      Hey Guys, just wanted to say Hello to erveryone. I bought my DT125R 4BL in 2011 and rode it actively till 2014. There after I registered it with 17kW but it was basically just standing around the last years. As all DT's it has a lot of history. I do not want to sell it so I decided it needs a complete renovation. Finally due to the Virus I have time to do it. A few pics from 2012 (after a fresh paintjob):

      and with the new headlight

      The renovation will include a powdercoating for the frame and swing arm + a fresh paint job (doesn't look that good anymore after some crashes) and a lot of maintenance.

      Currently I am struggling to open up the speedo. Anyone an idea how I remove the reset pin to clean it from the inside?

      Btw I am here because the German Version dt125.de was shut apparently. Quite sad, there were a lot of good tutorials and nice builds in it. Looking forward to my experience in this community 🙂

        Yeah that looks lovely.

        The clocks are not serviceable I'm afraid.

        But China have started reproducing them so you can get brand new units. Chap on here is using one of the reproduction ones!

          @chiller1000 if you can see in this picture the reset knob is screwed in with a left handed thread so if you turn it clockwise is it should come off but it won't be easy as it is glued with what I believe is a little bit of threadlock or similar. Just be careful not to break the knob. IMG_20200409_131632.jpg

                  @NINJA very convenient, thanks. Will go for it in the long run, when the airline industry is working again.
