DT125R FORUM

@irongamer727
Make sure to have your bike covered for the paint not to corrode if youre planning to park it outside for a couple of weeks. and i would also recommend buying BlueFire Motorcycle Security Kit Alarm System on amazon. its easy to install and i am telling you, its really loud. it also have a great bump sensitivity. hope this helps mate!

@Steady-Eddy Eddy! Great to hear from you 😃 There was a forum outage a wee while ago. Down but never out.

Sorry to hear about the ball joint, these things happen. But a fresh new one should see you for a while.

Sad about the DT, but there is plenty life in you yet, you could always get another one. Perhaps a doer uper to give some joy back into the world.

That sucks about the marshaling, everything happens for a reason though.

How's the new home? Happy with it. Was it difficult to downsize?

Wishing you all the best

Calum

@Irongamer727 Sounds a bit RUFF RUFF to me!!! 😉 :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes: :face_with_stuck-out_tongue: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

how do you use both you push the switch for main beam

i would put a multimeter on the wires sounds like its not getting enough power if its dull

@Glynn123 I do really like the water cooled engine for looks it’s one of those timeless designs imo

Alot of enduros are registered under power from factory, they can be riden on A2 however if police decide to Dyno you it can cause issues. My mates Beta 300rr came brand new registered at something like 11kw, and I have seen alot of the KTMs are the same. Some insurers ask for proof of restrictions with a2 bikes, most don't. It's on you wether you want to risk it or not, however the likelyhood, atleast in the UK, of being convicted seems fairly slim, I know alot of people riding 600s, KTM 690 unrestricted etc on A2 with no issues, but in the event of a crash you may not be paid out, but the same goes for not declaring modifications. Insurance nowerdays is a nightmare, it's up to you how you want to go about it all.

@Irongamer727 I rode a hornet 600 and it's pretty hard stock.

@Minia I've seen it before somewhere but can't remember what the slogan was? Something to do with bikes probably on FB, but it appears to be a popular meme that been copied many times, thanks for the info. :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

486ml + or - 2.5ml so just under 1/2 a litre of oil.

@NINJA no idea. It's from 2000 (The bike)

@2stroketerry Yeah that's more like it!

@Irongamer727 Strip it all down, give it all a damn good clean and de-rust, then re-install it ensuring a good grounding occurs. Once installed apply a blob of Vaseline to the ground points to prevent further rusting - works a treat and lasts a long time too!!! 😉

Would not hurt to put fresh oil in and seals, make sure you clean all the gunk out of the fork legs, progressive fork springs would be significant improvement. If you are using new springs would keep same oil weight to start off, otherwise could be over the top. Ask spring suppliers for reccomended weight come to that

Went to a place where they teach welding and stuff today. A guy there made a pretty good job.
Not knowing exactly what material it was combined with a dirty oily piece and I'm definitely happy.

I'll trim down the piece a sticking up on the first image.

Correct me if I'm wrong, does the starter wheel(the wheel that's connected to the flywheel) spin with the engine? Or does it only move when the starter is turned over?

In that case, the tolerances shouldn't matter as much.

@Irongamer727 Oil pump is driven directly off the crankshaft. So as long as the oil pump is up to the job.

Sorry, didn't see your reply, my bad! Can't comment on using until repair, personally would wait, can chain failure catastrophic.

@darty not really within my budget.
Getting a non runner as a project could be some fun though. And then run it until it blows

Never really looked into it to be fair.

The load on the gudgeon and small end probably is not that great when compared with the crank pin.

I'd ensure you use the small end for that gudgeon. And never reuse gudgeon's and small ends, for their cost they are jut easy to renew.
