2003 Yamaha Dt125R Project

Walney-Reptiles

Hey yall

Well iv owned this Dtr for 8-9years when i got it. It needed alot of work i got it back on the road and used it for green laning up the lakedistrict also for getting out on, after loosing my job i had to take it off the road..

So im going to start getting my dtr back on the road, its been sat in the back garden for 3+years uncovered.
i managed to get it to start last month and that got me thinking about getting it back on the road as you can imagine there is alot todo il post some photos below of its current state...

Im going to rebuild the engine once again with a new top end, new crank bearings and a new Carb new exhaust and all the cosmetics and brakes etc... but i want to convert it into a Supermoto style il upload photos along the way

(Dose anyone know any 2-Stroke tuners for when i have rebuilt the engine so i can get it running sweet as a nut?)

Calum

Aww this will be a sweet project to get stuck into.

Make sure you soak every nut and bolt in penetration fluid before commencing!

I look forward to seeing what you do with this.

Cheers mate i will do, most of them are stainless steel so there not to bad, im more worried about the swingarm bolt as it has a thing about getting sizred inside the steel spacer inside the engine casing, last time i had to wack it with a sledge hammer to get it out but it broke the threads, atho now i own a Die so should be able to re-thread it if needs be

Like a project when there all rusted up adds a nice challenge to it

Walney-Reptiles

@mhbikesnbits Aye i know what you mean it never used tobe like that, it was my pride and joy, il get her sorted, need help finding some USD forks that will fit both dirt wheel and supermoto wheel tho
