@markus-w I like the bottom one but looks too modern. Yes anyone who gets the refe of Lucille will. Genuinely built in the closet thing we've had to the apocalypse

@Phil-k Nice bike and welcome to the club!!!

The shorter the dog bones the taller the bike. The longer the dog bones the shorter it'll be. My DTR has 10mm shorter. But I am quite tall so it fits me perfectly. I can't sell these unfortunately, but they really are easy to fabricate. But there are plenty on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-DT125-Dog-Bones/313058777915?hash=item48e3c1db3b:g:dHUAAOSwfZpenLJm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-YAMAHA-DT125R-DT-125-R-DOGBONES-SHOCK-LINKAGE/133187016828?hash=item1f0290987c:g:qOkAAOSwOTldkQR0

Oh yeah! Could it be needing a decoke? PV sticking in the bushes maybe?...

Dt’s don’t die! They just slowly fade away (if they’re treated right) any 2 stroke does. Which is the issue, did the power loss come on slowly over time or just happen? Slowly would suggest normal wear to rings like the man said... I’m wary of anything that claims to fix without work. Apart from that teralyne/whatever they pump through 4 strokes. But 2T are different, like you say, anything that breaks down carbon is not likely to be lubrication friendly to your bearings...

Hey! You weren’t wrong, there is a paper gasket. I was wrong about the oring though. It’s to big for the coolant pipe

Think Unit 5 Motos have a similar 200 in for £2200 that needs some work

What one are you on about? https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/4189513/dt125re-1d02-2005-030-a/clutch Can you not just use something like this? https://www.toolstation.com/spring-washer/p83526

I mean, there are loads of used ones on eBay. I've ran plenty of used spindles without problems.

Just done the one on my 3SH - when you put the new one in make sure that you cover the gear lever shaft with tape so it does not damage the seal when you push it through. Budget for a new clutch cover gasket and oil as well. BTW do not lose the clutch ball bearing!

I thing i test hose clamp before anything

You would need to remove the indicators and remove any signs of a switch. I used to take mine to scooter red on arle lane. But I don't know if he's still there. So you can take it to AGM on Bouncers Lane. Just tell them before hand that it has no indicators nor switch beforehand.

@Calum thanks Callum, yeah I’m sitting a bit more advanced than that but a similar curve, I’ll compare better later and update, but I’m at 14 degrees timing at around 10k rpm

I did my mains recently and one of the seals was tight. I had to clean it up a bit with some really fine wet and dry, just to kinda deglaze it. Lite smear of grease on the seal and it went in easy. Don’t forget the right seal is one sided. It should have outer wrote on one side. Also it doesn’t go all the way in. It sits flush with the outer edge (or it does on mine 1988 3bn). It shouldn’t be a bear to fit cause it’s only the outer that’s touching anything, unless you left the spacer in the crank. You just need a longer tube to drift it...

@SpookDog my spare tyre is an enduro Mitas tyre I forget the bias but it seems like the ultimate green laner to me it has flatter edges so you can corner confident on the road check it out

That’s a damn good idea, I’ve always resorted to molegrips to turn the piston. Gentle heat (boiling water) and pumping the lever sometimes works if it’s not been standing seized for ages. So long as you have replacement rubbers... I’m guessing that the brake was working before?...

@Calum thanks for the reply callum. I have a good source of parts so can get the head no problem

@Calum Amazing thank you, i'll give it a try now
