DT125R FORUM

Sorry for not updating this thread but I was too busy riding haha
The seal change worked a treat but has flagged up a spark issue where I think the ht or wiring is earthing to frame intermittently
Could be ht or stand switch etc as its cutting out for a split second and then backfiring when the spark comes back

The arm that pushes the clutch rod can get worn at the end and cause similar problems even with the clutch adjusted properly

Both sides are done without splitting the cases on a dt and with the engine in the bike
I'm not bodging it im just fixing a £10 part for now as its getting a full rebuild in a couple months
I wasn't able to do it yesterday as my lil girl was sick all day so its getting done today instead
Wish me luck haha

Yh got everything I need to do it that way but worried bout the bits of metal from drilling and also the distance between the seal and bearing.
Any other methods welcomed tho guys but not digging it out with a screwdriver lol

@Calum Ahh I see what you mean by splitting the cases but no need on the Dt ,did you have a blonde moment for a bit there bud hehe

Yup I agree on both counts buuuuuuttt the weather is great for this time of year and a family member just got his license and we've well and truly fallen in love with 2 strokes again! Haha
The seals are so cheap that if they last 3 months I'm happy
After the nice weather it's getting stored in my garage so will definitely be getting the rebuild it deserves,can't wait but for now I just wanna get out there in the dirt

@Calum no just the seals,I realise the bearings might be buggered as well but I won't know until I get it open and give the crank a wiggle,the bike should be getting a full rebuild during the winter so was just keeping it going until then lol
@MIGHTYMAN yeah will definitely take photos and stick em up on here,should of got video of them finally giving up,was doing 75 and all of a sudden the bike starts stuttering and losing power,you should have seen the mess it made and the smoke trail was immense hahahh

Just about to change the main oil seals
Any tips lads ? Btw these have been in there for 26years
I'm getting a smaller torque wrench for the more delicate threads etc
And some threadlock but its always good to have more than one opinion on things.
Thanks guys

Oh definitely darty,this things going nowhere near my engine that's for sure, thought i might give you guys summin to laugh at

It's a serious question fellas
This was sent to me as a dtr seal,it's the right size etc but that's not what I was gettin at,those with a good eye might have seen the rust on the Spring ?this being a right hand crank oil seal is double lipped and both springs are rusty,here's a pic of the other side

I think u were right to question a 17.5 I only have the manual that goes to 1991 and in there it's a 22.5
Maybe somebody tried to correct a jetting issue and got it wrong

You could have it refurbed maybe ? Just a thought

Sorry I stand corrected
Wouldn't want to mislead anyone
There was a difference in carb size over the years wasn't there ? Or have I got my wires crossed ?
I've worked on so many bikes over the years I get em muddled up

210 main? Your bike must be an early one or an early carb
On later models the std main is 240 I think
Also later dts have a 28mm carb early ones have 26mm
Hope this helps

Niiiiiice let us know how u find it yh,what year bike are you putting it on?

Bit strange like that sometimes,had the same thing with my car insurance by putting my Missus on as a learner actually lowered the price,go figure haha

Very interested in this,that's a good chunk of weight saving

Forgot to mention £93 is third party fire n theft,looks like I'm just gonna go for it then
Nice one fellas
Ps wth is up voting
