DT125R FORUM

Just push the piston back into the caliper. Make sure you undo the reservoir first however.

I don't think there is anything special about the way the front brake pads go in though. It's been 10+ years since I've remotely looked at a DTR caliper but most calipers are fairly self explanatory.

Thanks so much, I managed to figure it out but Now I'm dealing with my own front brake problems haha

@mbmO8 This explains the YEIS box between the carb and reed valve better than I can:

When working around that area it's not that difficult to remove as long as you have a decent pair of pliers to squeeze the clip on top of the reed block, just stuff a rag in the hole until you refit it. The one behind the carb on later bikes, I've never owned a DTR with one of these fitted so maybe someone else can help out explaining this? I see a lot of people blank these off with the lid off a Coke bottle.

If the cabling is not messed up the main light runs directly from the stator, doesn't load the battery.

I am led to believe that the WR125X wheels are Saxxes wheels, not Excel like they were on the DTX.

That said, I thought they do fit, but you need the DTX setup etc, so the front brake, forks and spacers.

It's not a direct swap for the DTR setup, but it is a very simple swap.

if you buy a tail tidy online and fit it it will probably look good and work well but equally it can be very rewarding to sit down and design/make something that improves your bike and is unique.

@HOTSHOT-III That's where I spend most of my time these days. I can't remember the last time I rode my Yamaha, but I'm working on it most weekend 😛

@mbmO8 Nice to hear bud, enjoy 👍
