DT125R FORUM

Hi guys, i have acquired another dt, a 92 model with some mot left, i want to take my cbt in next week or so and get some riding in before its stripped down when mot runs out, i have had a cbt 20 years ago and just getting back into bikes, finally, i am 36 now and still have my old acu gold stickered lazer mx helmet that i bought new 20 years ago too, im wondering is this legal to use on the road with my DT and more so, can i use it on my cbt test instead of renting a helmet? I will obviously buy a better helmet in the near future but bit strapped for cash at moment and want to save where i can. Many thanks.

Thats brilliant just what i was looking for . Mine is a 92 but god knows whats happened to it in the past. Thankyou. Regards. Nick.

Hiya, thanks for that, i did message him but theres bits missing from it it seems. Thanks for the heads up on the group, totally forgot about Fb group for parts.

@markus-w Hi markus, thats very kind of you, i have found a screengrab of the wiring online, i have also managed to get a spark from the loom (whats left of it) unfortunately, the whole ignition has been bypassed so it will run without any keys, but at least i have a spark! Also thanks to callum for fixing my links.

hi guys, i will replace it then as i didnt realise the coolant went in and back out of it, i thought it was just there to catch expelled fluid, so there is the one main line into the bottom of the expansion tank and what seems to be a thin overflow at the top, there is no lid on my expansion tank, am i right in thinking this tank is not pressurised and i can just make a cap for it? many thanks.

@SpookDog Hi spookdog, thanks for the help, I have just put long blue wire to neutral switch and removed side stand wire from earth, still sparking only with the killswitch in off position. The flywheel is not part of the cover and i also do not have the correct puller to remove it. I did many years ago, but not anymore! In all honesty it doesnt matter if it runs or not now, as i have come to the conclusion there are too many parts missing, from sections of wiring, to the parts that regulate current for the lights and clocks, there are also parts missing from inside the casing,ie' speedo drive gear, i think it needs too much, i am not prepared to source all those bits and spend the time nor money doing so. so i am going to sell it as it is, and purchase one in better condition. I have tried everything i am capable of to get it running and have gotten somewhere at least which is a far cry from the state i got it in. Its all assembled now waiting for the next poor soul to come along and try their luck. I dont think the previous owner got it going either and he had it 2 years.
