    Because of the powder-coating I will need new bearings and sealings for the swing arm and the connection metal piece thing (Nr. 13 in the picture: https://www.bike-parts-yam.de/yamaha-motorrad/125-MOTO/1997/DTR/DT125R/SCHWINGE/7_747-747/B21/0/1601). Any idea where I can get them cheap? Yamaha original is 43€ a piece..

        @declan An aftermarket set of koyo crank shaft bearings (set of 2) costs around 50€. Therefore 43€ for a single bearing without any sealing (it needs 4) seems pretty expensive to me.

          I got all mine from Simply Bearings. Might have been £50 all in. I really can't remember. But they're as good as OEM.

            @chiller1000 RAL7016 is a good choice and a bit different too.

            SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!

                  Wemoto to a partial kit and Fowlers have the rest - pricey though and will probably cost a pretty penny to do the whole lot

                    @chiller1000 Just use the "Search" feature.

                      @Calum Thanks a lot! Yeah I heard of that mighty "search" function, should use it more often.

                      @Nottsbiker Wemoto is nice but lacks some parts, Fowlers is like buying at the local Yamaha dealer 😥

                      Only shipping to Germany seems to be an issue. There is a great supply in UK, and almost no supply on the continent. Found a kit for the swing arm:

                      https://www.ebay.de/itm/ALL-BALLS-SWINGARM-BEARING-KIT-FITS-YAMAHA-DT125-1999-2006/274158085725

                      But for the linkage the only kit I found is the one you posted:

                      Do you maybe know another seller which does ship to Germany? I already emailed him and asked for it.

                        If you literally go to

                        simplybearings.co.uk

                        You can type the sizes of the bearings into their search engine and buy it from them.

                          @chiller1000 you should have no problem getting parts shipped from the UK to Germany as I've had loads of bits for my TDR shipped to me from across the EU this month.

                            @chiller1000 I got my swing arm kit from eBay used all balls kit the bushings and seals were really nice the bearings were a little cheap but that’s to be expected since the kit was only around 25 pound I would recommend that kit
