Hi all. Just want to say hello and its nice to be to a newbie on the site. I've owned my DT125R for about three years now, its a French import now on a 1991 UK plate. I had a look around it when I first got it and it now has 9000 km on the clock. I was suprised to see electric start on such a early model with the electrics wedged into the LH outer casing. Since getting it I found out it was burning gear oil from the RH clutch side so I replaced the crank seal on that side, the hardest part was getting those 2 screws off the baffle plate and the bigger screw holding down the seal plate...RED locktight solid I hope to learn more about the bike through the forum, it needs a top end build.

Download Imgur and use it to post/host the pic. Then copy the link and post it here using the 3rd icon from left in the toolbar…

The coffin cover knocked it up myself, used the existing screws holding the cylinder.

Looks smart I do love custom bits my brother made me some of these chain adjusters
So much nicer than the OEM steel ones
What do you think?

Yeah the chain snails look smart, you can get aluminium ones on eBay for very little money. Needs the internal diameter reaming out mind you.

Hi the honing looks not bad, having to reduce the quality of picture loses the clarity a lot.

Forgeot to ask where's the best place to get the YPVS o rings/seals, I want to carry out a service on it whilst the barrels off.

Barrel I got from PJME waiting for rebuild…

It’s not easy getting the light right…

Actually, without a bit more definition it’s hard to tell. The real question is whether there’s a piston to fit your bore properly, or whether it’s going to be needing bore/honing again…
What does the slack measure?…
