Hello, I got a yamaha XT 125 R and i was wondering what headlight blub i got. Can somebody way what type it is ? Grts,

HI all, Here's a few pics of the new wheels I picked up a couple of months ago for $150. I figure good value if it runs and it' less than $1 per CC. I need to fix the slipping clutch and put the air filters back in place as it idles all over the place. It will at least start. I'll eventully get around to set the timing so if anyone wants to take a punt on the numbers on that please let me know. I was thinking of trying the points setting of a DT 175a and see how that goes. Gordo

I'm renovating a DT125R and had to replace the rear wheel. Now I have done that I CANNOT GET ANY PRESSURE FROM THE REAR BRAKE AND THE BRAKE DOES NOT OPERATE. The rear brake caliper is fixed to the wheel spindle, so when I removed the wheel I (probably incorrectly), I disconnected the rear brake cable from the caliper so that the caliper could be removed connected to the wheel spindle. I have now read that I have made some errors in the way I removed the wheel and in particular the rear brake caliper. The rear brake cable that I disconnected from the caliper has obviously leaked some brake fluid whilst the wheel was replaced. Now I have replaced the wheel/caliper…

I have a 2008 XT 250 ridden mostly on the street and would like to install a headlight modulator. Has anyone an electrical diagram they would share? Thanks, Motobobalooie

When I tell people I ride an AT1, many respond with "I remember those! I learned to ride on one!" Seems everyone had one, and everyone liked them. Did any of you fellow Yamaha die-hards have one? What did you think? Maybe you have a funny story, or a good (or bad) memory associated with it - either way, I'd like to hear it. Thanks! Nacho

Hi all bought my 2000 yz 125 last week was running fine then all of a sudden it died at high revs in 5th and refused to re start off kick, tried bump starting and had to be pulled by a car for about 500m before it eventually started, but then died again and wouldn't restart. anyone got any ideas what it could be that is causing this? thanks joe

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, recently purchased a 2008 registerd TDR 125 that was a grey import from Germany. Unsure what year the model is other than it's definately a modern model. Had it on the road briefly but unfortunatly due to lack of funds it's been sat for a few months. When it was on the road it topped out at an indicated 70 to 74/5 Mph. It currently has the factory exhaust installed and according to the previous owner (who imported it as far as I'm aware) It has never been de-restricted. My questions are, as the engine is as far as im aware a DT engine will a modern DT performance exhaust such as a DEP/Arrow exhaust fit my bike and has anybody had experience…

Thanks in advance. Nick.

Hi guys, Sorry I havn't been on here in a while, i started a new job and it all got hectic! I've recently purchased an old Yamaha WR200 enduro. I've been told it's been bored out to a 250 but I've yet to open up the engine as it seems to have compresssion and turns nicely so will get it running before i do so. I was wondering if anyone on here knew much about them? I remember seeing a thread about them a while back but there wasnt much response. I'm planning to restore it and possibly make it road legal. I want to sell the DTRE and and start looking for a 31k RD350 but alot of my funds are tied up in the DTRE and i dont want to be bikeless for any period of tim…
