    So there should be no problem changing that if we find a fitting part 😕

    I found the sizes of the outer bushings for the wr125x: OD 45.00mm x ID 41.10mm x W 11.80mm x T 1.95mm
    At worst, I will take the forks apart and replace only this if it matches even if there are no inner bushings available.

    Also there is a hungarian website called oem-parts, on that site I can see the DTX outer/top bushing the same as the WR125X, 1-000-169-691

    The inner/bottom bushes are 1-000-188-384 and it is DTX exclusive so I'm pretty shot at this point 😄

    Also you can't order any of them, they are unavailable.

    For the DTRE, they are 1-000-165-981 and 1-000-137-166 respectively and they match with all the DTR's from the 90's. And they are available for order, lol, here you are:

    https://oem-parts.hu/hu/parts/yamaha/motor/2005/dt125re-dt-125-1d03/front-fork

    And I'm guessing that the DTRE and DTX forks are same if the DTRE is paioli too. The differences might be in spring, oil quantity, maybe the inner piston hole specifics and the lower fork legs because of the smaller brake disc/wheel shaft size. So the DTR/DTRE/DTX bottom bushing might be the same as well?

      I'd guess that the RE uses the same forks as the R but might be totally wrong

      My TDR forks are also Paoli (sp?) and a total pain to get anything for other than seals which are still available from pattern suppliers

      If you can get one out complete you could always have an engineer make some for you from scratch.

      Dont forget that 230 Lanza forks would be a good swap into a 125 if in trail mode 😉

        Have found a supplier and ordered pattern bushes. They are due tomorrow so will compare and share if they are good. Still no word from Yamaha though.

          Bushes arrived, perfect fit and no vertical movement on stanchion (the old ones had a little play/worn) . Ordered from Brooks Suspension, 41.7 x 20 x 1mm, part code SBS-009.
          Assembling forks this evening at last.
          Will post update when tested.20200703_112805_copy_576x1024.jpg

                  Nice findings!

                  Could you also measure the other bushing for me? Just in case 🙂

                    The other bushes are readily available via eBay, Fowler's, csmnl, etc

                      Sounds reasonable - bet I wont find any for the tdr that easily if I need them!

                        If you can get them out and measure them give brooks suspension a call or check their website, list range of bushes by size. I called them and they were very helpful

                          Finally took out the bike with the new bushes fitted, all good now, no knocking on compression stroke, well worth doing even if it was a faff getting the bushes. Still no reply from Yamaha though.

                              Do I chase them though, would like info re key for dtmx helmet lock. Sold the dt250mx last week and have another bike up for sale, looking at buying 250 4t dual sport, was thinking of klx250 maybe? No longer sold here but was even thinking of buying new! Here's a pic of the Meon Valley last night, followed an e type Jag down the A272 from Petersfield to Loomies, smoked as much as my bike!![0_1594661545514_IMG_20200712_201726407_HDR_copy_1024x768.jpg](Uploading 100%)

                                  @oldman KLX meant to be quite flat power wise if thats an issue

                                  Personally I'd get a KDX200 if it had to be Kawasaki

                                    @oldman Yeah sorry, I had to disable photo uploads. I didn't realise the limit for uploads was up to 20MB.

                                    I CANNOT HOST THAT. I don't have a business line and it would utterly murder my internet connection.

                                    Just upload to imgur and copy the links across.

                                    It's very simple, just get Imgur on your mobile, upload to that using your mobile, then once that's done, you click on the image you're intereted in, and click on share. It will produce a URL that you link in here.

                                        Shame about 250mx, wouldn’t mind one of those in the future. Saw one for the first time literally outside my house not to long whilst I was rebuilding my RM80, guy said he collected Yamahas and was visiting his family. Beautiful bikes, nicely sized and proper retro vibes

                                          Yes thats why I bought my DT200WR 😉

                                          Had one years ago regretted selling it ever since so had to get another one.
