DT125R FORUM

@Calum never use to tho mate always started first kick even when we had snow now it's like it dont want to start plugs good fuels fine it's like the carbs missing oxygen or something to make combustion really confusing me

Anyone know the correct settings on a dt125r I'm running a full dep system and a 240 main jet my bike is tempremental will kick first time from cold then wont I have ti keep adjusting the air screw and putting the choke up and down.

@declan going to start with the basics.. carb clean air box and filter new plug clean all the loom cling film and vasaline them to keep the moister off and see if their is anything I seem to find

Anyone know if their is an alternative sidestand you can use on a DT such as a wr one cant seem to find one and mines snapped

@Calum how would i stop water though its bloody winter I dont get why it runs like a bga of shit one minuet and the next fine.. leaving me scratching my head tbh.

@Calum moterbike shop near me done it using all original parts cost me £450 ran it in correctly and all of a sudden due to poor weather conditions it keeps cutting out in he mornings in the afternoone or evening it didnt do it

@declan so new fuel hoses and re set the carb?

I have a dt125r 2001 y reg, recebt top end rebuild I have just ran it in and was working lovely but for the past two mornings on the way to work it has decided after a 5 or 10 minuet run it wants to cut out and die. Leave it for 5minuets or so snd it will start again but start to run like a bag of shit and not want to go and die again ... any insight would help I al not currently with the bike but would like to know where to look .

@NINJA I've got these in my basket my running light has gone but my full beam works going through fog is a nightmare with full beam on hopefully they do the trick.. are they just a straight swap and no need for an adaptor ?

Anyone know if their is a easy headlight bulb upgrade as mine are fucking dog shit commuting to work at 3:30am sometimes through fog and shit rain in winter the standard bulb just does not give enough light through the unlit roads .

@Calum the power valve was working fine before the rebuild .. the red switch was located at the back of the clocks and taped up with vaseline at to stop it getting wet. I've got a full depth system which is not on as its winter and their prone to rotting out... carb was set up correctly and fuel is fine been working fine all but this .. 75/80mph with the standard pipe derestricted power valve is not pinned though but is working fine

Yamaha dt125r 2001 7k miles just had a top end rebuild by Yamaha... has been run in efficient but this morning on the way in from work 4th gear it started to loose power and begin to hold back as if its bogging. Change down into 3rd or 5th and its runs fine and wants to go all through the power band. Any idea on what to check or look for.

@Calum 240main with a full dep system

@Calum v power and castrol ... just have to invest in a wr450 for green laneing then

@NINJA you can get the wireless hour meters for 25pound plug on the handle bars really and truly the bikes no worth ficing its had a hsrd life to say the least head light works but everything else is a no good tbh a simple hour meter and the correct hours is a 5minuet job and someone with the correct no how would be more helpful

Anyone know at what sort of hours you should rebuild a top/bottom end at got a pure green laneing dt clocks don't work was thinking of fitting an hour meter so could check as don't wish to be miles up through the woods and it goes bang any info would be appreciated

@shaunp1912 check behind the clocks for a reed valve switch little green thing In a glass tube tape it up put some vas on it to stop it getting damp should re-restrict it depending if it's the dtr pre 2003 if it's the re2004 model then it's electrical to de restrict

Anyone know where I can get custom graphics for the bike I want to turn it black and yellow with the fake taxi logo plastered up the side after all the dt is bike porn

@NINJA pretty handy but don't really no where to start with 2t as this is my first one ... all I no is that I'm waiting for her to get back 2 me
