Hello Martle, The only 2 things i could suggest are a duff pump (stuck open internally somehow) or there is a slight leak somewhere ? Be careful though becuase if its running very rich on 2 stroke oil it could lean out the mixture alot and cause a big hole in places you dont want one(piston) Cheers

To be honest its really annoyed me to how much this chap has messed about with this bike, There seems to be one hell of a mismatch of parts from a random bucket Ill give my Yamaha dealer a ring and see how much they want for the plastics because im not happy at all with how these look and fit Out of curiosity will i need the tank ? Or is the tank the same from the older model to new ? And fair play bud that came up really nice looks like alot of time and money has gone into your dt Cheers

Ah ok. Good luck

Yes does sound that way im afraid, Could you take it off and get it tested by your local shop ?

Hello, Does all of your other electrics work ? Lights etc ? Sounds as if theres no power in the system at all ?? No power no power valve Cheers Ryan

I rather hope the frame numbers dont cause a problem but im sure with a bit of talking he will understand and yes ive seen that hydro dip. Is it expensive ? and how durable is it ? has any one had any experience I think i would love to get the new style plastics and i suppose id need tank aswell. I put the plastics on the bike today and to be honest im not overly happy with the way they fit and look. For example the front headlight cowl has been cut down to fit the front mudguard and it all looks very crude. Ive managed to sort all of the loom out. Was a bit of a bi**h to get it wired to the DTR loom but with a bit of a chop here and there its done. Where would i get all of the required plastics ? I bet yamaha would charge a bomb ??

Hello all and thank you for the replies. Its crazy how much this bike has been modified in the past. Im pretty certain the bike is fully legal i managed to get the last for numbers off the frame after alot of cleaning with scotch brite and they match the numbers on the logbook i received but the problem is ive got a good feeling that the mot tester will be funny about it as you cant read it you can only just about see its there. So by the sounds of what youve said the frame has been modded to suit all of the old dtr style plastics tanks oil bottles and ecus. The wiring loom and ecu i have is from a dtr as well and im currently having problems getting it all wired up properly. I do have a haynes manual now so i have all of the wiring diagrams. Also does anyone have a picture of the newer style headlight. and yes i did see on the rear shock that it was stamped 03.xx.xx and i found that abit wierd And what do you lot think about what to do with the plastics ? I was thinking about having them vinyl wrapped but ive been quoted 230 for all plastics and tank which i thought was a bit sharp. What do you lot think is best to do to them to make them look nice ? Cheers Ryan

Hello all ive just posted my build thread In the project section, Nice way to show you all what ive been up to and thankyou all for the welcomes Ryan

Now this is the thread up to date. I realised the loom i have got is from an earlier model of dt and i also have the early clocks. Doesnt sound to bad until you realise nothing connects to anything This is the thread up to now Today i managed to get the engine started, I posted a question in the garage section about the wiring of the new engine to old loom but as ive got it working now ill update that and do a quick write up on how i did it. I wont yet as i haven't tested any of the electrics side (charging, Lights etc) Sorry for any spelling mistakes I hope you enjoyed viewing Ryan

Finally forks back together with new seals and brake on Upgraded to the gold chain Just need to get my bolts to replace those nasty looking brown ones holding the back sprocket

At this stage it went very downhill for me as i went to put the front brake caliper on i realised that the supermoto brembo brake was a totally different mount to the dtrs forks. Luckily i did have the forks but they were very battered and bruised and i felt as if id wasted my time and money painting the forks So the dtx were pulled from the corner and got stripped for new seals I thought as they were coming right down to just metal it would be best to powdercoat them gloss black rather than aerosol spray them so off came the original paint My layout of all of the forks stripped This is the part of the dtx forks which gave me bigggg problems the bottom bolt (The big allen key) would not come loose as it was spinning internally (The reason i stripped the other forks was to see what was actually spinning. In the DTR forks they gave you a groove to put a bolt (well i used rear wheel bar) in the dtx they gave you nothing but a rounded surface to hold DTR damper rod grooves I tried taking the big chunk which was missing out of the DTX forks but i didnt want to sand to much as to weaken the structure

