    • RE: Belgarda Yamaha TDR125 3SH

      Meant to add that my original calliper was glued on with one of the mounts, so god only knows how it 'passed' its last MOT.

      This will teach me not to bid on ebay late at night with the old "I'll never win that...."

    • Belgarda Yamaha TDR125 3SH

      Hi All,

      I've recently purchased a restored Italian TDR from ebay which I must commend the previous owners guide dog on giving it his best shot, but man its a dog itself. Note to self don't bid on ebay at midnight...

      I'm posting this from work so cant upload anything from here but in all honesty I'm too embarrassed to show anything until I'm at least ready to start rebuilding it from the ground up. Main issues (lol) at present include rough body kit, rusty forks / broken calliper mount and no YPVS servo. The bike did run (now in bits) but judging on the rest of the bike I'm not sure how 'rebuilt' its actually been so am reluctant to waste any money on it. My current plan is to drop a DT200R 3ET engine in as I'm off to France next month on holiday in my van if I can figure out their free-ads in Brittany.

      Anyways if anyone has any TDR stuff let me know as I probably need it!

      I'm also on the look out for a WR200 or DT200WR but wont get one from here as they are too highly sought after (ie expensive) but have owned a 200WR before along with numerous DT-R's and really regret selling the light and nimble 200 even if it did come with a moped size kickstart!!

      Cheers - Ben

    • RE: DT125R vs DT200R Exhaust.

      Two strokes were once the bike of choice for people on low incomes, in the UK they are rapidly becoming the preserve of folk with lots of cash to spend on rare parts now 😉

      I was looking for a 200R lump to go into my 3SH TDR125 but have pretty much given up as they are impossible to find over here right now.

      Unit 5 Moto's had a rough one up a few weeks back for soemthing like £2200 which sold in days - there are no bargains to be had with anything DT related at all it seems 😞

    • RE: Hello All

      @andrewj1680 said in Hello All:

      My rgv250 was a animal i find hard to believe a rs125 would come anywhere close to it

      I've owned TL1000S, 996, Tuono 1000 etc so I know what animal bikes are like to ride 😉

      RS125 was just a really nice small capacity sportsbike that's what I was getting at. Obviously an RGV will be quicker, but sometimes there's more fun in maxing a tiddler 🙂

    • RE: Restricted power?

      @Big-Col tbh I'm looking forward to using the 200 more this year as the 1200 is good but the little wr is scruffy so it don't matter if it gets dropped off road. Got to laugh the Multistrada has an enduro setting - like that's going off road lol!

    • RE: Question for those that has their dt stolen an recovered

      Best place to store a motorcycle is indoors and if you cant do that a garage. I've had DT's parked outside chained up and been woken up in the night by the sound of rattling chains - had to sleep in the winter with the bedroom windows open just to try and hear if anything was happening to my bike!

    • RE: DT200WR restoration project pic heavy

      I hear you dude!

      This year is getting the DT200WR onto the road (its scruffy) then over the winter doing a SM rebuild. Trouble is I've also got a TDR125 Belgarda I want to make a 200R and my 900 Monster in bits ready to build with lots of carbon and full Maxton suspension.

      Next project is going to be a Suzuki SJ with replica Willys Jeep body mounted on top 😉

    • RE: DT200WR restoration project pic heavy

      Quality looks great - can't say I agree with the colour choice as I'm more of a black with added black kinda guy 😉

      Your project is like mine - restricted by cash flow or lack of.....

    • RE: wr200 rebuild

      Both WR's are rare. The 250Z was made for quite a number of years but it was only iirc France and maybe Australia that got the road legal ones as seen in blue / yellow. The 200 in both guises, the WR was sold here along with the USA etc. The DT-WR version seems to have been an Asia only market bike.

      Both are rare but in my own personal opinion the 200 is the best blend of reliability, power, suspension and looks you can get with a road going trail bike. I'd make the 250 into a mental supermoto 😉

    • RE: Tips for seat cover install

      Take it to a furniture shop and get them to do it for about twenty quid whilst you sit in the cafe / pub 😉

      4GW is TDR from memory - handy for an electric start conversion if you could be bothered!

    • RE: Swing arm movement

      @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

    • RE: Swing arm movement

      I've collected all the parts to do the swingarm on my TDR (basically a DTR) from Yamaha / Wemoto and they were horrendously expensive. Bet its cost something daft like two hundred quid or even more for the 125 bits.

      Strange then that All Balls make a kit for my DT200WR that includes everything across a couple of kits for around a hundred quid!

    • RE: Rear wheels

      @rking7888 the only difference I've ever seen with this type of Yamaha hub is that most have 3 bearings and a few only have 2 but they are very common and fit loads of Yam's. For example both my DT200WR and Italian TDR125 have them

    • RE: So Close!...

      @stevie-wonder Harpic is brutal but effective - it will mark the chrome on forks its that acidic. If you use it you must paint straight after as its bare metal which will immediately rust again

    • RE: Crankshafts🥵

      Is the crank totally knackered? Usually I'd just get a new con-rod kit pressed into mine by a specialist like PJME or SEP etc

    • RE: So Close!...

      @spookdog I've used the Loctite stuff before but its not very good, apparently Jennolite (sp?) is meant to be much better. Probably better to get blasted then paint immediately afterwards

    • RE: Carb issue / only idling/starting with choke

      Worst case scenario a crank seal has gone but I'd go for the carb first and make sure its super clean
