The Shiny Helmet Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Hi all, Newbie here ... first time here - feeling like a bit of an interloper, but here anyway... Hi guys! Passed my test last December on a very lovely XJ6, and have been riding a Kwakkaskaskanki ZZR600 ever since.. ... Ok - I'm here to ask questions, and seek a bit of help on behalf of an old Yamaha here ... ... Anybody looking? .. good! Always nice to be noticed! How the smeg do I re-register an old (1980) DT125E ?? I have an old one that use to be a lively member of the road-going community, and is now getting her puff back.... Any help would be greatly appreciated folks ... Cheers!
Moderator Airhead Posted September 24, 2012 Moderator Posted September 24, 2012 if your tank has 'YAHAMA' on it...it will be pretty unique Greetings and so this DT125E, what does it have registration number? V5?...just what?
blackhat250 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Welcome helmet" ,,, You can register it on Frame number, don"t try ans register on a number plate,[ any old plate you got with bike] As it may be wrong model , [ frame etc] and lead to a Q plate,
The Shiny Helmet Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 Aah! ... Cheers folks! thanks for the welcome! - Sorry I took a while to come back, but... well... I've been a tad busy! ..... (NO - I wasn't juist polishing the helmet... ) Right then... here we go.... Sadly, the tank doesn't actually say 'YAHAMA' on it - that was just a good way of getting your attention (Ok, so I almost got my brother with that question when he got his shiny new R6 a few years ago... ) Ok - the DT125E in question.. has V5, original number plate, old MoT's, all the old docs etc, but was off the road when the Government computerised the database, and so got a little bit... overlooked. Now, it seems, nobody has the DT125E listed anywhere! insurers all want it to be an 'MX' version, or somesuch variant, but nobody wants it to be what it is! .. the mechanic who's care, attention, blood, sweat, (hammer) and tears have just got it MoT'd again has suggested insuring it on a classic bike policy, but I'd rather just get it all up to date and keep things as original as possible! ... .. Hey Blackhat250 - nice collection of bikes on your list!
blackhat250 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Here"s one. most i"v seen are black/ red ,,,, http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/yamaha_dt_125_e_1975.php
Moderator Cynic Posted October 4, 2012 Moderator Posted October 4, 2012 They want to call it an mx because it is an mx. The mx indicates the single shock rear suspention. Does your engine frame numbers start 2A8?
