DT125R FORUM

Hello does anybody know the length of the cylinder head studs as away from home and need to order some studs next size up as got a couple of threads stripped so going to get some turned to standard m8 125 pitch for the head nuts but m10 into the cylinder its self so just need the length please of what goes into cylinder and what’s left for the head nuts many thanks

i changed it back last year as it had turned in the holder and fail he did say bring it back when i replace it to set it up but not had time but it due again next month so will find out but the led buld is supose to follow the same beam pattern as normal bulb

i run a led bulb in mine fo over a year seems ok and not had problems with on coming traffic

@NINJA sorry should of read your post before commenting on calums yes thats what ii was looking to do just did not know what rims to look for as did ask a couple of mx shops and they said it cant be done on a dt not very helpfull really

@Calum hi mate what rims am i looking for as spoke with a couple of mx shops and they say there cant be done but im sure i had read on here of people lacing rims to dt hubs or is it better to just get diffrent wheel any help would be greatfull

@Glynn123 said in tubeless rims:

rim bands

i thought the rims were not suitable for tubless because the sides are not deep enough to hold the tubless tyre thought there was a diffrence in rims between the two

well all i can do is try this till i find some rims that will except tubless tyres not having much luck at the moment contacted a couple of shops but they say they dont know of any rims for a dtr so the search continues but thanks for all the information good or bad can only but try till i find a soloution many thanks neil

@finnerz89 yes i did buy some slime yesterday and added to the new tubes and tyres so got finger crossed that it helps out

im riding from thurrock to bishop stalford so it county lanes and towns im running michelin heavy duty innertubes 4mm i think and sirac tyres at about 28psi and had three punchers so far at it now grating on me waiting for the recovery van never had problems before i started doing this journey and they new tyres and tubes as well could just be bad luck put thought tubless tyres have got to be better as could plug them to get me home

hi im looking to change my rims so i can run tubeless tyres as doing 400 miles a week at the moment for work and tonight was the second time i got a puncture and had to be recovered so im thinking if i can run a tubeless rim and tyre i could carry a tyre plug kit even if it just to get me home so am wordering if this can do done and what is needed any help would be greatful neil

welcome aboard

#calum i cant remember what ones you told me to get last time was it the c3 or non c3 when it came to bearings sorry to be a pain lol

cheers mate did think best to go with the athana kits but then thought i would ask peoples thoughts first to be clear

hi im going to be rebuilding a engine and wanted to know whats best for seals as im ordering the bearings from simplybearings i noticed they do oil seals as well or is it just best to go with the athana seal kit for the extra money whats peoples thoughts and experiances

fowlers part number is 93306-30556 and on this page it shows this part number 3rd one down just joined up
http://www.athenaparts.com/eng/products/view/4827/bearing-6305ri-koyo
so might be worth ordering a set to see if they match up but looks promising

looking on the this website http://www.athenaparts.com/eng/models/view/4453-section-25/yamaha-dt-125-r-re-x it looks like they may be the size with out measuring a set of bearings it hard to say but if they are the right ones will save people some money or maybe i will order two and see if they will measure up to the spare engine i have in shed as did not keep the olds
Main Bearing MS250620160YYK Bearing 6305ri - Koyo
