@2stroketerry well maybe my experience it bet my cat on it being the dog bone semi seized

Yeah heard good stuff about that

Starts to wobble at 70mph and greater when when I suddenly let off the throttle with the clutch engaged? As long as throttle is on, there is no wobble at all past 70mph, although the faster I go before I let off the more violent it gets.

All bearings are fine as are swinging arm bearings, bushes etc. Tyres are
bridgestone nobblies standard size.

@darty said in Rear dog link bolt diameter:

@NINJA Your mad, 1mm clearance is not acceptable for concentric fits under load here??

Thanks for enlightening me!!! 🙂

Burnt the rubber. I have done loads of these in the past, not on the shock of a dt, but when I polybushed my car I had ton take out loads of them and they are never easy.

@sgt-robuck-5 Just havea look anyway.

Poly bushes last a life time and give many benefits.

Them Haynes manuals are worth their weight in gold!!! 😉

@nottsbiker that's exactly what I'm struggling with - I've tried an old wooden curtain pole trimmed down but I can't shift it - absolute pain in the balls

@vtrn_raptor See this thread and speak to @tdrgreg2

He used a set of Aprilia MX 125 USD's which were almost a direct bolt on, just one spacer required.

https://dt125r.co.uk/topic/1020/dtdr-build

He gave me these dimensions :

Bottom of the stem is 30mm
Top bearing inside diameter is 28mm.
Top to bottom length is 250mm.

Anyone measure or have measurements for the DT?

I considered the hyperpro progressive springs for mine, but they were listed for the R not the X that I've got. Glad I didn't buy them because mine already had progressive springs in!
I went with 15w oil and it's much better now

No worries - gf has a nuclear red Speed Triple or pink in the real world 😉

Might as well get some USD forks if you are going to be getting a new set to fit the bike, as most forks will need modifications done for correct fitting.

I really can't remember or find the invoice.

I think this is it.

Black shock has spacer in in not a bearing does it need a roller pin bearing (bottom end)

Cough **** Approx £80 per stanchion including VAT. Upper bushes approx £10 each including VAT. By the time all seals and oil are replaced we will be at something like £250. If it was a Honda we'd have just replaced the bushes and have been at £120 all in. Obviously no labour in that as we're doing it ourselves.
