hi all, i have recently bought a dt125lc mk3 in blue/yellow for my son, all that i know about the bike is it has never been regitered before as its been used as a farm bike, its all still intact and apart from no rear indicators cant see why wouldnt go through an mot, my main questions are, 1)does anybody know how i would go about registering this bike on the road as dont know exact year of manufacture, and if its an import do i need import papers(im only thinking its an import as speedo reading in kph), 2) the bike has gold wheels and ive never seen one of these with gold wheels before, are they common? any help or advise would be great, thanks.

Hi guys. I dont suppose somebody has a 2002 (ish) DTR 125 frame they are up for selling? My frame is now twisted and i would rather buy a second hand one than have my frame jigged. Many regards

I have a TT600E 96/97 model engine which I built into a XT600 Tenere frame . The TT engine is a 4GV . I am having a hell of a time finding an ignition switch for this bike . The wiring diagram has a blue , red , brown and blue/red wire coming from it .I bought just the engine and electrics off a guy 6 years ago so I have no idea what the bike model was except that is a TT600 Belgarda .Does anyone have an idea what the part number is for this bike's ignition or another that would be compatible .The bike is electric start by the way .And a link to a parts fiche would be super too .

Can anyone tell the best place to get these for a 2003 yamaha dt 125 r? I heard that genuine ones are a no no, as they've now made then smaller, I'm running a full dep pipe so is it worth fitting a upgraded one of some sort? Thanks! Josh

Hi all, I'm just getting ready to rebuild my LC3, and I'm not sure what bearings/bushed I need for the swing arm? I compared it the DTR roller bearings and bushes, but they're too big. Should I be getting the top hat style plastic bushes that are all over eBay, or do I need the DTR style roller bearings?? Can anyone help? Ta, Lewis

Hello forum, I have just fitted an arrow exhaust to my sons 2007 xt 125, I have not removed any thing but the complete system. I had trouble starting it but this has been adjusted by the small brass screw on the right side of the carb, (looking forward) I set it to tick over at 1300 rpm but when i turn the throttle it bogs and cuts out if i don’t come off the throttle. Increases the tick over to 1500 /1550 now the bog is very slight with a quick throttle, slow twist and a bit of slip and off it goes. Seems to pull well up around 8000 rpm with good pick up but there is a slight back fire, big pop. It sounds nice but not sure if it will do any damage. I can’t find the ai…

Anyone know where I could get genuine plastics for my dtr 50.

May have outsmarted myself here. Just finished a resto on another 74 DT360A. Sold it on ebay last week ($3200) Had it running like new but noticed a slight leak around the shift shaft and decided to replace the seal. After replacing the seal, I had trouble getting the circlip in the slot - no clearance - had to pull on the shaft to expose the slot? When re-installing the shift lever, I had to tap on it to get it on the shaft. When i started it for a test ride, the shifter would not engage. I pulled the shaft out about 1/2" and was able to shift into first, but it won't upshift into any other gear. It was getting dark, so I rolled it in for the night. Any thoughts? Did …

just wondering realy if a 150/70/17 tyre fit on my dtx? as the standard is 140/70/17, did it to my cbr 125 made it alot more stable at higher speeds, cheers

Hi, need a bit of advice about the square junction box on the throttle cable. Where the oil pump cable and the carb cable meet, there is a white round plastic housing. Is that round housing supposed to be able to rotate? My one gradually gets pulled in one direction, so that eventually the bike won’t tick over below 2500rpm, because the cable is being pulled tighter. The Haynes manual doesn’t appear to help, so wonder if anyone here has had this happen. Cheers Lee

Hey guys, Sorry if this has been covered somewhere already; I did a cursory search but couldn't see anything. I've got a TW125 as my first bike and want a rack to fit the back. I've searched and the only thing I could turn up is some 'tubular topbox rack', at £102! That's far too much, and I'm not even sure it's what I need. I'm just looking for something like this (link), but I'm not sure if it's a standard fitting on the bike, or a specialised fitting. Thanks in advance.

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

Hello people! Yesterday I did remove the cylinderhead and a lot of stuffs around it, and I'm about to refit it all today or tomorrow depends on the answers I get I know that you should drag it all with some kind of momentkey which I got, but I'm not sure how much everything should be dragged, I got two manuals, one on swedish and one on english, they both contain the same information but two different languages ofc.. I just stands for very few things how much it should be dragged for.. And I really appreciate all the help I might get here from because I'm really lost and want to make it all properly done!

I just picked her up this past weekend. Needs to be rebuilt and what not. was wondering what tank upgrades i can get for it? Since i plan on riding her for a while to save money on fuel, but the tank with it is very tiny. I was thinking of putting a 7L Honda tank onto it. Or would this not work? I'm new to the whole rebuilding of bikes but am a quick learner so this should be fun . if anyone has links to helpful info or tips that would be helpful
