    Hello :D

    Hello people, i have just purchased a dtr125re 2004 model, i have had a dtr before and decided to get another, i have started to strip the bike down because of the previouse owner not looking after the bike, i will be powdercoating all brackets and the frame + swinger, i am looking towards putting a set of supermoto wheels on, i have no clue where to look, i have been racing pitbikes, supermoto style for over 2 years, but it seems to be a litte harder finding parts ect for a dt, also looking for a rear caliper plus brackets and seem to be having a little bit of trouble, there is one on ebay but at £130,00 seems steep?, i will try post some piks up of the build, i also need new graphics because the tank needs painting and the others are a bit tatty, any ideas of what supermoto wheels fit ect would be appreciated

    thanks moz

    AFAIK the DT125x wheels will fit, but require the forks/or a bracket making up for the front brake due to the larger front disc. Also may be worth looking into TDR Wheels.

    Can't understand why you would have a hard time finding parts for a DTR :blink:

    In a word. no.

    As far as i know the cranks are slightly different on the left hand side. The electric start would require the 2002 L/H engine case to be cut and tapped to fit the starter motor.

    Like anything, its probably possible to make it fit, but the time and effort may outweigh the cost savings.

    1989 Wiring Loom?

    Heya Vez :)

    The engine number starts with *3MD does this help me in my quest?

    Also the amount of knowledge you have is insane... /imitates Clarkson "Some people say... his legs are actually a pair of USD forks"

    Yes your bike being a 3MD (model 3RN1) does make things easier for you. The 96 loom is sketchy though as the wiring was changed in 96-97. If the 96 loom has the old style CDI then it could be made to work (if it doesn't plugnplay), if its the newer style CDI then it would be easier to make a new one from scratch than make it work.

    Will add diagrams shortly

    1989 Wiring Loom?

    The 1989 and 1996 are not compatible I'm afraid to say. The looms were changed in May 89 to the later 3RN1+ models (engine number starts 3MD), and i think yours is a 3DB1(engine number starts 3DB) IIRC.

    The 1996 will probably be a 3RN9 design, the cdi and stator plates are different on the later models and were one of the few changes made through the years. You would have to change a large portion of the electric system to make it work.

    £100 is maybe a custom made loom ?? I think having one made is the easiest option. Back in 2000ish i had loads of trouble getting a 3DB loom.

    There coming out of hibernation...

    Have you noticed it, the bikes and bikers that have been hiding from the winter have started coming out into the daylight again.

    Had one on thursday, i gave a cheeery wave sat there coverd in months of winter shite and he looked at me with 'Why don't you buy a proper bike' written all over his face, then wobbled off on his 2 yr old R6 with his matching romper suit. Twat.

    I don't know why but that really spoilt my afternoon. I have noticed it several times now i think about it, i have overtaken a couple of these sunshine warriors on the slow bends into the village ON THE DT FER CRISAKES. I got the nescafe wave the last time, why? Wasn't speeding or dangerous. :rolleyes:

    I can sympathise with keeping the bikes free of winter crud, my TDR won't see tarmac till were clear of the late winter filth but the high and mighty view got up my nose.

    Thats better :D

    Hey ppls. My name is mark, I have had my Ybr 125 for 2 months now and I live it. I am just looking for some inspiration for places to go. Any ideas ?

    Hey Mark, welcome to the forums. B)

    As far as inspiration goes, it would help alot if we knew where you were from ;)

    Hi from a total noob

    Hi Tomo, and welcome to the forum B)

    Get a DT125R. :P( this is a very biased opinion and should be taken as such)

    From what i hear the more economical bikes are the likes of the CG125, YBR125, CB125 Etc, but i don't think they will fit your size very well , I think your in the right area with a high up enduro style bike. There is the cruiser style bikes also, but i have never ridden one so can't really comment for size etc, A few members here own/have owned them so are able to comment with something useful i'm sure.

    IMO The DTs being 2-strokes will require a little more general maintenance than a 4-stroke like the WR. But will probably be cheaper when something goes wrong because they are a simpler machine and have less to go wrong/replace when it does. Also a 2-stoke will use slightly more fuel as they like to be revved high, well my DT does.

    I think you need to get out and try a few bikes for size and feel before making a decision.

    More Driving aids to come to motorbikes

    Didn't really have a good read before posting, but thought it looked interesting all the same.

    I have to agree with everything said, I'm against most of the ideas currently being tested.

    But I don't think its just bikers that need to worry. Alot of what is being tested by mira for bikes is already in use on some new cars, the auto braking feature when following a car too close, the radars for overtaking,reversing etc to name but 2. ( not to mention ABS, i wonder how many new drivers know how to brake hard properly without intervention)

    You only have too read about the cars currently being tested that have drove 4000miles(iirc) without the need for human interaction (i.e fully automated) to be worried. Its this vision that is going to cause bikes to be targeted even more, i can't imagine there is any place in a fully automated highway for bikes controlled by us mere humans.

    I must admit i do like the idea of this part.

    "We put a motor in the cheek pad of the helmet so if you do not notice the object it will vibrate and give you a tactile warning that there's something to the right or left,"

    Not so much for the road or general use, but it would be a great learning aide for beginners, especially if you up it too a shock instead of a vibration, for the reason that the times i follow bikes and scooters and you never see them perform a single lifesaver is becoming too frequent. A couple of electric shocks during the CBT/lessons would maybe change that. Maybe an adaptation for car drivers, that makes sure they check for bikes would be nice.

    On further thought, putting all this on cars maybe not be such a bad thing for bike awareness, in fact fully automate the lot of em, but leave my bike alone.

    DT125 2004 LED on Speedo above 60mph

    in Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes

    Posted

    thanks for the reply :). It is a led light actually on the speedo dial. There are no symbols next to it. Its not one of the warning lights either e.g. neutral, oil etc. I will try and get a picture :).

    Basically a led light inside the speedo directly above the 60mph marking on the speedo has come on. Do you think its a temperature light or a restrictor light because it is over the 60mph mark? The strange thing is is that this the first time it has come on in 3 years.

    thanks

    Its the engine overheat warning light. Check the coolant etc.
