SM wheels on 1994 DT125R

[Calum]

Yeah not convinced about cheapest anything when it comes to my life in the hands of a motorbike lol.

Just save up and do it properly would be my advice.

Since the brakes on the DTR are pathetic, I'd recommend getting the full setup.

@Calum mine are great front will lock up if not careful the braided line makes a huge difference

[jonne123]

So if i buy front fork and wheels they should fit?

[declan]

@jonne123 yeah wr 125x forks fit

[jonne123]

If i make adaptor plate for dt125x brake caliper will the wheels fit in my dtr forks?

[Darty]

@jonne123 Yes. My current setup exactly.

[jonne123]

So i buy DTX rims, front brake caliper and its adapter. Then its ready to go and does the DTX rims have different speedometer drive so my speedo isnt messed up?

[Darty]

@jonne123 I believe they are different part numbers yes for the speedo drive, I use a DTX Speedo drive with mine.

But, beware DTX are waaay better forks, stiffer with less travel in them, they are also shorter than DTR forks which really helps the front end geometry for a Motard setup,

I have to run 30mm solid bushes in the DTR forks to take out the fork travel and make it somewhat reasonable to ride, otherwise I think it's pretty bad.

I know WR125R forks are better sprung out the box, and that is a straight swap, you can just run the non mechanical drive WR125R Speedo sensor to the OEM Digital clock, pretty smart setup

[jonne123]

@Darty So you recommend DTX front fork and DTX wheels. And what else Yamaha parts fit dtr like forks or rims?

[Darty]

@jonne123 Just get an entire DTX front end bud,

[NINJA]

As @Darty said, get the complete set-up for less hassle.

[jonne123]

So is it enough if i buy front forks. Will my yamaha dt 125 r front fork yoge holder fit those?

[jonne123]

Can you recommend some good street tires on my enduro rims?

[Calum]

@jonne123 Avon Distanzias were a thing back in the day...

[jonne123]

Which of these you would recommend?

@jonne123 I had Avon Trailrider tyres on my DTR and can highly recommend them;

[jonne123]

What is 4.10x18 and 2.75x21 tires in metric?

[NINJA]

@jonne123 said in SM wheels on 1994 DT125R:

What is 4.10x18 and 2.75x21 tires in metric?

110x18 and 80x21 are about the same;

You can go up slightly on the stock rims to;

120x18 and 90x21 but that's the limit really.

[DTR+NSR]

I'm running 120/80/18 and 90/90/21 Avon road riders on my dt. They are a little pinched up on the narrow dt rims. My plan was to have slightly wider rims laced onto the hubs. Still handles much better than on off road knoblies lol.

[jonne123]

So i buy avon trailriders or full street tires?
