DT125R FORUM

Also fitted this

Just fitted the same as Darty, looks loads better! Definitely need a matching brake one now though

Had the bike in bits for the late few days, forks have been stripped, bottoms powder coated and rebuilt with new seals etc and heavier oil.

Fitted kickstart conversion as well while I was at it.
That works a treat, had to strip the clutch again though as I made a slight error when rebuilding it, all good now though.

Also removed the chain, cleaned and re-waxed it, new spring clip for that too.

Next job is to make a new chain guard!

Oh yeah fitted a new front fender too with graphics.

So as the weather's been nice and all the fair weather riders were out i went for a little blast after work. Took possibly the longest route possible without going in the opposite direction to Matlock bath for a brew and fish and chips. Quite a few nice bikes about, a nice RD125LC pulled up as I was leaving.
Anyway here's my bike when I got back!

Tweaked the idle speed when i got back and adjusted the chain, happy days!

Here it is the day after the rebuild at Squires:

Most 4 stroke bikes use the same oil for engine and gearbox, so any bike oil will be fine.

But car oil is a no no as it has additives in that will make the clutch slip.

i got my trailtech vapour from http://www.trailtechproducts.co.uk/

If you tell him what bike you have he'll sort you a kit even if its not listed. I went and collected mine in person and got it VAT free

@calum I was assuming he'd figured out the screw thread part already lol

I doubt it will make any difference. There's a few slight differences between models but the main reason the pipes are different is the later bikes have a different tank and air scoops that foul the earlier exhausts.

I think that should go on one of the regulator mounting bolts. Under the RH side scoop

Another vote for the vapour Speedo from me

Yeah you need a new relay.
R6 relays are plug and play and cover higher wattage lamps

@nottsbiker I thought regulator mount, looks like the one on my DTX. Either way anywhere on the frame should do

What he said^

I've got a full dep system on my bike, standard jets and close to manual screw settings. And it runs fine - I thrash it everywhere!

I even did a 20mile run at 70 on the M1 following someone on an FZ1, I was really paranoid all the way down so I pulled the plug and it was spot on colour wise.

No difference in peak power, but using the servo you'll get a broader range, so you'll have better low and mid range. Obviously it depends on exactly where you've pinned your power valve

Engines love cold air, just wait until you're riding on a nice crisp, foggy morning then it'll really sing!

Scratches on the outside shouldn't be an issue. However the notches on the inside of the fingers will cause a notchy clutch action and potentially drag.

You could sand them back smooth and see what happens, I did it recently on one of my other bikes and it's made the clutch buttery smooth

Snowflake alert

All I've done to my 'X' is earth the wire and a full DEP exhaust. -1 tooth on the front sprocket as well. Went to a 2 stroke rally at the weekend, everyone kept asking me what I'd done to it, expecting big bore kits etc

I use Silkolene Comp 2 Plus
