Okay, a few more NOS parts ordered and now the primary drive gear, clutch basket and generator nut all torqued to spec! [image: clutchAssembly01.jpg] All 6 TZ750 clutch springs fitted with brand new clutch plates and NOS OEM damper rings installed. I also replaced the factory pressure plate with a gorgeous billet RDLC Crazy pressure plate. [image: clutchAssembly02.jpg] It's said to have better oil flow and looks to have a fair amount machined out of it, but I was surprised to see it's slightly heavier than the factory setup. [image: clutchAssembly03.jpg] This milestone marks the completion of the bottom end There's just the matter of the water pump to install, I was really hoping to get a Chariot Performance uprated one, but they're no longer manufacturing them. And then there is a company that makes a stunning carbon fibre generator cover/chain guard. I did have my eye on a Chariot Performance one, but again they seem to no longer be making them sadly. The cylinders are booked in with Mick Abbey for some mild porting work, then the heads need to be sent off for machining. But once that's done it will mark the engine work completed for this project and I will turn my attention to the frame. The frame has now been moved into the garage and I'm just trying to figure out how/where the steering damper should be fitted!

I do need to get back out on this bike! The front brake disc failed (annoyingly as this wasn't cheap) and the battery died over winter, even though it was on trickle charge, again very annoying. I did manage to get some nice bits for this bike, but I've only manage to get around to fitting one of the parts as the bike is in a storage unit and I don't have all the tools there to do all the bits. Firstly I have this beautiful VHM gold skull cap. [image: vhmSkullCap.jpg] I look forward to getting this fitted. I also have a pair of these beautiful carbon infills for the side panels (if I can remember where I've put them). I will fit these when I do the skull cap as it requires taking the fairings off. This week a special parcel arrived from Italy, which was a beautiful carbon fibre rear seat infill to replace the FRP one I had there originally. [image: carbonRearSeat01.jpg] It almost looks plastic dipped in that photo, but I can assure you it's the real deal. [image: carbonRearSeat02.jpg] Very happy with the fit and finish (although the seat wasn't placed down properly in this photo, hence the gap). [image: carbonRearSeat03.jpg] Just buzzing to get out back on it now that summer is here! [image: carbonRearSeat04.jpg]

Forum patched and updated. Fixed some database corruption issues which was having a knock-on effect with emojis so hopefully they're working now.

@vtrtomuk Yeah, just have to enjoy it for what it is sadly. I have had mine ported and got lots of supporting mods to boot. It goes alright, but my Aprilia decimates it completely. Still nice bike to have and you can get some improvements out of it.

Hi Glenn welcome to the Forum. It's very quiet on here these days, everything migrated to Meta a long time ago, but I feel the real enthusiasts will remain here Sounds like you've got a wealth of experience with these bikes, almost feels criminal to be breaking them nowadays though, price of them are soaring.

glad you got it sorted with the round slide carb fitted now bud

Do you mean dual piston caliper? Or do you want two calipers 🤭 https://ebay.io/m/yOnXyn Or have one made using Nevs design [image: 27961158925_26ab4db984_c.jpg] https://dt125r.co.uk/topic/1343/dt125-front-brake-caliper-bracket-dimensions/2?_=1772783708212

A Chinese one would do enough for what it is... A dirt bike older then me waiting for it's resting day

I'd would just listen to hotshot-iii - https://dt125r.co.uk/topic/3551/do-pipercross-air-filters-really-flow-better-at-all I haven't ran an airbox on my DTR for 10+ years and I just used the stock filter the time I had it. So I don't have any opinion on it.

