DT125R FORUM

Any decent fan kits to mount to the radiator? Adjustable thermo activated switch, shrouded to pull air through from the rear of the radiator?… I’ve got some work to do first, there was oil scum in the radiator and I guess all the way through the thermostat, pump and system. (I’m wondering if the stat is all gummed up) The pump rotor and seals were replaced when I rebuilt the bottom end… It’s not the head gasket blowing though, it’s not pushing coolant into the expansion tank or noticeably lowering the level in the radiator. I had problems with a slight step in the casings at the rear of the barrel which I thought I had fixed. There’s a ‘wet line’ between the barrel and inlet manifold that seems to support my theory. I’m waiting on a new genuine base gasket, thermostat and some Loctite VHT copper RTV sealant, as well as the thermostat and gasket…

Sadly I badly injured my back at work a few months ago, so I've been unable to do any work on the bike since the injury. My back is getting much better now so hopefully I'll be able to restart working on this project again real soon.........

@Minia yes, my spare one..if they sell they sell or I'll just keep them

Once again, many thanks

@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.

@pedrobatista10 I'm sorry to hear that. BMW550d sounds nice though. At least you're still alive and breathing and it is good to hear from you. Maybe one day you can get an adapted shifter two stroke kart and enjoy that

@oldman Personally I would return the damaged one straight away.

Make sure that the air waves are cleared on your bike, you don't seemed to have mentioned this. So there is nothing nasty blocking your intake solution. A quick, dirty, way to confirm this is to just remove the airbox to carb joiner and take it for a quick run. Sounds like it's running rich, so doing this should cause the bike to lean out. If it's only for a short time it shouldn't hurt. You just want to know if it's getting air. So check the airbox and renew the filter if you find that removing the boot fixes the issue. The other common problem is water getting into the exhaust expansion chamber. So cleaning the exhaust is really vital for a two stroke. I've seen this before where a bike was sat for a long time and the exhaust was full of fluid. The bike would refuse to run if this was the case.

@vtrn_raptor I got one of those Cyclone alarms, which is perfect for my use case. A full paid tracker system can really save your bacon.

@donaldmendez Thanks, it didn't take anyway near as long as I thought to get it up and running. I've just been doing some final touches. I'm going to ride this one on nice days Here's how she stands now.

@Calum I’ve been hovering around, admiring the good work here

@finchfocker I myself just bought the DCCDIP1 race. Seems like a great unit, just programmed myself a ignition map to start off with, hopefully I'll get a chance to plug her in soon!

@HOTSHOT-III No, I believe it's a Yamaha DT230 Lanza arm. But yes it's like half the weight of the original one I had. I just need to get the right parts machined up to fit my wheels etc. I've been so spent on 4/5 other very expensive projects that I just haven't bit the bullet yet to order the machine shop work. With regards to mudflap where, I'll probably design some sacrificial item in CAD and 3D print it. @RikuRo I've sent you various links. Any DTR from 1989-2004 will do.

Imageworks did them for me, have been really helpful doing most of my graphics. Much better than Facebook ones, good quality comparable to genuine.

@calum I've ordered a crank now I'll see what I end up with

@louis-james Don't know about TZR cylinders. But 3MB 3MBP 4FU Are bolt ons. The 3BN has a slightly bigger bore, so shorter stroke, as a result, a 3MB con rod will bit too long.

Norwp, I needed to make sure that I could physically mount it to the radiator aswell. But thanks for your concern

@darty Ideal for you to get on the restoration vibe