The supermoto wheels i purchased. I had basically purchased all of the parts off a dtx which was being broken for 350 which i didnt think was a bad deal. Most of it was very tatty and not looked after but i dont mind that After id finished painting my fork legs i then put them back on the bike When i recieved my wheels back from the tyre shop i chucked them on

I then had the 2 pieces of subframe done and the swingarm (As i work as a powder coat i always have it on tap ) Put the little bits and bobs on while i was waiting for various other bits Engine sat there in all its sorrow. Id sent the bits of to be professionally polished after i realise my attempt at metal polishing wasnt so good My box of various painted bits Engine when i came back and i had reassembled

I also had a go at polishing the outside of the barrel and the yokes I put the engine back together but i was soon to realise i wasnt happy at all with the way it looked I then painted both of the brake calipers Vauxhall arden blue.... I dislike vauxhals in general but my god they do a nice blue

I then stripped off the top end of the engine and clutch cover to check it all out While i did this i had my first real attempt at polishing metal

I have dont alot more but apparently i have posted more images than i am allowed to ??

Hello and welcome to my build thread of my DT125 Ive actually jumped in a little late to be putting this up as the project is close to being finished as in a good day on her and shell be done now Right the bike when i first bought it The first thing i noticed which i am still very curious about is what was ground off the frame under the tank ? The frame is a 2004 Whatever it was it looks like he was very hasty to get rid of it as hed also cut into the oil tank abit. Hopefully wasnt much important if he thought he didnt need it Second of all i thought i best check out the frame number as you couldnt really see it under the powder coat. Which in fairness was all still very nice in the visible areas. I had a look of a scare when i couldnt find it But now i have found it its still pretty much unreadable from the shot blasting Will this cause problems with the MOT ? I proceeded to undo all the work of the previous owner and start from fresh so i stripped it down to the frame

That was just a test to see if my image appears Success

Hello, Ive spent the day sorting it out and ive got it started very good start Ill spend tomorrow now testing the electrics to see if it is actually giving out voltage to the right places Ill do a quick write up when its all finished to show how i did it just in case anyone in the future is going to fit a new style engine to an old bike Cheers Ryan

Sorry just read the FAQ (stuuupidd) Heres an image if it works https://www.dropbox.com/sc/6lu5llvklaa91d9/AAAl6P20hFrOScY8kBQAOXD7a

Also how do i put pictures in the post ? Do i have to upload them to a different site the Link them to the thread ? Cheers Ryan

Hello all i would just like to say hello. Just joined the yamaha owners club to hopefully help people out and get some hope in return I am currently building a DT125 RE to DTR125X with all the plastics from a DTR125 (including clocks) I know a bit of a strange build. I will hopefully be putting a build thread up of the bike as soon as i can. I have made a post about wiring as im having a little trouble in the workshop section, Hopefully to get some advice Cheers Ryan

And also i am very sorry to barge in straight to a question, I will do a little build thread shortly. I have a reasonable amount of knowledge about bikes having restored and owned alot of so i will be very happy to contribute to the community. Cheers and have a good en Ryan

Hello, This is my first post so please watch out for the newbie mistakes Basically i am in the middle of a project and have hit a bit of a stop, As i am fitting a new style engine to an old wiring loom i need some in into wiring them together (Reason being i have gone away with starter motor and in the case to make it all seem right i am going away with the wiring in which goes with it), All the bolts were snapped in the starter motor housing so i decided rather than to strip the engine to drill and tap i would fit a kick start. and also go away with the starter motor switch. also i much prefer the old style clocks with rev counter. Basically ive got the new style stator plate and it seems to have totally different wiring to the old stator. I could fit the old style stator but it will recuire me going away with the dremel to take some lugs off as the crank casing is machined differently which i found out today. On the old style stator and on the loom i have; White blue White red These are in one connection block (going to CDI) Yellow red(Going to light switch) White(going to regulator) Black(I think recifier) Blue(Neutrel Relay) The other connection block Red Black Green White In a connection block going to CDI This all fits my loom perfectly Now on the new style engine i have Blue(single bullet end) White Blue Red Blue White White White |Blue Green Green White Red Black Basically what im asking for is a clear wiring diagram for the DT125RE Or some advice on wiring these together Do you Think it would be easier to Go away with dremel or Wire into my loom ? Thanks in advanced for any advice Ryan
