    @madmackie No worries If you get the P45T bulb in the link it should fit straight into the light/wiring, P45T fitting is similar to the more common H4 but not identical. I don't know of any other Yamaha that uses P45T bulb fitting but every DTR I've ever owned has had it. Copied and pasted from Google AI Overview: P45T and H4 are both dual-filament (high/low beam) headlight bulbs, but they differ primarily in their base diameter and application. P45T features a large 45mm round base often found on older classic vehicles, while H4 (specifically P43T) has a smaller 43mm base standard on modern cars. Key Differences: Base Diameter: P45T is 45mm; H4 (P43T) is 43mm. Application: P45T is used for older, vintage European cars and motorcycles. H4 is for modern vehicles. Interchangeability: They are not directly interchangeable, but adapters exist to fit H4 bulbs into P45T housings. Performance: Both come in halogen, but H4 is more commonly found in higher-wattage, brighter variants. Summary Table Feature P45T (R2/H5) H4 (P43T) Base Shape Large Round Smaller Round/Triangle Base Diameter 45mm 43mm Vehicle Age Classic/Vintage Modern Availability Harder to find Ubiquitous

    RD and DT LC are the same block, but gear ratios differ. RD has a close ratio gearbox and DT has a wide ratio. Close ratio is not ideal if you want to go offroad IMO. Primary drive with clutch and 'middle shaft' length differs in the the LC engines I compared. Definitely get a LC YPVS engine if you go that route, -more usable power than without power valve. I have a DT LC YPVS close to stock, I reshaped the head and installed a Zeeltronic and put in 0,3mm carbon reed petals, the rest is stock. Goes well and has really good midrange torque for a 125. I think the DTR and TZR engines are the same block too, but there is probably the same gear ratio difference, and possibly more I have not tried dropping in a DTR engine in a LC frame (have only one DTR engine and many LC's), but have thought about it. Let us know if you try it!

    @Stevie-Wonder Thanks bud Greta (for that is her name as she's noisy, irritating, aimed squarely at the youth market and responsible for thousands of them bunking off school all over the world) cost me half as much as my '93 due to the mileage and had a thick layer of grime all over due to years of grinding commuting. I gave her a scrub with Jizer (several times) and this is what was underneath Here are the part #s for the toolbox and lid, bit pricey IMO and you'd have to get the lugs welded on to a non-e start frame. Be a nice touch if you were getting it powdercoated sometime though https://www.cmsnl.com/products/boxtool_55v2817301/ https://www.cmsnl.com/products/lid_55v2818500/

    @Darty The sad fact about all this is such a wonderful bike, lovingly built and very well restored, will hit the scrapheap well before it's time. And once the dust has settled, I'm sure that the outcome of all this will be valuable experience and a hard lesson learned by @Biker_123. As I'm sure from now on he will vet any potential buyers and protect himself much more in the future!!!

    On a serious note though (last post also serious mind) I'd send that thing back. It's clearly been sat in his toilet for the last year or so. If it's going anywhere near your engine you want bits that aren't half dead from the get go

    Try here @ConnorDTR http://www.bikerpartshop.com/en/91-blackbird-racing-stickers-seat-cover-for-yamaha-dtr-125-dt125r.html?ps_full_site=1 that's the only link I have but once there have a look on the stickers section they had some nice ones the last time I was on! I found some decent graphics kits for the DTR on eBay there's a guy selling mx style ones last time I searched for DTR graphics some had numbers with them and you can customise the number and add a name etc think the kits where £99 or best offer so quite expensive .

    @John1 Just the MOT checker alone gives you quite a lot of details about the history of the bike and how well it's been cared for. It tells you a story about it's life and how the owners have treated her. Such basic things like worn tyres and brake pads suggest she's been ridden hard. Failures for high emissions and excessive smoke suggest lots of high revving and infrequent servicing. Worn chains and sprockets suggest heavy handedness on the throttle. Faulty headlights, indicators, brake lights etc. suggest wiring problems. Parts will naturally wear out over time, but an owner who cherishes their bike will check all of these prior to a test and fix any problems if need be, so that she stands a good chance of passing first time. Regular servicing and spanner-time will tell you how well the bike has been looked after. Also look at the reasons for failure's and the advisory's too, if the same one's reoccur then it's safe to say that the bike has had a hard life. Try this little test and see for yourself. This is a bike I was looking at today, I was quite shocked when I ran the MOT checker. Just click the link above and enter these details below and you will see why. Check the MOT history of a vehicle Registration number: DX56BYO Vehicle make APRILIA In comparison enter these details of another bike and you will see a vast difference. Check the MOT history of a vehicle Registration number: DX57FXZ Vehicle make APRILIA Also check the yearly mileage recorded, the top bike readings are pretty shocking and it looked really good too!!! :O(

    Cheers guys, I'll keep a look out on eBay, I don't mind something that needs a good clean or a skim, I've skimmed a head before on a piece of glass with fine grinding paste haha and it came out well, just as Calum said it needs to not have any pitting or damage on the combustion chamber, and it's hard to make out in pictures sometimes

    I did this on my old KLR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJb5IPOx2l0 It takes a long time, but the results are great. Haven't got around to doing to my DT yet, but it's on the list.

    @mad73 it's strange as I've done the same thing countless times to and always ended up with the v5 no questions asked but this has left me curious now lol. I've emailed them clear pictures of the frame number and mot certificates and they have the green slip so pretty weird was worried incase someone had tried to clone the bike or something haha guess Ill just need to see.
