DT125R FORUM

@declan hell yeah 😂

DTRE Lights are probably going to be the best in terms of brightness. They are so much better than the DTR ones, and the enduro ones are really more for style over substance.

Again, you actually don't need lights for a legitimate MOT. But if they are fitted, then they must comply.

What we do is simply place a piece of card over the bulbs, and tape up the switches.

You can get a day time MOT with that done.

Decided to change the seat cover this afternoon before work, also reshaped it so it fits the MX fender more natural & installed my trail tech in my bar pad.

Not sure if I like the cut plastic on the back

Trailtech vapor, not sure how to overcome the crinkle of the pad tape

@ricky0115 Nah, you need to scrap everything you know about the rear wheel and start fresh.

The sprocket size will alter the speed, but that's way way ahead of where you are today.

Ultimately I had my sprockets custom made by renthal, so sprocket sizes are not the issue.

The issue is getting the fitment right.

@ninja I’m pretty sure the front only needs a caliper bracket, but I believe I will need a custom rear spindle, spacers and instead of machining the rear sprocket putting a space on the front sprocket? Anyone know where I should look at getting these made? I’m in Nottingham. Cheers

@ricky0115 shit happens lol

Look's like another bike built out of spare parts lying around???

@calum said in What would you do in my situation?:

I never found those things any good. I just used carb cleaner and some elbow grease.

Me to Cal, plus a bit of compressed air and a new pilot is pennys also

This is my water pump impeller with the pump seal welded to it, I bought the Athena seal from PJME and I didn’t realise it didn’t fit correctly till I fired up my bike and this is what was screeching so I would advise if replacing the water pump seal use OEM!

@ricky0115 thank you

@declan Phew, thanks

Nice one cheers

@ricky0115 Yeah but would take cause the RPM's to increase.

@dan28 I have a small blinded hose with clip on side of the pump , so when bike idling , take the clip off and pull the blinded hose , manually by hand turn the pulley to max so the pump pumping max oil. I am replaced my oil hoses for clear ones so I can see there is no bubbles . I think its only important to bleed the oil tank - pump pipe. If you doing it , place a clean container (Im using old jar from pickles) so I can reuse the oil. If you did rebuilt the top end , you have probably used excessive amount of oil to lube the bearings and rings so I think its plenty for less than 5min job bleeding oil pump . If you premix your petrol in tank and bleed the pump , you will run too much oil which fouling spark. (Happened to me) 😊

He gave me these dimensions :

Bottom of the stem is 30mm
Top bearing inside diameter is 28mm.
Top to bottom length is 250mm.

Anyone measure or have measurements for the DT?

@calum thanks man appreciate it
