Are the standard radiators not ally? Mine have lost paint but I don’t remember any rust?…

@primal-carnage I run that GPF301 gear lever and it fits straight on yes. Sticks out a bit more than the stock DTR lever but if you have a DTRe it actually clears the larger l/h engine cover very well.

The mot guy put an advisory on my bike about the lights at tickover. Reckoned that the stator was buggered. I tried to explain to him but ‘he had one when younger’ and so was right

@Calum The last one is the ticket I’m thinking about. Though with a slightly oranger yellow the ‘dt200 in black’ @HOTSHOT-III I was actually wanting a Ts 125 before I settled on an 88 Dtr I’m happy with my choice. Just wish I’d got a proper-running example rather than a messed with basket case! Oh well, choosy beggars, yada, yada! 🤪

Got the original paint on the frame scanned, problem solved and another DT going to be saved

@mhbikesnbits Reusuable? Sounds like they're better for the planet. Dude that YSS shock is lovely! I might have to sort myself out with one of those.

@mhbikesnbits Has to be the right year though. 1988-96... Otherwise not compatible...

@Calum thanks for answering

Yes thanks

@mhbikesnbits I am using a genuine one,old NOS if I recall correctly.I have made a modified backup from an XT600 (early model that has the clutch arm on the same side as the DT) was used but in excellent condition.

@TBthegr81 I just assumed you were UK based, hence the PJME suggestion. They’re good. I’ve brought a rebored cylinder that was done by a well known UK ‘reputable Tuner’ and it looked like dogshit... Notchy steering is well annoying! And yes, dangerous!...

@Calum hmm interesting it’s a option, got a lot of research to do on the radiator situation, my choices at the moment, source the Dt200r radiators, I also thought about buying a set of twin ally radiators and take them to a welder along with the dt brackets and say make me some new brackets with all these mounting points for on the frame and air scoops ect but weld new for these radiators and now these Lanza radiators could Also be a option

i know that this is quite a old conversation but if you still have the dt125 and you want more power, a yz125 1989-1993 engine atleast fits perfectly with the swingarm and you just have to make like 2 head mounts from sheet steel, i did that to mine cause well the cylinder fucked up and i had a yz laying around because i was doing a dyz project anyway, so i sold my other damaged dt125 frame and just built it in my main bike where i kept the dt frame for plates and the frame number and everything else on it is from a yz

@SpookDog yes the 200wr has an aluminum swingarm but so does my 125r (got a dt200r one) and I bet you are correct that loads of bits are the same. Oddly though the the 200 is narrower than the 125 with the linkage mount a different distance from the pivot so would not be a direct swap either

@johno Buy some straight bars?...

@4rw1n92 the only time I see intermittent spark is when the side stand switch , or kill switch, not wired in correctly.

@dtrsucklol if u not find i can sell u..bht not new.. Its working with all connectors

@markus-w i sell this bike for 1500$ But i buy another
