I'm not very good at changing all these oils, I'm just making sure that under the kick start (ON A 2 STROKE) there is a little plug sorta thing, do I put gearbox oil in there?

How much would it roughly cost to get a DT 125 serviced?

Not to sure if there is ment to be one, I don't have one but I don't know if its been lost and been replaced with just a screw on cap

What's the cheapest but best 2 stroke engine oil for my DT 125 R?

so, not a yamaha, but its still worth asking as all you people are extremely heplfull! basically, the SV i bought is running fine, up untill about 4500-5000rpm, and the one of the cylinders cut out. there was a heap of water in the tank, but thats been drained/cleaned along with all the lines and the carbs, anyone got any ideas as to what to check next? was planning using it this week but since its nae got the same reliability as my yamaha, i decided to take my *caugh* trusty xj *cough* instead. Cheers. Matt

So I've got blue plastics on my DT 125R but I like the look of black plastics, what do you think?

So I take my dt 125 up the woods every weekend nearly, what are the most handiest things to have?

Anyone know if the solenoid from from any other Yamaha will fit this bike.

I have been re...er decorating and upgrading my 83 XT250 and I have found that there are many extra wiring options that I didn't initially take note of...ok I just took the thing apart without taking any notes. So what I need is maybe a picture or two of what its suppose to look like. The bike also didn't come with a speedo, so I have an older speedo attached so the wiring harness for the idiot light don't match up obviously because I don't have the oem speedo. Otherwise I'm having a great time but until I figure this wiring out I cannot ride it. PS I have the Clymer manual and since I'm not an electrical engineer...yet, I need and like pictures, like the books read…

Hey there fellow Yammers. Quicky for you which will probably make me sound a bit daft (I am). I want to change the chain and sprockets on my Thundercat and fancied going down a tooth at the front for obvioius reasons. Thing is, I dont know how many teeth there are to start. Plus when you buy a bike specific kit it would come with the standard sprockets. Any suggestions? Thanks folks, Andy

I recently bought some tools for my DT and I want a bag to strap to the seat, like enduros riders have little bags on the back, anyone know any decent tool bags for under £15. Also how do you put them on do you strap them under your seat or what?

Right folks, just had my bike sorted. The steering was very stiff and dodgy and I thought it was the steering bearings or something. I am such a fucking retard, get to the garage and straight away the guy tells me my front tyre is flat. I didn't even notice. I feel a right idiot. Turns out I had a puncture, so the member who guessed correctly was................. Blackhat250 Well done mate. Round of applause...........................

are motoclyle tyres glued on like cars.have a new set of tyres for my dt 80 mx,will be fitting myself

well I had to take a day off from work today as i had the electric man coming round ti fit a new meter. my meter is at the back of my garage so i had move my bikes out & a lot of other crap, they said he will be here before 1pm so i thought i will make good use of my day off and get my bike mot'd in the afternoon, so I got up early to empty the garage and do a pre MOT check, 1st I got electrical gremlins which I predicted would happen to grouch, took me over 2 hours to sort out then i discovered that I had been riding round with an almost flat front tyre, which i had a bit of a pop at grouch about a couple of days ago, serve's me right for being a smart arse all …

Hey guys, First off, nice to meet you all. (as far as meeting on a forum goes...) I'm new here. Just got one of my first bikes.. a 1973 TX500 Got the carbs off, and cleaning. Primary cover is off for general inspection/cleaning. I'll have some picture for you guys soon enough. Anyway.. I've been scouring the internet for a service manual for this thing (there is a loud tapping going on in the engine, and I'm guessing it's either valves or the cam chain slapping around... anyone know how I can figure out which it is?). I've never tightened a cam chain, or done a valve job. Hell I've never taken off a primary casing. Having tons of fun, but I need …
