Jsy_zac Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Hey ppl I got a dt125r 1991 and every time I ride it I have coolant coming out on to my swing arm I have just had my head and base gaskets done and I was just wondering if anyone knew what it could be I was thinking my self the thermostat Thanks Zac
Moderator Airhead Posted October 30, 2011 Moderator Posted October 30, 2011 head gasket again, perhaps the old residue wasnt cleaned properly ...or if the bike was ridden to long when the old one failed it could have warped the head and so would require skimming
Jsy_zac Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 Well I put it in the shop to get the work done and they said every thing looked fine but do you think it would be the thermerstat ?
Moderator Airhead Posted October 30, 2011 Moderator Posted October 30, 2011 no its the head gasket, hope they didnt use one of those cheap nasty all metal pattern ones that have no rubberised coating
Jsy_zac Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 I think that could be the case then but where would you get one of the other ones from ?
Moderator Airhead Posted October 30, 2011 Moderator Posted October 30, 2011 from yamaha of course but athena make good ones too. PJME sell them but stay clear of the shit budget ones http://www.pjme.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2epjme%2eco%2euk%2fcgi%2dbin%2fss000001%2epl%3fSS%3ddt125r%26PR%3d%2d1%26TB%3dA%26SHOP%3d&WD=dt125r&SHOP=%20&PN=Yamaha_DT125R_Engine_Parts_Top_End%2ehtml%23a2757#a2757
