Hey guys, wanted to introduce myself, im Danijel (Daniel[J is silent]).

Anyway, im fairly new to dirtbikes, i had a 1990 Honda XR100R, loved that thing, i learned to ride on it. Unfortunately a couple months ago i let a friend borrow it while i was gone for a weekend, i cam back and it was in pieces, and burnt.. He said the air filter contacted the muffler, caught fire, and the whole bike went up. There was nothing salvageable or worth repairing..

Well a few days ago i traded a friend for his old dirtbike. I'm not sure of the year, neither is he, but it looks like an 84 or 85. Its Yamaha DT 125 Liquid Cooled.

Ive only seen it 1 time, in his garage. They havent rode it in about a month or so and when i tried kicking it over it seemed like there was no force/pressure in the kickstart. They said it has a problem with the clutch system as wen starts it jumps and doesnt want to shift gears. They said they're pretty sure its not the clutch so im thinking clutch cable. Ill be sure to post up more as i find out.

I havent recieved it yet, still trying to find a ride down there to get it and bring it up here.

Any help/tips/info is great and im not new to forums so i know how they work, no need to worry about problems from me.

Thanks ahead guys!
