Dean_DT Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Ok so the old girl failed the mot today on a couple bits, including the rear shock having sod all damping (thought it was bit soft!) and the bearing at the bottom having excessive play. Been looking for a replacement, but cant get a definative answer on whether the later DT125RE shock fits? loads on ebay for pennies, and they look identical, but not sure if its gonna fit and work right. Anyone know of any other bikes that share the DT125R's rear shock, or that will bolt straight on? not interested in changing the swingarm etc unless i absolutely have to!
funkymunkydavid Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 yer they all fit fella. dt/r,dt/re and even the dt/x (only the front forks,wheels and brakes changed on the x) only difference on the newer ones is that the bearing on the bottom was replaced with headed inserts (cheaper to produce :@) ) good luck with it!
Dean_DT Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 Had a bit of luck with selling a motor i was about to weigh in, so treated myself to the correct shock, was pricey, but will be worth it!