@Calum said: These were almost a nightmare to source 16 years ago, I can't imagine trying to source one now. My bike was stolen in 2010 and they smashed my headlight, the only one I could find at the time at one of the lugs snapped off. Looks like there is one for sale on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/117220896053?_skw=DT125re+headlight&itmmeta=01KTM8B5217RAZTYS7W99928FR&hash=item1b4ae8ed35:g:y7gAAeSwpAdqHbG7&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xBZmLIU--K9J71U9lN1jJvKGElmcMKBjUzhn5JV3gvFr%2BI2mNwns0SlbUycS%2Bw9y3Qsk%2FC9Cp56dPrHcSEz%2FAr0Zq5el9BEEdpE--23lnRC8fU0%2Fsn13ryM871mf1jmM1dUjkmiSvaLNgJjb67pd3KfdVjuND8nPx720y4ajz9BPqgS8GUW%2FCNLpWF1MTDMkYcIXC7cHLcpOan7woIP1A2k2vjESEOPdlk4W2oy4yUcxyO%2BXWy347GqH%2BHrWnu%2F2Og%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5bRrIjVZw Looks like there are some copies on eBay as well: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/188014865985?_skw=DT125re+headlight&itmmeta=01KTM8B521KCQCFP6HVFB9B97Z&hash=item2bc68f2e41:g:v4oAAeSwOt5pf0Q6&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xBGAd3jIpQ1I%2FPeoct0WRAbZx%2BSpsbDaUmQIjZgqRPgUJo7nG5bGWKGBRZtJJ4k6kWqRTJdLi2QjCbWA%2FBE6jgcnSjbxqmpxc5alD7AkePHPryhwNx3wJMQx9Nn2c%2FJBb%2FaX0A7Z%2BlEzJ6pVoqrlh3sZUh2UZ%2BqkVZwe2vBfwA2F39HuV9O1D2z%2FSIMHbNWWFAOiiE%2BG%2F8xlRqkrAHFOwt3oKAIwYBpeHVG82hZBHdODyJwGkKG5Ef9gkphJk0fgSnlvoW%2FpV6wkCrHIDEqggbFJ3LfV5W5qwYpTWvJNjb1RA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5bRrIjVZw Thanks for helping and sorry to hear about the theft/ damage. I had a different bike stolen around the same time period and wasn’t so fortunate with them burning it 2 doors down in a wheel barrow - I can only assume the chain & locks were giving them trouble. I purchased the unit from the first link as it’s stock and doesn’t look in too bad shape - I’ll hopefully be able to do some sort of refurb with the damaged unit I have right now and keep it as a spare now knowing their scarcity. Thank again! - one step closer to getting her back on the road.

That's right, I forgot about the clutch switch!

@lucasg.03 Take off the stator cover and see if you can see a dribble of goop coming from the seal behind the flywheel (also possibly a good time to get a flywheel puller if you don't already have one, I think Yambits sell one). Once you take off the flywheel and stator you can replace the seal in situ as long as you're careful not to mark the sealing surface of the crankshaft.

Clutch can make noises too, for example if the rubbers between the gear and clutch cage have gone bad. Check the play if you remove the cover.

I can recommend one smelling of strawberries: https://www.ipone.com/en/eshop/product/r2000

If you look at the coolant reservoir at the rear, you will notice that it has a hose going to the frame. I take that to mean that the coolant is routed via the frame tubes. Pipes. There is no hint of an explanation in the workshop manual, though. Perhaps you have a crack in the frame?

I would say so. Is quite similar to the factory headlight, but it gives the modern look I was looking for, with a cleaner and whiter light.

Well sounds like a fantastic purchase. I thought I recall the 3SH models being quite sought after and sounds like a good buy for the money. Sadly Imgur is blocked in the UK so I can't see the images right now, I'll have to have a nosey on a VPN. Yeah, there is an okay aftermarket scene for tuning, anything that'll fit the DTR engine will fit the TDR engine. It's the TZR 125 (2RK???) models that had different engine setups, but the TZR Belgarda shared the same platform as the DTR.

No, the 4DL would have a straight inlet. These don't fit the DTR as thr carb then fouls the shock absorber.

Reposting images as Imgur not longer viable in the UK.
