DT125R FORUM

Hi there I recently bought a 2005 DT as a project and will no doubt be needing the wealth of knowledge here to help me along as I get to tricky bits I cant fix

Forgot to mention I paid 1500 and it owes me another 100 in fuel and parts so that what I am looking for


Thanks for that Hotshot, haven't had chance to act on any of it today - hopefully will get chance over the weekend

I decided to concentrate on my other project today, feeling a bit fed up with the water cooled ungrateful Yamaha

Good spot, thats exactly what the donor chassis was.


By jingo I think I have got it!!

I bought an NSR 125 a few years ago sight unseen from evilbay, jesus what a mess when I collected it obvious 17 yr old negligence - every consumable on the bike was worn to a depressing degree tyres, brakes, chain, sprockets, air filter, piston, rings, battery,small end bearing, fork seals. along with needing a repaint and decals I bought it for something to tinker with over winter and also for the satisfaction of saving a smoker from the scrap heap (where it certainly was heading if I hadn't stepped in) so when it was Mot tested and finished I stuck it back on e bay and I think I ended up 80 quid in front on the deal. The deet is a similar project I dont really want a DT 125 as a serious bike but it is certainly worth saving just its a complete bugger and resisting my helping it

Yes I tested the motor on my sons deet and it cycles when the ignition is turned on
