Hi guys, I am after abit of advice as to where I can source a new set of spokes and nipples for my wheels.. I have a 2006 Yamaha DT 125x supermoto that my spokes have corroded on, I am getting my wheels powdercoated and want the spokes changing too. Just a simple gloss black set of spokes and nipples, does anybody have any ideas where I can get them from? Thanks

Hey so I've got a full DEP system on at the moment but are there any other silencers that sound any better ? In my opinion it doesn't sound that good. I was following what I think was an rs125 and it sounded so much better, kinda more high pitch...

Hi basically I want to make my DT a bit more colourful because at the moment its full back with some grey bits. Anyway I was thinking of changing the handlebars but I don't know which ones fit, I was gonna get these ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENTHAL-7-8-STANDARD-MOTOCROSS-ENDURO-HANDLEBARS-/221029505509?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item33766299e5

Hey Everyone! Hope everyone had a good holiday! I have a 1979 Yamaha DT125 F and I am turning the bike into a cafe racer. To make it a cleaner look I want to take off the air box and put an air filter on the carbarator. My understanding is that I need to jet my carbs before doing this. How would I jet the carb specifically so I can have just an air filter instead of the air box? Any help on this would be greatly appricated! Cheers!

I just bought this bike used with only 3,000 miles on it. So the overall condition of the bike is very good. The owner broke one of the rear turn signals. Now I am trying to figure out what's happening with it. Beyond the obvious needing to replace the light...here are additional symptoms...the remaing 3 signals (2 front, 1 rear) do not respond to the handlebar switch. The headlight runs fine. The tail light runs fine. When using the front brake, the brake light works all the time; however, when using the foot brake the stop light works intermittently. Do you think if I just put on a new rear signal, this will fix the "system" so all lights will work? I have already dete…

Hello everyone, I'm getting my wheels and swing arm powder coated so would want to replace the wheel bearings and will need to replace the swing arm bushes too.. any ideas on a good place to source these bits from that are good quality and reasonably priced? Any advice great fully accepted, thank you (:

I have a running dt125 This is my first bike I have worked on and need some help. I am attempting to change the bike into a street tracker and want to find out a few things if possible. 1) any tricks I can do to the engine or bike to make it faster? 2) I want to take the air box and replace it with a cleaner looking air filter, can it be done? 3) I cannot get the turn signals to blink, they turn on when I turn the switch but only stay on and not blink.

Hi all. I'm new to site so sorry if I'm in the wrong end but thought I'd start with my electrical dt 400 woes and let someone guide my through! This bike runs, lights, horn all work, no blowing bulbs etc. 2nd battery now and both seem to of chucked the fluid out through vent pipe. Having to top up regularly but I am only just re commissioning with short road blasts. I'm a novice but can say charge looks good with lights on and revs up but no charge in daytime lights out. Something obvious to look for? Corbstar uk.

Anyone know where I could get a bolt set for my dt 125 as the person who had it before has played around and has obviously lost bolts and has just replaced with whatever would fit so would like to try get them all back to being the same

Hi friends... My Power valve servo has some fired circuit components... I've changed some but i don't know what some of them are... I need a close picture of two sides of the YPVS circuit inside the servo box... Can any one send me these pictures or a circuit diagram please???

Hi, have not been on here for a while but still have my DT, nearly sold it recently though as was getting fed up with holing pistons!! Have gone up to 220 on the main jet but still holed a piston after overtaking a car at full revs. Now rebuilt but have gone back down to a 195 main as it was running rough and was better with this jet though still not right. Was passing a motor factors the other day and thought I would drop in and get a new spark plug as guessed that might be the problem. They didn't have a E8ES only a E6ES which the bloke said was cooler but should work only it might not last. After putting it in it now starts with just a half hearted push on the kick st…

Hi all, I've had a very frustrating day green laning today. The lanes were very wet and muddy and after almost every lane my bike was running like s##t. I had to stop, drain the carb and then carry on. I did this about 7 times. I've had the trouble before and have removed the carb and cleaned it countless times. My air filter was cleaned, dried and oiled two rides ago so I know that is clean. As you can imagine this is very frustrating. Any help and advice on how to stop his happening would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

I really don't want to get into a big discussion here. Oil threads are beat to death. I just want to know what you guys are putting in your ole xt's since 20w/40 is no longer available? Mine is an 89' with about 17K on it. Also has anyone put full synthetic in the thing? Just wondering how it reacted with the clutch. I've been using 10w-40 Valvoline motorcycle oil because it's pretty easily available. What are you guys using? thanks

Hi I have a DT125x 06 with supermoto wheels, and would like to do a bit of off roading but it is fitted with a brembo caliper and the disc on the front wheel is alot bigger that the disc on the off road wheel, so the caliper does not reach the disc. what is the easiest way of resolving this problem. any help would be grateful.
