DT125R FORUM

Hi fellow smokers,

Time to introduce myself, I'm a Dutch motorcycle tourer.
I did various trips on different motorcycles mainly in Europe and Asia.

4 stroke has many advantages for long distance touring, but I just LOVE 2 stroke...
So I decided to follow my heart and not my head on this one...

Since there aren't many 2 strokes being made anymore for long distance touring, I decided to get a DT125.
For this summer I am planning a trip to Morocco to do on that DT.

But...
I have so many questions and challenges yet to overcome.

1. Has anyone had a larger fuel tank made? Or what are my options here?

2. Luggage, I have seen some DT with a rack, but there is nothing available right? Does anyone have experience mounting rackless systems such as the Mosko moto one?

3. Front wheel, how hard is it to fit a 21 inch front wheel in a DTX? Or would it be better to just get a DTR? Or DTRE?

Since the DT's are quire rare in the Netherlands I bought the first one that I could find, a fine looking DTX.
But would a DTR be a lot better?

Below a picture of the bike I got:

@Calum,
The picture in your link is with X caliper and disc, but you cant mount the X disc to a RE hub?
Becuase RE is like 3 x 2 pattern, and the X is just 6 evenly spread. Or are there oversized ones for a RE hub?

It sucks that I can not make anything out of metal myself

Ive also seen your fork conversion, and that looks very interesting!
Becuase just mounting a more modern MX/enduro bikes triple clamp + forks would ofc help wonders with the suspension and also solve the 21" issue.

I found YSS shock that fits the DT model too, so that will be a nice upgrade too. Should work on X too right?

Overall posting here gave me lots of new directions to search for options

Btw has anyone tried mounting a tank from another Yamaha model? Because there are bigger aftermarket tanks for eg a WR250 or YZ125, because they were quite popular.

@Ninja, they don't really have the type I'm looking for.

I found a company in NL that makes custom tank/racks, so I'm going to contact them soon to see what they can do for the DT.
