DTR Rear Brake Caliper
-
Hey everyone, first post to the forum!
I am currently rebuilding my '89 DT125R, she was my daily but now been stripped down and sat in boxes for a couple of years.
Most of the bits are there but cannot for the life of me find the rear brake caliper. I don't want to have to spend £300+ on a full new assembly so i am looking for suggestions on either which other caliper will fit the bracket instead or where I can possibly get hold of a decent second hand original?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

@NosmokeNopoke Welcome aboard, see here for suppliers and some FB groups & dudes who break DT's;

@Calum said in DTR Rear Brake Caliper:
I would have thought these would be readily available on ebay!
So did I! Unfortunately not anymore!

@NINJA hi again ninja sorry to bother but I've managed to find a guy whos got a dt200 3et model full working back brake and spacer/bracket which I also need, would these fit my 89 dt125r?
-
@NosmokeNopoke Yes it will fit, the 3ET1 was an '88 model but no biggy. Yamaha had a massive parts bin back_in_the_day and used several parts for many bikes.
:winking_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :winking_face:Here's a Pro tip use Fowlers website and click on the individual part you require and it will tell you which other bikes use that same part:

Obviously in future start with the DT125R and select your year/model etc.

Hi ninja hope uour okay!
That is a top tip that nice one!!
very handy!
Okay so even though it says the 88 dt125r uses the same as the 200 it will still fit my 89 125?Just to be sure before I buy, heres the pics hes sent me.
Thanks again! -
@NosmokeNopoke It looks about right, just compare it to your original caliper. If the part numbers match like Fowlers webby states then your good_to_go!!!

@NINJA unfortunately I havent got the orignal to look at and compare
but after looking on an 89 dtr rebuild thread here it looks like almost identical just that the bolts look the other way around.
What do you reckon? First two images are same as before second image is a screenshot of the thread i was reading on here.
Thanks again! -

@NosmokeNopoke Dude these are old bikes now and parts are getting less and less these days. Like I said Fowlers say there a match, so you've either gotta bite the bullet and order it or keep searching for another one - your call bro.
