im led to beleive that by using a smaller back sprocket i will get more top end speed,how many teeth do i need to go down on from the standard sprocket

does it matter if you earth the green and black wire behind the speedo clocks on the dtr 125x to the frame or battery or is it to the frame only

Hi all, I am the owner of a WR250X (great funbike) but I want to change my rims during the winter. Do the rims of a WR450 fit on a WR250X? Who can help me with the answer? Greetings, Mary Anne

Hello all, First Yamaha for this guy. Bought neighbors DT50 for my young one to learn how to ride/shift. Kicks over and starts/runs fine. Instantly goes to full throttle. Also, tach doesn't work and has a a couple broken lenses/stalks for signals. Are these easy to still purchase? Are any of these easy fixes? It is still using the Autolube system, which is working. Should I keep using it or bypass for premix. All of my other smokers are vintage and use oil injection, but are all Suzuki. Is the Yamaha system as reliable? Other than that, the bike is in solid original condition with only 1411 US miles on it. What else can anyone share on the older DT…

I'm looking for a vintage crossbar pad for my 1979 Yamaha DT125 rebuild. I've searched the internet and ebay and come up with nothing I like. Any links would be appreciated. Yellow w/black lettering would be best. Thanks

I have another account on here, but i am sure it has been deleted for some reason, or maybe i have tried to recover from the wrong email account! i have been looking for a front disc for my 2004 DT125RE for a while, i made a build thread on my other account and am finding that the discs are expensive! anyone got one for sale or know a cheap online shop? cheers moz

Hello! I want to rebuild my dt125r to sm. I want to know what wheels fit there perfect? Or have i change something else? Thanks!

The bike is a 1973 yamaha ct3. The engine has spark, fuel, and compression. The timing is off by 90 degrees and I have no idea how to fix this problem. There doesn't look like there's any way to adjust it and these are all factory components...I must be missing something. Any help? Thanks.

Couple months ago I had a really good site bookmarked, but after a harddriver-crash I had to get a new one and lost that site. The reason to that I'm looking for the site it because they had plastic to Yamaha DT125R 2003, just like mine, and other "odd/old" 125ccs like CRM etc, not the newer one as WRR or whatever they are called. Front mudguard, rear mudgard, sidecovers and the covers for the tank all that for less then 200€, which is fairly a good price to be.. Maybe a bit more but not much, I've been searching for the site A LOT, browsing trough 50 pages on Google with several different search terms, I would be so glad if anyone know what the website is called, I…

hi lads my mate has given me his xt125r 05 to look at and It doesn't have any compression and won't start so i have started to take it to bits to check valves and what not but the timing marks on the cam sprocket don't match up with the mark on the case when piston is at top dead,Is the timing the same as an honda c50 like the o mark lines up with the v mark on the case,This is like 8 teeth out, Anyway if anyone can help me it would be great. thanks. ps i am new here and it looks good

i have removed the cat from my standard dtr sm exhaust,once put on the bike should i get the same performance has the dep exhaust but with a different sound?

Hi Folks Recently broke the rear light & a few other odds & ends on my bike, which I have now replaced, however there is a terrible buzzing sound coming from the indicator relay under the seat/rear mudguard area. When I turn the ignition key, the neutral & oil lights no longer light up & I can't hear the little whirring sound that I used to get. The bike will start ok & these lights then come on, however the indicators then will not work unless I am on the throttle, at which point they seem to flash with a strange rhythm. I saw another post on here in which someone had a similar problem & the advise was to check a joint somewhere along a r…

I tried removing the rear footpegs on my XT but couldn't. By the looks of it I will have to chop the off with a stihl saw or grinder. I don't like them, they get in the way and look shit. Any suggestions on what to do, or how to go about it?

Does anyone know the "Dupli-color" paint code for the fenders on a 1974 DT175A , (silver color paint)? Thanks

Hi All, I hope someone can help me fix the electrical problem with my CT2. Brakelight works fine if I leave he headlights off. If I turn them on, brake light is permanently on and the other filament in the bulb glows faintly when I apply the brakes. Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks, Adil
