    Hi lads

    I need to replace my headstock bearings on my dt125r but feel like the yokes might be from a newer model as there a mistmatch of parts on this bike. Does the DTR and RE/X use the same parts for headstock bearings or are they different?

    I’ve checked online and the main bearing is the same however different parts are shown between the newer and older and two bearings on the RE/X shown so worried might not fit right if I just order dt125r headstock parts?

    Cheers

      I really wouldn't have thought so.

      The bottom bearing is a taper roller bearing.

      The top bearing is just a push bike bearing. I would have thought they'd be the same.

      If it were me, I'd just measure them, and go to SimplyBearings and just order some KOYOs off there and get them for like £5. I get all my bearings from there, probably exactly the same as genuine ones. KOYO at least or SKF or FAG are all quality bearings.

                      Tomahawk was more manuevrable...

                      Anyone know the sizes for taper bearings top and bottom? It would be a massive help for anyone changing bearings...

                      Don’t trust eBay for cheap sets, there are lies in the small print claiming that Dtr model listing is for ‘guidance only’ They take no responsibility for ‘non fitment’...
