DT125R FORUM

@SpookDog yes the 200wr has an aluminum swingarm but so does my 125r (got a dt200r one) and I bet you are correct that loads of bits are the same.

Oddly though the the 200 is narrower than the 125 with the linkage mount a different distance from the pivot so would not be a direct swap either

@kylescave

Depending on your bike the mixture is anything from 1/4 turn to 1 & 1/2 or more...

Choke no throttle, always...

Jeez, it's possible that the the bolts seized into the aluminium. Dissimilar metals and all that. That said should still be easy to remove the bolts. The aluminium case will expand when heat is applied so should be simple to disassemble.

Yes the pump pulls off the shaft so long as you've disconnected the oil lines and cables etc.

From memory;

DT200R 3ET - front and rear
DT200WR or WR200 - rear only
DT125RE - front and rear

Personally I'd refurb my hubs and have SS spokes laced into alloy rims

@spookdog @Calum Found it!, i found a break in the kill switch wire in the middle of the loom! Not sure how it was broken but it was obviously breaking the circuit. As soon as i sorted that it fired straight up. Many thanks for all the ideas and help. very useful.
