coil was within. That's over both source coils if I'm not mistaken. However the new coil has different resistances. And those actually match the values in the manual on page 2-8 general specifications - CDI source coil. There they specify both resistances: 730 and 600 ohms +-20%. So it seems there is an issue in the manual but also my old stator matches the troubleshooting value and the new one the ones in the general specifications... Regarding the old measurements. It turned out that the voltage in the traces above are the same for the two coils in series as well as for the small one alone. The big one actually outputs 0V so there is definitely a short under load in the bigger coil. Regarding the new coil. I measured both independent and I got a sine wave with 90Vpp (peak peak) for the smmall and for the bigger one around 460Vpp. So way more than before. If anyone is interested in the scope traces I can upload them as well. So I decided to just give it a try and it worked just fine and I've got spark again!! Buuuuuut.. the first test run, after roughly 50km I lost the spark again. Turned out that the stator got that hot that the solder liqifyed and all the cables detached from the source coil.. Also the stator tooth touched the flight wheel at some point since I saw some scratches. So I thought that's the cause why it overheated. So adjusted everything a bit and resoldered the cables and it worked for some time now without scratching and overheating. Until yesterday.. after some time going up hill the bike just turned off again and barely started again. I just made it home. Today I've checked it again and one cable was again detached from the coil. Now I'm thinking if the overheating was the root cause all the time which might also destroyed the old coil. But this leads me to the question what could cause this overheating. Could it be that the engine generally runs too hot? Does anyone have a clue what it could be?

Due to the exposure that these bearings receive, it's recommended to grease them. The bearings themselves are exposed to a grease nipple so you should be able to just apply grease through their nipples directly.

I don't mess around when it comes to fueling. Just buy the genuine kits. I can't guess about how much I have spent on Dellorto odds and sods, but now have a healthy collection of bits should I ever need to jet my bikes I can breathe easy know it's all legit parts.

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