SM wheels on 1994 DT125R

jonne123

Will DT125X SM wheels fit my DT125 R. Of course i need to change brake setup but otherwise? Do you recommend any else SM wheel for my DT125R?

claws

@jonne123 i would say yes with the dtx brackets(?) but im not 100% sure

Calum

Yes you will need the forks and rear brake carrier if memory serves me correctly.

jonne123

Or should i use my enduro wheel hubs and put them to dt125x rims?

Calum

@jonne123 No? The rear carrier might be fine. I am sure someone with a more helpful answer will be along. But you want the front forks or an adaptor plate for the brake.

jonne123

But if i use stock front disc and caliper from dt125r?

declan

@jonne123 lacing your enduro hubs will work just fine costly though

jonne123

But what is the cheapest way?

declan

@jonne123 going to a scrapyard and picking the wheels and front forks off a dtx will probably be cheapest

Calum

Yeah not convinced about cheapest anything when it comes to my life in the hands of a motorbike lol.

Just save up and do it properly would be my advice.

Since the brakes on the DTR are pathetic, I'd recommend getting the full setup.

declan

@Calum mine are great front will lock up if not careful the braided line makes a huge difference

jonne123

So if i buy front fork and wheels they should fit?

declan

@jonne123 yeah wr 125x forks fit

jonne123

If i make adaptor plate for dt125x brake caliper will the wheels fit in my dtr forks?

Darty

@jonne123 Yes. My current setup exactly.

jonne123

So i buy DTX rims, front brake caliper and its adapter. Then its ready to go and does the DTX rims have different speedometer drive so my speedo isnt messed up?

Darty

@jonne123 I believe they are different part numbers yes for the speedo drive, I use a DTX Speedo drive with mine.

But, beware DTX are waaay better forks, stiffer with less travel in them, they are also shorter than DTR forks which really helps the front end geometry for a Motard setup,

I have to run 30mm solid bushes in the DTR forks to take out the fork travel and make it somewhat reasonable to ride, otherwise I think it's pretty bad.

I know WR125R forks are better sprung out the box, and that is a straight swap, you can just run the non mechanical drive WR125R Speedo sensor to the OEM Digital clock, pretty smart setup

jonne123

@Darty So you recommend DTX front fork and DTX wheels. And what else Yamaha parts fit dtr like forks or rims?

Darty

@jonne123 Just get an entire DTX front end bud,

As @Darty said, get the complete set-up for less hassle.
