@mhbikesnbits Is it not a tapered thread on those? So it's self sealing.
I can't remember but I thought the thread on those are tapered.

@mhbikesnbits yes as Calum said they are tapered to ensure a tight fit. I always use PTFE tape as well. I also know that the sensor was updated a few times over the run of the dt125r so make sure you have the correct model year. My bike is 1999 but my sensor is only for 1998-2002. They are different.

@Calum thanks for this I was looking at thinking it was my eyes that the threads changed lol but swore it was all the way in before lol
