DTDR Build

[notgotaclue]

hello yam all the way lol
son has a yamaha dt 125x 2007
standard why change swing arm and front shocks
how much do they change things for riding and handling

[Calum]

@notgotaclue It's going to depend on how hard you ride the bike.

For normal riding, it makes a noticeable difference, the biggest difference is just braking.

I found for every day use, my stock DTRE was fine.

Since You said he already has a supermoto, it probably won't make too much difference under normal riding.

@calum oh yes , after Im changed the brake lines for hel braided lines, the standard forks always compressed like crazy ,not cool in the situation when you need stop quickly and whole weight moving over front wheel.

[Calum]

@zrako You just compensate.

[finnerz89]

@zrako heavier fork oil has improved mine no end

@notgotaclue to be honest mate I wanted to reduce the bikes weight (and the wr200 swinger just looks mean lol!!
I also found the DTR forks to be like Pogo sticks under the force of sharp breaking.

@tdrgreg2 How do the MX 125 USD's, compare lengthwise to the stock forks? Ie. Does the front sit at about the same height as standard??

[Yamboy46]

@cyber-ninja they around 1to2 inches longer mate,but soon level out with a 17" rim up front

@tdrgreg2 Do you have the dimensions for the spacer? I just got a whole MX125 front end for £100 shipped! Also, can i fit a knobbly tyre on the front as i dont fancy a supermoto setup?

[vtrn_raptor]

You'd need aprilia rx 125 forks for a nobly set up as the brake is positioned higher for the bigger disk on the sm wheel

[ricky0115]

@vtrn_raptor sorry, why would a tyre make any difference to the braking system? I don't have much understanding of bikes lol

[vtrn_raptor]

Basically the supermoto wheels have bigger disks so need the brake position in a Different place to the off-road wheels

[vtrn_raptor]

I stand corrected theirs a bracket on the mx calliper so with the rx bracket would fit fine

[ricky0115]

@vtrn_raptor oh I get you now, thanks man

[Yamboy46]

I will try find my design and measurements my friend and send it over to you, however I can't promise anything because I have just moved house so it's a job of finding it at the moment . bare with me please

[Yamboy46]
