January 19, 201114 yr Author Its the same on me dads Ts 250 he had a Stainless steel down pipe made for it as the original steel ones never last ! And thats the dt what iv been looking at its just finding one now ! Kind Regards David
January 19, 201114 yr Just my thaughts !!! If your heart set on getting a DT125 LC then thats sound,,,,,,might be a good investment. If you want the strongest DT ( my opinion only ) get the DT125 R from 98 to 03,,,,,it has the power valve and is a good strong bike that will last long time if ya mind it a bit. The choice is yours,,,,,,,,,Hope This Helps :D
January 19, 201114 yr Moderator Heres mine, not changed much in all those years up to 2003, except the PV which made them faster. (2004 saw a bodywork makeover more up to date). Lots and lots of these were sold so second hand parts are available, never really looked for DTLC's so dont know how many are around
January 19, 201114 yr Nice bike, how much of a difference does the powervalve make ? If your a heavyish lad like me then it makes a Big difference Fresh outa the grooming parlour Pat Mine needs a good aul cleaning
January 19, 201114 yr Moderator Im about 9 1/2 stone so i should fly on the standard one ! indeed you should,
January 20, 201114 yr DTLC's are thin on the ground, which will make sourcing parts for them difficult. Where as DTR parts are still available new from Yamaha. If you go for a DTR get one with a power valve if possible, not only are they easier to ride with one, they consume alot less fuel also.
January 20, 201114 yr Moderator I think the real answer is whichever one you chose, they are all ace providing you don't want to be valentino its a bike that will keep you smiling for years. Whichever one you choose providing you go in ready to look at a few to avoid the dud's you won't regret it. They are very well supported on here, probably more so than the bigger bikes.
January 28, 201114 yr Moderator Worth watching? might be a nice project and has V5 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130480067778&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

Upgraded forks, newer wheels, new rear shock. Engine transplant could be fun. Or just use the knoblies i have at the back of the garage and spank it over the quarry
January 28, 201114 yr Moderator and make a buggy for the lc engine. Speaking of wheels I'm having some rims chromed at the moment and BBQ paint does it again, I just love that stuff
January 28, 201114 yr Moderator and make a buggy for the lc engine. Speaking of wheels I'm having some rims chromed at the moment and BBQ paint does it again, I just love that stuff Hmmm, w-e-l-l after taking me to work since she was sorted the DT is not quite in the condition yours is, the exhaust rusted in record time with all the corrosive shit in the minus fucking lots session we had. Added to the new road they are building to replace the pokey country lane that means a couple of miles of the trip are coverd in mud too. It also means my jacket, lid, gloves, boots etc are also coverd in crap. Still nice to ride to work though. I have to admit to using the rangy the last 2 days though as full on snotty, sneezy man flu is far more bearable in heated seats than a motorcycle at 4am.
January 28, 201114 yr Moderator sadly I cant bear to ride mine in the salt anymore which is a bit ironic since that is what I bought it for all those years ago....ahh well the car's warmer Tell me your'e not letting the gianelli pipe rust
January 28, 201114 yr Moderator I'm going to need shares in high temperature paint at this rate, but i'm just about keeping it licked. It looks a lot worse than it is because the worst of it is just mud thats baked onto the paint and LOOKS like rust. Its the u bend and where the pipe meets the cyl that really suffers.
