Well said. Its been a while since ive been on here since some dirty b******** pinched me bike. But as you say manners cost nothing and can gain everything

Hi again folks Yet another problem on my DT 125 R.Im wanting to change the rear brake caliper piston and seals as it seems to be ceased. No matter wat i try i can not get the old piston out. Does any1 have any ideas of how i can get the piston out. Dont have a garage or anything so doin it in my back yard. Many thanks in advance Lee

Hi folks does any1 know the best place to get a mail order woodruff key for my 1989 dt 125 r. I can get them from the main dealers but its gonna take a week to get it. I have found 1 place but i dont know the dimensions of the woodruff that i need. Any 1 got any ideas???? Thanks in advance Lee

Thanks very much Vez. PPl on here are so great and very help full id be lost with out this site.

Sorry to keep asking silly questions folks but ive just filled my dt up with water after a complete restrip and rebuild to sort crank bearings out. When taking the r/h side casing off again for a diff problem i noticed it had water in it. Is there sum sort of rubber seal i need to put between the crank casing and main casing to to seal the water off from the oil ?????? I have used a gasket to join the casings. I bought a full gasket kit whilst rebuiling the engine and it comes with 3 rubber O shaped seals. A small black seal and 2 larger redish seals do i need to take my water pump off and use the black seal in the casing??? And can any1 tell me what the other redish seals are for please. MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL (IF ANY) REPLYS

Cheers Mate

Bit of a dumb question here but what would be the best engine oil to put in my 1989 dt 125 r i.e 10w30 20w40 ect Many thanks

Ive tried that also tried removing the caliper and putting it at a higher point as the air should rise to the highest point that didnt work either. Thanks

Hi Folks sorry if i sound a bit daft on here its probably cos i sumtimes am when it comes to bikes. I have a 1989 DTR125 that is currently used off road. Ive been trying to get my rear brake working. Have tried bleading it and got all the air out but still got no pressure on the pedal. i have checked the rear master cylinder and all seems no be ok i.e no split seals ect. Had the caliper off and the pads and disk are fine. The piston does not move when the caliper is off and i push the pedal so im thinking its something to do with that. The piston is pushed all the way back to the caliper and i cant seem to get it to move. Does any 1 have any ideas as to how i can get the piston out so i can check it and the seals. Thanks in advance
