olly-1987 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Hi there to all, I have recently purchased a butt loads of DT125 parts and are currently in the process of trying to rebuild one. I have a Honda CRM 250 as well (I know most of you will probably condemn me for this lol!). Looking forward to getting to know some of you. Edit: I am having trouble identifying the year of the two engines that I have bought, if anyone knows a way of doing this I would be much appreciative if they could share their secret . I have spent hours trawling the internet this morning!
slice Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Hi Olly Welcome to the YOC, if it has 2 wheels and an engine your welcome here mate, don't matter what the badge says they are all the same, most of us have had Hondas at one time or another and probably found that they are good bikes both to own and ride same as the Yams. Can't help with your numbering problem tho, have you tried Yamaha UK to see if they might have your details? Otherwise add the details to your message and see if one of our resident guru's can perhaps give some advice on what you might have, lot's of DT experts on here 2 strokers are some peoples speciality.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted January 25, 2014 Moderator Posted January 25, 2014 Hi and welcome to the forum. Start a new thread in the workshop and post up the beginning of the 2 engine numbers leaving the last 3 digits of each as ***.
wild foamy Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Whey! another local!, im just up the road from you at Cosford airbase ive got a DT50 nearing the end of its rebuild, so feel free to ask if you need any info . just for the record, nothing wrong with Hondas.
blackhat250 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Hi olly" another DT fan ,,,, get that thread started ,till we identify it..
olly-1987 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Thank's so much for the welcome guy's, upon inspection of the bike I have come to realise that the previous owner was a moron. I don't think it has had a service for years and I'm surprised it's not seized. It was pretty down on power when I took it apart. The oil was milky and grey, with metal flakes in it. It is a bit disheartening as I don't have the time or money to re-build both the Yamaha motor and my Honda. I have opted to choose the Honda as it's more suited to my size. I may decide to give this another go in a few months, maybe as a project next winter. It's a shame as I am impressed with the reception I have had here and was looking forward to building myself a little supermoto commuter. Thanks again guy's. Maybe I will be back in the summer if I persuade myself to buy an R1.
