Replacing the stock rear shock with a cr 85 reiger one.Hello.
I wanted to ask if i can replace the stock shock with a reiger or rager rear cr 85 shock. The dimentions are close (height 400mm) but i am worried that it will be too weak. Can i switch it or should i get a bigger one?
Il post a pic in the comments

Dtr 125 1997 Rebuild/Restoration@SpookDog uncle said that he think its adjustable at the bottom. Actually its the screw to let oil out.

Dtr 125 1997 Rebuild/Restoration@SpookDog i just got new front fork from my uncle. He had a yamaha dt 125 back in the day, but i dont know witch year. il send a pic of them soon. The fork has adjustability settings on top and also bottom. They need a oil change but should be good for replacement front forks.

Dtr 125 1997 Rebuild/Restoration@HOTSHOT-III Thank you lad. I saw a video on yt about the tz style plastic but the link didnt work and google gave me nothing. Also i ride it as a hobby and mostly smaller tracks bc the bike struggles on bigger tracks, i live in Estonia. And about the suspention i was thinking on the rear shock you gave, but the front. I was thinking on putting heavier oil like w20 and spacers on the springs. As i said my budget isnt that big and most of it is going in to the restoration so i am going to be left with probably 300 to 200 euro for straight upgrades and new parts. I am gonna respond to this in more detail after Christmas. Right now im typing this on my phone and im a bit of a hurry with the Holliday activities.

Dtr 125 1997 Rebuild/RestorationI forgot to add that I use this motorcycle as a daily driver and as a dirt bike on the track. Its really good on the track but my suspension is too soft and I cant jump with it.

You told me to cut the wires and keep them apart lad. That didn't work, what i did was i cut the wires and connect them at the right time to somehow bypass the restriction. -
Dtr 125 1997 Rebuild/RestorationHello.
I am gonna restore/rebuild my dtr 125 1997 and i made this thread to post what I'm doing and to ask for advice.
My plan of action is to:
- Take everything apart
- Remove rust and paint it with new colors.
- Restore the plastics.
- Fix my extremely soft suspension.
- Fix/look over all the wiring
- New parts
I was thinking on painting the frame with the metallic Subaru blue, does anyone know if it will look nice? Also I'm gonna paint over the plastics and try to put a Honda crf 250 2017 rear plastic tip on it, I don't like like the original rear plastic i think it looks like a egg. If anyone knows if there is a yz like rear plastic that fits without modification please tell me.
I'm gonna start the restoration some days after Christmas and then I'm gonna start posting pictures. Any advice or stuff to look out for before the build is greatly appreciated. Also my budget isn't huge so i cant spend a lot on new parts or stuff like that. The main thing i want to do is give it a new look and make it look like a roadworthy motorcycle, right now it looks like a barn find that was kept somewhat nicely. Excuse my english its my 3rd language. -
Derestrict yamaha dt 125 r 1997@SpookDog I GOT IT! I derestricted it. It took me a long time and a lot of anger but i DID IT! I did it by cutting the reed switch wires and putting the reed switch in its place with exposed open wires. Then i turned the bike on and kickstarted it, after that i revved till it hit the rev limiter and connected the wires till the rev limiter passed 6.5K without staying stuck and taped up the wires so they don't touch (Not the wires that are on the reed switch. The ones that come to it) and put them away. now the bike accelerates beyond 80km/h 50mp/h.

Derestrict yamaha dt 125 r 1997@Mr-Shadi i searched for wiring diagrams and i found one very pixelated one that showed the reed switch and its just 2 wires that go in to the cdi with nothing in between and there were 18 wires.
-
Derestrict yamaha dt 125 r 1997@markus-w it has a restricted cdi but its weird that if i move the reed switch at all it dosent rev over 6k. and i was thinking if i cut the wires and leave the reed switch in its place without the wires, maybe it will work.
-
Derestrict yamaha dt 125 r 1997@SpookDog sorry for not being active i had stuff to do. yeah its a 4bl not a dl, if u google 4bl this bike will come up and its exactly my bike and the reed switch i already drew it was green/red and a blue one

Derestrict yamaha dt 125 r 1997@Mr-Shadi in one of the manuals there is this
-
Derestrict yamaha dt 125 r 1997@SpookDog that would be the thing if there was a good electrical scheme of my 4bl 1997 bike
-
Derestrict yamaha dt 125 r 1997@markus-w and my reed switch allows me to go only 80km/h thats 49.7097 mph
-
Derestrict yamaha dt 125 r 1997@markus-w if i cut it off the bike wount rev over 6k and if i move it it randomly restricts it to 6k rpm. then i need to come to a stop and it revs over 6k.
