DT125R FORUM

@declan worth a try With the ybr sprocket hopefully works for you buddy

@spookdog yes metal type it seems fine with the rubber gasket but if I can't sort the squishing issue then I'll just go back to paper gaskets

@calum lol funny you say that when I turned the bike off I could hear the battery acid boiling, weird thing was the battery was cold to the touch all around,it's definitely something to watch out for no warning signs until it's too late luckily I had the multimeter hooked up the whole time so I knew it was over charging

@calum yeah I do mean new new just figured I'd try a used one first

The piston works it was a piston for pre 89 dt125rs from yam bits, the bike has a lot of felt compression now seems way more than it had when it originally had a rebore and piston making me wonder if the rings were defective from new on the original piston, i did tighten the squish up just a tad with a slightly thinner gasket but I highly doubt that's the reason for the increase in compression before the kickstarter had litteraly no fight back on your foot or hand and it was like that the whole time I rode it.

@madgyver said in Carb warming hose delete: @declan I have done exactly what you say.No problem so far in the summer,for the winter probably will be the same status. Blanked off this in every two stroke Yamaha I've ever owned and never had any problems, but have had a BWS carb ice and that made for an interesting ride

Agreed! Shame because we are all desperate for bits now

@declan I know, but the sight glass is problematic. I’ve seen posts where people thought the oil had disappeared but really had gone above the glass If my gear change feels smooth, I’ve got oil

Just gotta keep searching ebay bud

@SpookDog I have a bike I'm building with an 05 dtx engine I'm trying to do a crossover of parts the bike has spark with it's cdi but won't fire so I would like to try my dtr cdi on it last time I did so I couldn't get a spark since my dtr needs to be stripped down I figure nows a good time to try again

@Calum okay thanks bud

@Darty thanks

@Challenger yeah I really wanted it to either be the graphite colour or just the standard silver but it’s all the paint I had or could get during lockdown so is what it is

@Nottsbiker yeah that pictures crap I’ll try get one ASAP thanks

@Calum the problem seems to be with the plastic cogs in the housing I would say that one is skipping it’s just weird that it’s only doing it now it’s been apart

Thanks to @oldman i now have spark my flywheel did come loose and shear off my woodruff key so I have one on order I’ll check you back in a few days lol

@declan Nice one. :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone: :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone: :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

@Nottsbiker £40 is an absolute bargain, I paid £120 for mine!!!

@declan It would save you a lot of trouble in the long run and be a wise investment in your bike for-sure!!! :winking_face: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :winking_face: :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

@calum I've ordered a crank now I'll see what I end up with
