I've got a set of wr 200 wheels at home, front ones nice, back not so much but still usable, let me know if you're interested at all cause I'm not going back to nobbys anymore with my DT.

Is the tire on it? -
@Louis-James you tried DTX wheels in your WR? I'm going to run mine this year as-is and rebuild it next winter but would like to sumo it and use as a commuter.
Bike looks great btw!
Carriers are ten a penny in Thailand and South America

I will probably sell both tyres and the front complete wheel

Would you prefer to sell the whole set up? Or do you want the tyre?

Thankswrote on 25 Jan 2019, 23:27 last edited by Glynn123@Louis-James I fit WR 426 forks but made my own custom axle to run the standard DTR/WR200 front hub sizes, the WR200 front disc was the same size as a standard nissin front brake system on a WR 426 so was a better wheel choice than changing calipers to use the smaller DTR wheel and disc combo

wrote on 26 Jan 2019, 01:28 last edited by@Louis-James the axle is larger in the 400/426, the WR 200 wheels I bought use the same size axle as a DT, I actually ran them with the DT spacers on my standard forks for a while. Is this the same with yours?

wrote on 27 Jan 2019, 09:55 last edited by@Glynn123 according to the All Ball's site the 400 front end fits straight onto the 200. Guessing it wasn't as easy as that for the 125?

Sorry - meant to say the 400 front end complete - yokes / forks etc

wrote on 28 Jan 2019, 17:39 last edited by Glynn123@Nottsbiker the yokes use a different bearing type on the top, and bottoms different taper too. Standard DT 125 uses ball bearings on the top compared to tapered rollers, also 400 stem is longer, takes some spacer work and a bearing cup but the swaps doable if you have a lathe.

wrote on 29 Jan 2019, 18:15 last edited by@Louis-James few quick questions if you don't mind;
Front fork guards - assuming you've gone with UFO YZ new old stock?
What size is the bottom bolt on the forks that hold them together? It's massive and I need to buy the correct one
Is the chainguard the same as a 125?
Is the gear lever the same as a 125?
Where did you get your chain slider without taking out a new mortgage?
I've got a factory manual in Japanese but no parts list - do you have one at all you could email across?
Cheers - Ben

Hi Ben,
Yes the fork guards are old stock yz ones around £28
On the forks, are you regarding the one under the bottom of the fork leg?
I used a cheap AliExpress chain guard for the dt125r
The gear lever is the same.
The chain slide I bit the bullet and bought one from Yamaha... £45

Did your fork guards come with the clamp / guide parts? Mine are yellow and broken
The fork bolt is the bottom one as I need to fit some new seals as mine are leaking. They've taken out the pads too ffs!
