[dt125lc mk1 fork seals and oil]

[dt125lc mk1 fork seals and oil]

yes jimmy, all sorted just need to make sure i get the right amount of oil in. i now got service manual and convert what i think into ml.

it says us  10.3 us oz now it does not say total or in each fork?   so if i got it right that is just under 305ml...?

[dt125lc mk1 fork seals and oil]

thank you to everyone, i pushed even harder with success, i do lots of searches before i bother anyone on here. i do try sort things myself.

thank you all, and dont suppose anyone knows the amount of oil in each fork?  after searching i see so so many different answers,

so i got to thinking it is just under 305ml.?  in each fork.. anyone confirm this? or correct amount.

thank you in advance

oh am i missing something, why does no one have a thank you button?? or i just cant see them.

[dt125lc mk1 fork seals and oil]

thank you jimmy and slice, iv'e tried pushing down on them, but i will try harder this time as i did not want to break anything as i did not know that is how it is done. thank you.

[dt125lc mk1 fork seals and oil]

i now just do not know how to get the top of the forks out? in picture 2?  

am i in the wrong place to get any answers?

[dt125lc mk1 fork seals and oil]

well i've managed to get the dust seals up, but in picture one the very tops, i don't have a clue what it takes to get into the top to fill the oil, 

or how to remove the fork part to get he oil seals out?  anyone?

[dt125lc mk1 fork seals and oil]

hello people, hope you can help me on some parts of the project im very slowly being able to do.

this is how to get the top off the top of the forks? no nut to undo? i want to change the oil and seals?

i've tried looking for the exact forks that someone has a video or pics on how to.but cannot find the same.

if anyone can share a link they know about or help me out here. would really appreciate it.

here is pictures off the top part i cannot see how to get out??

also the seal i need to remove. also all the horrid oil that came out..

 

[dt125lc old project frame /engine numbers]

hi, yes that's the dt125lc 1982 i thought i had..  not sure what kind of story  how a ty250 1975 model can be mixed up.

but after doing some digging around. all the ty250 numbers i was seeing were the same or not very close to my frame and engine number,,,

so still very confused...

[dt125lc old project frame /engine numbers]

and wow... just got another email from motorcyclesspareparts giving parts catalog below..???

 

 

Dear Mr(s) Barber,

 

Than you for your reply.

 

Please find the spare parts catalog attached.

 

 

Kind regards, Mit Freundlichen Grußen, Met vriendelijke groeten,

 

Frank Hazekamp

thing is , i dont know a lot about bikes, but just to look at a ty250 and a dt125 there is massive difference in the looks.

my engine has 10v on it. both numbers on frame and engine are proper, clean , nothing has been etched off..

im also re doing the swing bar on the bike.. how can this all be??

[dt125lc old project frame /engine numbers]

well now i'm even more confused... just got an email from yamaha customer service.

now i know it is not a 1975 ty250 just by looking at the bike when i 1st got it.

im actually re doing the petrol tank at the moment..here is there email...

any thoughts anyone.?? really thought i would get some real answers..if they dont know then no one wll surely..

 

Good Morning,

 

Thank you for your enquiry, unfortunately due to the age the information is very limited.

 

From the number you have supplied 493-000829 I can advise the machine is a 1975 model year TY250.

 

The machine would have originally been a trials machine (off road) and is not likely to be road registered.

 

I can advise older machines do not have a 17 digit VIN as they only came out in the 2000’s.

[dt125lc old project frame /engine numbers]

hello, thanks for your reply, i've triple checked the frame numbers, and there does seem to be no more prefix before the 493 or after.

i thought they brought the 17 vin  in 1981. i read somewhere. i've been reading and reading looking searching. seeing so much information, a lot of people saying different things.

i've ended up knowing less information than i started with. lol . i thought very strange not to have 1 letter in the first 3 digits...

[dt125lc old project frame /engine numbers]

hello all, i have been reading and reading tons on this subject, only seeing 9 digit numbers with a letter in them.

now on my what i think is a mk1 1982 dt125lc   has this 9 digit on frame  493-000829   and on engine has 000 829

now when i have been searching, and others having same only 9 digits , they have at least one letter in this.

anyone able to give me any info on this bike? did it ever start as a road legal bike, as this was bought as a off road bike 7 years ago.

only just got back to this project, so any help getting the full information on this would be great.

i know nothing much about bikes, did they sell off road bikes in 82? stupid question i expect.

hope you all can help... justin

[hello to all]

hello, just popping in to say hello to everyone. i have an old 1982 dt125lc project i started 7 years ago.

so thought i would join here to get back on project after all these years. i'm a member of few different forums.

none of which are bike related. i hope i can read lots here and hope to learn, also be nice to help others if possible.

hope to have the time to get on here when i can.
