Yamaha dt125re rebuild
-
Banked holiday over and got the frame paint swingarm and few other little bits done it’s now to start putting back together and find out what needs replacing
-
Right I’m stuck, confused and baffled
I’ve taken the starter motor off with having problems of the annoying clicking noise new battery new relay all wire checked cleaned etc so I know it’s something with the starter
Should I be able to move this cog by hand ?
It doesn’t move at all could this be my problem? -

@calum cheers mate
Right tonight after work I am changing the gear selector seal any tips or step step guide ?
Isit a case of digging the old one out and tapping the new one in ?@bradt Easier to do when there is no gear lever in the way mate.
You will risk damaging the shaft and causing a permanent oil leak.
IIRC, it should not be difficult to remove the gear lever out put.
Whip the clutch cover off and remove it. Then remove the seal, then replace the seal, then replace the lever. IIRC.
Always Originate, Never Pirate!

@Calum so clutch cover off any need to remove the clutch basket or anything else?
Really didn’t wanna tip the engine apart on this build wanted it to be simple and learn as I go but I have learnt it will never be a simple job
@bradt If you damage the shaft, it will always leak oil and you will need a new shaft. It's just hacky to do it in situe, but can be done.
I can't remember how it is on these engines, what is in the way.
But that should be pulled out from the clutch cover side. You don't need to remove it, just pull it clear of the oil seal so you don't damage it.

Id just replace it aswell, its pretty common to do, And I've done so many times on other bikes, both for the gear selector shaft, and the main output shaft.
