Hello

i will start this project slowly , no hurry's, i cant drive this beast yet, need to be 24 years old to take the licence. only in january i can have the licence.

i will post the photos of the beginning of this build, and i will explain my objectives with this bike.

First Parts will be:

• USED OEM Brembo discs x2, bought here in portugal for 120€ pretty good, insted of paying 500€ for brand new discs

• New BREMBO front master cylinder RCS19 with TWM clutch. (Same like i did on RS125, but 19 instead of 15) (~330€)

• New/Used Genuine Complete Headlight from RS125 (90-05) or RS250 since they use the same light

• New/Used complete back light with licence holder from RS125 (90-05) or RS250 since they use the same

• New Genuine Windshield (~90€) already bought on eBay.

after this basic stuff, i will buy new tyres, new exhaust ( i like loud bikes :D) Tyga or JimLomas Side by Side with carbon silencers. this cost around 1.000€

Work needed on the bike:

• New paint in Mugello Colours with stickers. ( i already have most of the stickers needed, since i bought for my rs125 some time ago, but they were very hard to fit on rs125 late models)
• Need to remove the paint insome parts (calipers, handlebars, wheels) previous owner did a bad job painting them.

for now, this are the most important things to fix for me.

If you guys know someone that have OEM parts that i need, i will aprecciate

Thanks for all your help in the previous build, in special @Calum and @NINJA

P.S. Sorry for my english, not my native language

here you have some photos, on the photos you cant see the bad paint job the previous owner did. trust me, the photos hide the fails on the paint. the brembo calipers are chinese paint lol

but the engine its fine, so i have more spac€ for other stuff needed.

Hi

first of all, sorry for only creating my dtx125 post today, since this is a forum mostly about yamaha dtr/dtx bikes. Some of you may noticed, i have post's about my italian bikes, but i promised i would create one for my little dtx125, that i own since i was 17year old ( im 23).

i will not post much here, because this bike will be in standby for indeterminate time and i dont understand of mechanics to make the things on my own. i have a big big project for my RS250, and it will take all my cash available for bikes in the future.

BUT, i have a brand new box with Kit Athena 170cc in my garage, ready to be installed when i want.

here she is

about the bike:

• 2009 model
• stock engine with stainless steel exhaust by Romeu Henriques (Portugal), i have a spare one with damaged crank i guess. that one will be used for athena kit.
• leo vince silencer from yz125. (just for the looks, i love that silencer. not the best in performance)

basically, its a stock dtx. i dont plan to change much things in the bike. only on the engine

thats it, hope you like it! and sorry about my english

i have romeu henriques pipe too on my dtx and its amazing the sound!

i was bored at home, and i said to myself that i can remove the engine of the bike and save some cash not paying to someone to do it for me.

so i did

looks very dirt inside

out of the frame already

i may be wrong but i think this engine never left the frame of the bike in 20 years

look the powevalve housing, this after a cleaning with absorvent paper. when i opened lots of burned oil leaked

piston, i dont have a clue if its very bad condition or not. what you guys think?

cylinder head, no ideia again if bad or not

what's your opinions? full rebuild since i have engine out? btw, the engine i will not touch, no skills for that.

this was the first time i worked on a bike, im proud of myself that i did it. i organized all parts and screws on zip bags to not lose anything.

hope you like it!

Hi guys

quick update on the parts that i already found and bought.

Used OEM Brembo discs x2

Used Genuine Complete Headlight

Used complete back light with licence holder

New Genuine Windshield

Used driver seat

Used Low rear fairing lockup

thanks to @NINJA for the facebook group's , found almost every part used there.

Next month, i hope i can order this parts:

Brembo RCS 17 with the TWM clutch( some guys told me better then rcs19 for rs250) and Brembo Rear Disc

i cant buy much more parts for now, unfortunately i damaged the engine of my pitbike. and will not be cheap to repair i guess

thanks!!

a photographer asked me if he could make a session with my bike, i said yes of course. so i hope soon i will have real photos to show you guys

and i will put a tyga silencer to try to win the bike of the month competition

hi guys

last bits of carbon installed

photos are similiar to the last ones, and you cant see very well the carbon on the rear wheel, but thats the best i could do. im not good with photography i guess :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

@NINJA OMG, thank you! I already found all parts i need from a guy on the group, except the seat.

And for a very good price

hello

2 more carbon bits on the way. i hope i will get them next week.

i think it looks amazing. from Veronesi Racing

this build almost closed. i cant wait to start the "big sister" project

hi

i will send my carburetors and brembo calipers to rebuild to "MHF Restoration Macclesfield Cheshire" in UK. they do amazing jobs in restauration projects.

anyone used this company before?

@DTR-NSR you are right, that the most dangerous part on engine, if the pin get lose can damage engine pretty bad. thats why i will change it

@NINJA will do that. thanks

guys i think i will use vapour blasting services on carbs, engine cases, brembo calipers and some other parts to make it look mint condition. and price is reasonable.

i saw some photos and i like how it looks.

@NINJA @Calum its possible to powder coating the calipers? i want the original gold colour on them.

what method should i use to paint the calipers?

and should i rebuild the calipers or no need?

@NINJA i aprecciate you like the sound and the smell of A747 :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

it's so fun to ride, but the bike is very dangerous at the moment, need to rebuild front suspension next year

@Calum 15.000 km i think, its estimated time for a change of pistons i guess.

i would love to rebuild it myself, but i will not risk this engine. first i need to learn on dtx and rs 125 then i will adventure on this beast.

i think i will replace everything, pistons, pv's, pulleys, water inlets , basically make a complety fresh engine. then i will know what to expect from the engine.

i will take more time to make it running but i have more insurance that it dont break so easily.

btw, what products you guys use to clean engine, carbs and general parts? i heard brake cleaner is good, but want to know what you use first.

i was bored at home, and i said to myself that i can remove the engine of the bike and save some cash not paying to someone to do it for me.

so i did

looks very dirt inside

out of the frame already

i may be wrong but i think this engine never left the frame of the bike in 20 years

hope you like it!

@NINJA its public now, sorry

hi guys

i made a quick video of the rs125. not the best quality of video but just to show the sound

hi

yesterday i started to remove parts from the rs, to send to the powder coating. i want to remove the wheels too , but i need a stand to keep the bike straight. i already have one that i use for the rs125, but i need one for the front, so that way i can remove both wheels without problems. any suggestion?

btw, im doing pretty fine removing parts from a bike for the first time. but i'm struggling with some bolts and nuts that are very hard to remove. for example on both front brembo calipers i cant remove the nut that connects the braking cable.

i think i need some more tools to have at my home. once again, i accept suggestion for tools
