Hi mate, Just finished this atge on my 2003 DTR. The back wheel off a DTX fits straight on and the front needs to be modified if your using DTX caliper and standard forks. Hope this helps.

Oh yes it will help. DT 125R 2005

Just a quick one, Has anybody ever increased the length of the spacer at the top of the front suspension legs to make the suspension stiffer. As using a thicker oil would only slower the rebound im thinking of inreasing the length of the top spacer with washers or a longer tube to harden the downward pressure, Anyone with any thoughts or tried this.

Hi all again, Ive been having a fiddle today trying to clear up my excessively smoking engine and got confused with as to whether my choke was on or off. Can somebody tell me when i lift my choke lever up is this on or off on a 2005 dt125.And if possible how many turns roughly from bottom should the mixture screw be at. Thanks in advance. Carl

Thanks for that,ill have a look in the morning.

Anybody

Hi again, Can anybody tell me the best way and easiest way to check or replace the oil in my front forks on my DT 125 as the suspension is vey soft and bottoms on grids etc. Can someone recommend a suitable oil to put in them,im 6ft and around 80kg so im not massive but dont want an oil that will make it to hard at the front end. Thanks for any help. Carl

Thanks for the welcome, I feel like ive known you years,lol. I thought so,it was just the bloke i bought it off said he has not done the CBT and he was the same age as me. Lets hope he learns otherwise befor the rossers catch up with him. Anyone got any ideas on the smoke and forks. Carl

Hi all,this is my 1st post as a new member so be gentle. Just come in from bringing home my new 2005 DT125. My idea is to sell my gilera 50cc moped after ive done my CBT and upgrade to my DT,this in itself brings a question. Can someone shine a light on this, ive been told i need my CBT before i can ride it which i believe to be true but just want to make sure,im 38 and passed my test when i was 17,it was only the guy i bought it off told me i dont need to pass it if im on L plates. Anyway just a few questions about my ride home. It seem very blue smokey from the exhaust as though its burning alot of 2 stroke oil,can i check/adjust this for the right mixture? Also the front forks seem very soft and bottom very easily from my own weight. I will probably find these answers when i buy the manual but you cant beat experiance in my opinion. Thanks in advance for any replies and hope i can be of assistance as my knowledge of my DT grows. Carl
