@Lorant2 BR8EG and B9es is not the correct spark plug. You should use BR8ES or BR9ES. Could be your issue.

@declan yeah, it's smoking blue and smells like a two stroke so i guess it's okay

These guys are crazy :face_with_tears_of_joy:

@mhbikesnbits Looks interesting!

Sweet and clean looking bike . What pipe is on it an fmf of some sort?

This is a giannelli front pipe right? How could he have made it so shiny?. It's like the shinyness from DEP combined with the shape from giannelli :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes:

@calum I'm not fan of 4-strokes either, i love the crisp sound of a 2-stroke motorcross over anything, the pipes looks 10 times better than the 4strokers aswell. 450's are sick tho, and in fact for mx the 4-strokes have a benefit because of the powerband being so consistent in a way.

My friend put a leovince exhaust on his mt125, it looked a lot slimmer and sounded better than the stock one. Sounds nice in the beginning but after listening to it for a while it turns into being annoying :P.

Ordered the dust boots now, any suggestions of good brake pads? @Calum @Jens-Eskildsen @oldman @NINJA @declan

@Bluestoesonnose defo yamaha or athena, would not buy anything else as i have had a lot of issues with cheap gaskets

@Calum Do you know if a TZR stator would fit, isn't it exactly the same engine as the DTRE? They are a lot more common to find on ebay.

@declan Looks like it only fits the old DTR

@declan said in DT125R stator on DT125RE:

@Bananper yeah they don’t fit been there done that China does a good looking system for cheap I was going to get one

Could you link it to me?

So my dt stopped sparking, and after a lot of fiddling around i found the source coil to be weak, so i bought another pre owned stator and put it on the bike, fired right up and i drove it around and suddenly the bike died. I measured the ohms on the source coil it was 88 ohm, should be 192-288.

So my question is, is there anything on these bike that could kill the stators like this, or am i having bad luck with the pre owned one i just bought.

Any suggestions or opinions is greatly appreciated!

@Calum I got a friend of mine to take of his left side cover with the coils in and everything, put it on mine and it sparked!
So i'm looking at what options i got when it comes to getting a new one, as paying 100£+ for one on ebay is too much in my opinion. Any suggestions, are there any aftermarket stators?

@Calum do you think that the source coil could be my issue?

@Calum well my bike has a no spark issue and as i said in my other post, the source coil showed a lower reading than the specifications in the haynes manual. 125 ohms, should have been 192-288. I already replaved my rectifier.

I am suspecting my stator to be faulty, and a friend of mine has a stator for DT125R available, so i was wondering if it would fit on my DT125RE, or if it could be made fit.

Thanks!

@Bananper also i changed the regulator aswell

So a few months back i was going for a ride on my dt, i started up my bike, and it ran on idle. Suddenly the bike just stopped, i picked it apart and i found no spark. I tried changing the sparkplug, the HT wire, and coil with brand new replacements. I measured resistance on the pickup coil (which was in spec) and the source coil which were lower than spec (125 ohms and it should be 192 at lowest). I checked the fuses which were fine but replaced them anyway. checked that neutral switch, clutch switch. And when i got to the sidestand switch i found that the wires was joined together to bypass the switch, and that they were no longer connected, so i soldered them together and suddenly it sparked. So i put the bike back together and was ready to start, and the same thing happened, no spark.

So i checked all connections under the fuel tank once more, found nothing wrong with the wires going to the cdi.

So this makes me wonder, could it be the source coil that has gone bad since it outputs a lower resistance than it should? As i thought it’s job was to charge the battery and not make spark.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
