Take off oilpump/autolube
-
Hi, I recently purchased a dt125re 2006 and i'm looking to take off the oilpump and run premix instead. I'm having troubles with finding out how to properly take it off so I was hoping someone here could give me some knowledge?
Thanks in advance

It merely unbolts from the clutch cover. Then just remove the oil tank and oil lines. Remove the secondary throttle cable from the junction box.
I would remove the cog from the underside of the clutch cover to minimise unnecessary drag on the engine.
That being said...I'd leave the oil pump on.

+1 for the oil pump
-
@Calum yeah you need to get a cover plate if you remove the oil pump so its easy to just leave the pump in its place
-
Thanks for your replies.
How i’m understanding it is it’s easier to leave the pump on and use it rather than to bother taking it off? -
@HassePallisgaard Why do you want to take it off?
-
@HassePallisgaard As the saying goes - If it ain't broke then why try to fix it???
-
@HassePallisgaard the autolube is really good unless you have good reason don’t mess with it
-
I’m just really paranoid about it failing but it might not be worth the hassle removing it. I’ve just been used to mixing on mx bikes.
-
@HassePallisgaard Run a clear line from the pump to the engine. Then if the pump fails you will notice the air in the line

just thought i would have my input
Iv removed my oil pump and made a blanking plate because it makes throttle cables easier to replace as its just one straight forward line not 1 into 2 business, which for me is best because i can carry a spare with me then, also its not to hard to mix, i guess i like doing things the old fasion way, Call me stupid but thats they way i like it haha

@HassePallisgaard well you can remove everything else but you should leave the pump in its place since it can act as the cover plate. i think that removing it doesnt make a difference but you do you
