raschkadt125 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Love new forums, so much info. I bought a dt125 about 10 years ago from a swap meet. Ran great for 3 days then siezed up. Ten years later still bugs me to this day sooo...I got 300 dollars into it now so whats another 200 and have a rebuilt motor right. Well getting everything togeather today I realized im missing a lot of parts. I have the cylinder but no head or bolts. water got into motor and rod and crank are a little rusty now. I got them moving and realixe I either need a new crank, to have a clean surface for new rod bearrings, or can I just replace a pin not sure how they come apart. I found new pistons used heads and such off of ebay, and it is now that I realize that there are different dt125's and am a little unsure what i have. Im sure its a dt125 but its painted different and has a mono shock differnt bars and such, it is striped of all road worthy stuff. I got no title and never planed on driving on road and still dont. Is there any options as putting a 175cc motor on it or using those internals and make a stroker( or use a 175cc motor with a 125cc head) ? is should i go stock or since im into it is ther performace upgrades to do? any info on vin number identificatioin on frame motor or ? need help making sure im buying right parts. Oh and I live in wisconsin so if anyone is close with some parts would be awsome. Hope to hear from you guys and exchange ideas and knowledge.

raschkadt125 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 good thing i love motors, atleast its not a 4 stroke. I love dooing the teediest work, its always nice to know the bike inside and out anyways. I build chevy small and big blocks all the time so a little 2 stroke is accually a treat. Thanx for the support guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
