    yamaha dt125lc2 unseized ?,,its self ?

    in The Bar

    Posted

    right so a few months ago now my dt seized up on me in the fields doing a little greenlaning, the throttle went rearly heavy and cut out, the kick was really hard to kick, like was really stiff, it started but shortyl died and was jammed stuck,??(the kick start) but could get it back in neutral no problem, after strippin it down i then tried takiin the engine out the frame but the swinagrm pivot bar was jammed, so i thought id jus strip the head and barrell of while i gave the bolt a good long soakin, barrell came of really nice wasnt stuck at all, then came the wacks wit the hammer and flametorch, unsuccesful was the out come :'[, and then for some reason i grabbed hold of the flywheel and it moved ever so slighlty, with a little more twist it jus freed off, pulled out the kick start and its free just like before,,,thinkin something gave out got jammed and then my attempts of thumping f**k outta that bolt, has knocked loose the debris,? but stil cant remove tht bolt so cant strip it down for furhter work?.....

    any clues or theories to what has happened or what went wrong to start with ?

    thanks in advance

    lol, the mowhark comment made me laugh, n dnt worry there not on there now, managed to get a set of dt vinyls from a bike shop in leicester, and speed wise its not tht bad when i took this foto in march just before its mot, it had the wrong sprockets but after a little general knowledge from airhead and gt the right sprockets its much better,,cant fault the old girl really, leaves other bikes standi, im not gunna claim it does a 100mph like ppl have said about there dts, but id say top end around 75 summin like that, and for bein faster than ur 175 i guess its dwn to opinion,,, thinkin of findin an dt125mx 4 my nxt project

    any ideas on how to upload a picture to this post as i want to show you all my finished project, and im not sure if my regulator is both a rectifier aswell. when i took my battery out earlier it had like a white powder on the side of the battery and on the housing,, thought it was some kind of wear from vibrations ??

    thanks for the suggestions everyone

    ps ive checked to voltage before nd it said 20 volts, my mate said tht was normal as 12 would go where its needed and the rest to the battery

    so i finished my yamaha dt125lc2 project back in march, and all is good, but in may i noticed my bulbs kept blowing after a little detective work i cam up trumps, as it ws the summer months it never really bothered me and the problem slipped to the back of my mind, but now the summer months have come to an ebrupt end, i think now the problem needs to be sorted once and for all ,,

    i stripped my plastics to view my battery, and noticed the earth had come loose and disconnectedm itself. after amending tht problem, i went for a spin up the road and all was well till i opened her up and again like many times before my bulbs blew, first the normal beam then the highbeam,,im coming to the end off my wits with this bike and will consider selling it if i cnt fix it soon as catchin the bus and being stuck in traffic all the time is not fun,,especially when i use to laugh at people on buses as i blasted pass, even more so when they were stuck in traffic,

    so people any ideas

    in advance wiring to me is a no go so lamens terms would be much apprecitaed lol
