Dtboy85 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hi, Im new to this site so i thought i would introduce myself and what im doing. I recently brought a DT125 used off road and i would like to put it back on the road and renovate it to a good condition. if there is anyone out there who could point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated. I am an electrical/mechanical engineer so i feel confident in my abilities ( i've just never worked on a bike before!). The bike has no frame no's as it was stolen/recovered (I have the receipts of my proof of purchase) and it is in progress to go on a q plate with DVLA V55/5 (so it is Legit!). as soon as i figure out how to put pictures on here could someone please help me identify the actual model number? the engine i beleive is a 4BL type (thats all the information i have). has anyone else restored a DT before and if so could you let me know what i have let myself in for. Thanks, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted June 26, 2012 Moderator Share Posted June 26, 2012 I dont like the sound of no frame # how can you put it on the road without one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtboy85 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 HI Thanks Mark i'll check that out. Airhead - I phoned the DVLA and they said i need to fill out a V55/5 then take the bike down there for marking which i can then get MOT'ed and insured against, they will only then issue me new documentation on a q plate. that is what the chap from the DVLA told me. I can assure you it is all legit ( otherwise i wouldnt have phoned the DVLA ). If I am missing anything important or have got the wrong end of the stick please let me know.
