    @calum I can honestly say I’ve never saw any apart from two rear quarter panels also why do they fade so easy are they cheaply made or something

        @declan Fade, mine never faded. Used daily. As said his has been in a hedge.

            @declan Yeah, probably just because they never really get looked after to be fair. I replaced mine because the previous owner wrote the bike off down the road and they were road rashed. And then it got nicked which further road rashed them. No fade though.

              One of my originals was faded, I put it down to that side being parked facing a window or something.

                Evening chaps. Just bought myself a project. 2004 dt125re. Been in a hedge for 6 years but in surprisingly good condition. Started to strip it for a full rebuild. Powder coated frame etc. It's not seized, starter works, battery is ok so looking good so far. Exhaust is in pieces though

                  Any body know how the speedo cable comes out of the wheel end? Didn't want to pull too hard but it's stuck
                  Thanks

                    It's only a push fit, maybe it's rusted in? Try soaking some WD40 into it

                      @finnerz89 Pretty sure it's a screw thread is it not?

                          @calum I was assuming he'd figured out the screw thread part already lol

                            @finnerz89 And what do they say about assumptions. It's the brother of all fuck ups.
