Hey guys sorry aint been on here for a while just an update the bike is almost ready for the mot now the frame has been restamped by a friend who works in a bike garage I haven't actually seen it because he's took the bike away to do the work. The bike now has a new loom which me and the friend made from scratch, it has new lights new indicators and all that lol and also I've given it a nice new paintjob not the best but better than what the thieves did to it. Oh it's also had new fork seals and new tyres just really hoping I get away with the frame number does anyone know how thoroughly they actually check the number because even before it was stolen it was hard to read Cheers guys

Ok thanks buddy I'll have a look on there

Thanks for the advice mate I'm going to see what dvla say first and then I might try it myself I know a mate who's an mot tester so I'll get him to mot it if I do the restamping myself would any of you have a rough idea of how much a new wiring loom will cost me ? It's a bloody nightmare the people who stole it get off with nothing and i have to spend all this money getting it right

Cheers for the advice guys how would I go about prepping the area first and removing the grinding marks ?? I would try this I'm going to phone dvla Monday again and see if they can get me an apointment quicker instead of me having to write them a bloody letter if not I'll see how long I'll have to wait if it's too long I'll have a go myself thanks for the advice guys

yeah i will do mate. Ive been looking for another frame with a v5 but i cant seem to find any for sale

Hey guys i would do this but if I mess it up wouldn't it look really dodgy for the next mot ??

Just an update the Yamaha dealer is refusing to do the work now without a letter from dvla approving them to do it. Apparently he spoke to Vosa and they said don't restamp it without a letter which dvla wont give me. Dvla then told me I have to write a letter to my local dvla office and arrange an appointment to have someone look at it and reissue the vin and give me a new plate. There bloody useless so now I have to take my bike over 20 miles god knows how much this will cost

yeah I will do buddy I'm not too fussed about the value she a keeper and i don't want to see her go anytime soon

haha yeah now I'm back at college 5 days I'm hardly earning anything I can only work saturdays now Sunday is the hangover day haha !!

haha !!

yeah my mum said she would rather have my bike in the house than get nicked again. I'm doing automotive engineering its just all maths though not enough practical but it's quite fun

I would recommend going fire and theft at least i have a 92 dt 125 and I got nicked I was only 3rd party only and lost out big time the police finally recovered the bike but it's a bit of a state now tbh. Like what has already been said depends on where you live I live on a council estate so yeah haha

Can't bloody stand them I live in quite a well known area for being rough one of my neighbours had his 2012 husquvrna stolen last night I'm keeping my dt in my hallway at night mums not happy though !!

Thanks for the friendly welcomes guys I'm new to this forum things but yeah good idea I'll start a project section when I can finally get some money together to start it haha sucks being at college 5 days a week . Thanks if I get stuck I'll let you guys know I'll appreciate the help

They are amazing the engines are virtually bulletproof it still runs after being used and abused by chavs it was so bad I had mud stones and grass in my airfilter

Hey buddy I got told by dvla that because I still have the v5 and the police report to confirm it's identity I can contact my local Yamaha dealer and they should be able to restamp or reissue and new vin number to me. At the moment I'm still waiting for my local dealer to get back to me he said he would find out more info and let me know. So yeah I don't see it being a problem mate I'll let you know what they say

Thanks for the advice I will try that now

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone can help me. Basically I have a 1992 Yamaha dt 125 and it was stolen in April I just got the bike back yesterday but the thieves have ground off the vin and engine numbers and stripped all the lights is there anyway I can actually legally get my bike back on the road and get it through the mot I still have the v5 in my name. Sorry for the long post haha

Thankyou very much guys I'm hoping to get my dt back on the road it was in quite bad condition when I got it back
