  @Stevie-Wonder said in WR swing arm: @Nottsbiker said in WR swing arm: @Calum there is a guy on the WR200 forum in the States thats putting a WR200 motor into a YZ125 rolling chassis Easier to sell DTR and buy WR or DT200WR - the 125 will probably fetch the same or better money than the 200 which ironically is by far the better bike Not to mention the £1000’s fo pounds you’d save buying parts from that bike for your 125. I’m doing my bike license soon and I can’t act like I haven’t considered going to France and buying a WR200, just like you said itd make a lot more sense Make sure you get the Carte Gris (v5 equivalent) and pay import tax for the NOVA declaration Download the Leboncoin app on your mobile as well - you may need a vpn to allow the download

  @declan said in Fork bushes: @Nottsbiker id like a kdx 200 or 220 i think they're a perfect balance between comfort and peformance Yes thats why I bought my DT200WR Had one years ago regretted selling it ever since so had to get another one.

  @Calum RIP Roller bearings @Stevie-Wonder It's pretty important to take the time and do this properly. Make a plan and draw your measurements out, mock it up and take some photographs. Pre 1996 YZ forks use the same spindle size as the DTR, that's the appeal.

  @SpookDog said in Swing arm & linkage seals: The Wemoto kit only covers the swingarm to frame bearings and seals You need to order the rest from Fowlers or CMSNL There is occaisionally a company on Ebay selling the pivot kit for the linkage at around £110 which is slightly cheaper than genuine but cant vouch for the quality I've gone with Wemoto and Fowlers for my TDR (same as DTR) and all in I think its approx £250 for all the bearings, bushes and seals etc. I also treated the bike to a YSS shock which was another £200 but way better than the stock unit Not a cheap job

  Thanks mate but does that go for my oil as well? Wasn’t sure if it has to be a certain type.. 500ml seemed to much but I take it that’s the right amount, And are those instructions correct for a super moto?

  The shorter the dog bones the taller the bike. The longer the dog bones the shorter it'll be. My DTR has 10mm shorter. But I am quite tall so it fits me perfectly. I can't sell these unfortunately, but they really are easy to fabricate. But there are plenty on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-DT125-Dog-Bones/313058777915?hash=item48e3c1db3b:g:dHUAAOSwfZpenLJm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-YAMAHA-DT125R-DT-125-R-DOGBONES-SHOCK-LINKAGE/133187016828?hash=item1f0290987c:g:qOkAAOSwOTldkQR0

  As mentioned they are a sealed unit I've gone down the YSS route for my TDR125 (same as DT125R) and it cost me approx £200 all in. Seems good quality and is adjustable too.

  Rounded off the second one got the bugger out in record time though, same way. I bet they’ve been in there since 88...

  @jonne123 my current 2000 dtr/ blue has red rear shock spring but my old 88 dtr black/red had a pink spring. Don't know if it's a colour code that actually means anything.

  @dtStevie98 See these threads bud, they will give you some ideas. If you can get hold of the full Aprilia MX 125 front end it will save you a lot of hassle, if not any other bike like a KTM/Yammy/Honda etc can be made to fit; https://dt125r.co.uk/topic/1020/dtdr-build And @Calum did a through guide on bearing cups here; https://dt125r.co.uk/topic/17/usd-conversion-bearing-cup-method

  WR 426f Forks on a DT

  @Glynn123 said in WR 426f Forks on a DT: Hi, I've just grabbed myself a real cheap set of WR 426f forks and front brake setup, still need to get triple clamps for it but looking to attempt to get it working on my DT. My DT currently has a wr200 front alloy wheel and I have an oversize disc which im 99% sure is the same size as the WR 426 front brake takes. My main problem, I have tackled many problems on bikes and could do anything engine related on the DT, but ive never tackled a fork swap, so im a little stumped on what im going to have to do. I have an old lathe and many other manufacturing tools, so I can make spacers etc if necessary. Anyone ever attempted this swap? if so help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! Glynn How did you get on with this? as i have just purchased some WR 426 F forks for mine
