    I spoke to a few of my friends who used to have DT's and they said that the speedo drive gearing is made to work with the KMH speedo, so i have to change the speedo drive to get the MPH speedo to register at the correct speed. Does anyone know where I can get a British speedo drive for a Yamaha DT125R 2003 from?

    @BlueMoto Fowlers stock them new or try ebay for a used one.

      @NINJA thanks for the link. I didnt know fowlers had the unit listed as i was looking in the wrong place, i was looking in the DT125 2003 area not the DT 125 R 2002 area. Im going to look into getting that. Thanks! :grinning_face:

        Ive just remembered, ive got some supermoto rims being made for my DT and the rim size is the same as the DTX so im not too sure if I sould get DTX speedo assay or the DTR speedo assay.

        Its mostly going to be in SM trim when I get the bike back from the shop with the odd occasion i decide to go full dirtbike mode.

          @BlueMoto The later 2000's DTR's are pretty much all the same. If you will be swapping the wheels from time to time, then I would suggest getting the correct speedo drive for each wheelset. Then swapping the drive's whilst swapping the wheels would be a simple task. 😉

                        @BlueMoto Yes, I prefer the Koso units but the Trailtech units have a good reputation as well.

                          @BlueMoto yes I've got one on mine. Works a treat - bit of wiring to do and I made a mounting plate as the one you get with it is a bit naff.
