Appreciate the response I've only chose the dt125r as silly as it sounds I almost lost my life in a crash on 1at the age of 17 came close to amputation to my right leg just below the knee i also shattered my shoulder socket broke collar bone and a internal bleed, I had always planned to do a nut and bolt rebuild on 1 after that but not found the time til now altho whilst looking I found they were all going up in price and to be fair even a bad 1 was around the £1000 mark so I spent the extra on what I consider a half decent 1 I plan to use when the summer comes as little as we may get and then strip it to rebuild through the winter, I had no plans to mod it at this point however on riding it you can feel how restricted it really is but that really is where the interest of the dt125r comes into it. Off road I ride a 06 crf450 that I've converted to run a 2001 cr500 engine I built the bike from scratch last year so basically from 1 extreme to the next and 2 totally different bikes

My dt125r/wr200 project
Frame been acid dipped to kill any rust and then acid etc primed -
Finally got round to fitting the fmf
Forget the dep the fmf has given me more bottom end and mid range without effecting the top end feels slightly heavier than the dep but I don't think this pipe will rust out like the dep -

RE: Debating breaking my dt/wr200
7 bloods clots below the knee and far too many idiots on the road for my liking, don't think there is much to finish it, paint the tank as I've have it blasted due to 1 small ding in it and change some light connectors

Debating breaking my dt/wr200
Hello lads lost interest altogether and thinking it must be worth more in bits, it's running a wr200 3xp engine with a ported and modified squash band done by mick Abbey tuning a full fmf exhaust for the wr200 direct bolt up, has wr200 upside down forks along with the wr200 front brake setup it also has the wr200 alloy rear swingarm with adjustable damper

@declan said in Anyone mounted fmf on Dtx?:
Wr200fmf is a direct bolt up all I did was mount it on the rear on the grab handle rather that the original exhaust mount

RE: My dt125r/wr200 project
It's alive I decided to run it on the 3xp loom and cdi unit so after changing a couple of connectors for both the front and rear lights I have a full set of working electrics again, still can decide what colour to paint the engine cases do I go silver to match the alloy rear arm and usd forks or do I go for the darker grey what are people's thoughts
