  1. been having some trouble with my aerox100 indicator switch when i push the button to the right the indicator flashes but if i push the buttom to the left nothing happens the indicator light dont come on the dials nor do the indocators flash,does anyone know what might be wrong?could it jsut need takin apart and adjusting inside?

    May just be some crap in the switch. Strip it and examine/clean it. It's what i would do.

  2. Lol Cheers Drewpy :P

    Good developments anyway!! The chap rang me back with the frame number and he's also popping into DVLA swansea on thursday

    as he deals with bikes a fair old bit with buying and selling, some with books some without, which seems fair... But he did say he will

    sort the V5 out for sure!

    Anyway I just got off of the phone from Yamaha and I'm ever so slightly confused now... as that bike was first registered in 1989!!

    So in a way I am even more pleased as it turns out the bike is a lot older than first thought!! Does raise some minor concerns as

    the previous owner had no idea that it was a 1989 model lol.

    However they also said that they could (for a £40 charge). Send me a proof of manufacture slip with the original registration number!

    So It would make it even easier if the log book does not appear (I think it will).

    Result! and one very happy 1989 DT 125 owner!! :D

    Good to hear things are sounding positive. keep us informed B)

  3. Hey and welcome to the forum.

    Nice looking DT :thumb:

    When i had my frame powder coated at Triple-s (proper bike coaters and far from numpties) the coating was so thick you couldn't read the frame number easily, personally i preferred it that way to having a coating too thin.

  4. A friend of mine had an aerox, and was not impressed with the power, so he bolted on a 70cc kit, bigger carb, differant rollers, exhaust and a performance filter. have a look into this

    there was a noticable gain in power!

    And at a guess a noticeable shortening in the life expectancy, as is the case usually when getting more power from a scoot/bike. But given that scooters are more or less designed as disposable machines (3-4 year life expectancy??) then it is going to have a greater effect than tunning a bigger cc machine IMO.

  5. thanks for the help :)

    also i believe that i have to inform dvla of any colour change of the bike

    but i am confused, what if i had my bike with black fairings but white tank and mudguard

    what colour do i need to have my v5 changed to? what would be the main and secondary colour?

    thanks

    Jake

    That sounds like a tricky area to me. maybe phone the DVLA and ask them, probably the safest bet. Do post any info you find though because i would like to know too :)

  6. hi there, anyone know of any websites that sell dt125re plastics and custom graphic kits?

    any help will be much appreciated

    thanks

    Jake

    Get the feeling you have asked this before, i may be wrong though :unsure:

    Graphics http://www.ddgraphics.co.uk/index.php/cPath/2_24?osCsid=0a13c914fa2448971613290617b7cf82 D&D

    Plastics http://www.yamahascooterspares.co.uk/spares/modelImage.asp?modelID=9029 AJSutton

    Any Yamaha dealer will probably be cheaper than AJSuttons, i know 100% that Manchester Extreme are because i bought some for my bike last year, but they don't show prices on the internet, you have to phone and order them, http://www.manchesterxtreme.co.uk/

  7. idn men its all trial n error for me :) just took the dirty blunt edges off n smoothened dem down as best i could

    Inlet ports on 2-strokes are supposed to have a fine dimpled surface, much like a golf ball, which traps a thin layer or air on the surface which allows the air/fuel mixture to pass over it alot faster than it would with a smooth polished surface.

  8. I wouldnt recommend a pod syle filter if thats what you are considering.

    More trouble than they're worth getting it set up right. ;)

    DTR's do not like K&N's. A pipercross or similar original foam style one works better IME.

    And what do you mean by "flowed the inlet" ?

  9. Mine has been pretty good, was originally a brunette but the sun does damage things and so some touching up is needed to remove the greyer patches from the trim so has some red go faster stripes added in and it does have some extra padding for those long distance rides, getting wet or cold seems to be a real problem though now.

    I have had little trouble otherwise. It has been central to the creation of two next gen models for the future.

    :lol::lol:
