Can anyone tell me how to de-restrict my dt 125r 2004

From Llandrindod Wells down to Llandovery....then back up to Builth via a short excursion on the Sugarloaf Mountain! Here's a couple of shots on the mountain trail.... And for all you doubters.....yes, this is real mud! And back home via Builth Wells. So that's the last ride of 2004!

I reckon it's a good thing myself! What do you think?

Hi guys, Can anyone guide me with what 'ROAD' tyres to use on my DT125 52 plate. This Bike is for my son to learn on ( Tall Bloke), and I would prefer him to be on road tyres. The only road tyres I can find are from Heidenau, these are fine but the front and rear pattern treads are completely different. Thanks in advance for any help. Barry

Have just spent most of my working day reading the forums....not sure my boss would be too happy but it has thrown up another question....two in one day. I have a 1998 DTR which has a seperate bottle for the 2 stroke so i don't have to premix. I filled it up and have only been out on the bike twice doing a total of about 40 miles, if that, and used about two thirds of the bottle. Is This Right? Am i using too much oil and if so can it be checked/adjusted etc Thanks all

As mentioned elswhere, I just bought a minty 98 model. Keen to yak with fellow owners. Was this bike made in Italy? Sure is a fun big bike. Hauls my big fat ass along right smartly Mick.

I found this forum and I thought I would join so hello ! Any good mods I could do to my new bike ?

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my little XT125X to go faster?! Need more top end...

I am feeling like a right numpty at the mo! Just dropped my XT125X and landed in a heap on the floor. Thankfully nothing more than a broken brake lever!! Can anyone tell me where to get one from? I don't want to go to Yamaha as i think they may rip me off! Also thinking of getting some front and rear crash bobbins and some hand guards (now my grip is ripped) Where can I get some from that'll fit ?? Any suggestions? It's a 2008 model. Lorraine x

Hi all. Just brought myself a nice little xt125x (2006) for pottering round on. I want to give it a oil and filter change but can't for the life of me find a oil filter fitted. Anyone got any pointers????? Also anyone know how to adjust the time on the digital speedo because thats got me baffled also. Thanks in advance Matt

Just bought a yamaha dt 125cc offroader and it fired up then cut out straight away so i tried starting it again and now it wont fire up, ive checked for a spark and there isnt one :S why is this if it fired up first time? cheers

Hello, always wanted one when I was younger, but couldn't afford one, but have finally managed to get on :-) The bike does not have a V5 but the frame and engine numbers match, is there a web site I can use to fine the exact year and model? I think it's a 1983 model. Will it be hard to get an age related plate? Does anyone know the best place to get spares and or where there are any good images, the person who had the bike before me must have been a goth nearly everything is painted black :-( Thanks in advance............

So about 6 months ago i bought a 1978 dt175 and fixed it up a bit and has been running pretty good. I go to take it for a ride the other day and its running terrible for about ten minutes then dies and wouldnt start again. the only way it would stay running for a bit was with the choke in. I took apart the carb it seemed fine, checked fuel line, it was gettin fuel, checked spark and bought a new plug, fine, and still wont run. i kicked it probably 100 times with no start up and a weird sounding fart noiseoutta the exhaust about every ten kicks. What do i do? also it appears to have some soft of fluid wetness where the head meets the block. could this have something to …

Hi. I have just recently bought an 05 DTRX that has been sitting for a year previously. Could someone please tell me what i should change and replace? I have guessed that it is a good idea to change the engine oil and possibly the transmission oil and coolant? I have looked in the service manual and it does not tell you how to do a complete engine oil change? Is it just a case of draining it out and filling it up? Any other suggestions on what should be checked etc will be much appreciated. The bike had been serviced not long before it was left for the year and please bare in mind I am completly new to this..... Thanks in advance
