Hi everyone. I'm Jaime from Spain and I have a DTX since 2017. I bought her with no license and I started a whole proyect of restauration. The bike came from the coast and it had a bit of rust. It was throw in a garage for a lot of years and it had a generous layer of dust.
With a lot of work, that ugly bike become this.
Thats my story. Hope I learn from y'all, ty. -
@jaimegonzalezlu Hola!
Take some advice for me plan and triple check everything and always right lists! The amount of money I’ve wasted paying extra postage fee’s for a part I badly needed because I forgot to add / didn’t realise I needed it until after
Another bit of advice I can offer you is use as many OEM parts as possible, don’t be put off by the price either! Your bike will thank you in the long run + 75% of the time if you put the part number in to google you’ll find someone selling the part you need second had for the same price as off brand parts.
I managed to pick up 4 OEM oil seals for my USD forks for £30 and a pair of OEM dust seals for £10. Now to put that into perspective the dust seals are £30 on there own if ordered through our main U.K. parts distributorSorry if this is a bit long I know English is your first language but hopefully it helps you!
Wishing you the best and lots of luck rebuilding / restoring your DTX! -
@jaimegonzalezlu lovely. Don't see too many DTXs about these days.
I always wanted a DTX.

@stevie-wonder Hello, good afternoon. I think you have misunderstood me. I bought the bike as it was in the first image and now it is as in the link that I have put below. The bike is already 99% restored (there are always details). I have used almost all OEM because as you have said, cheap is later more expensive, or as they said in UK, u get what u pay for. It is true that there are things from Yamaha OEM that are too expensive for what they are and you have to get them in other ways. I will open a topic about a problem that I have from a non-OEM part that I bought. Thanks you for the warm welcome
