NickHTips Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Hey all obviously I'm new to this forum been riding Yamaha for years I've currently got a DT125re but she's not well at the moment the recovery guy dropped it off the flatbed.. I've got a few pictures from just before that tho n il happily upload them if I figure out how
NickHTips Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks blackhat the dep expansion really makes a difference
Sacha Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Nice looking bike. Something happen to it then? Welcome aboard!
NickHTips Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah I run with a slightly slack chain for when I go motocross and it happened to come loose wrap around the rear sprocket and bend a few links .. Couldn't get the f'er free so the bike wouldn't roll lol

NickHTips Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks guys! And yeah I was shouting a bit more than oh damn tho haha 1
welshwan Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Welcome! That's a nice looking DT you have there! IF the chain came off on the road, you are really lucky it didn't come off while you were bouncing about in the mud. lol Hopefully an easy job to fix!
NickHTips Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 Haha I don't mind coming off on the mud.. It's an easy fix I've ordered a new renthal front and rear sprocket with a chain.. The damage they did from dropping it off the truck tho isn't tho
welshwan Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 ahh sorry, i meant that it was lucky the chain didn't bounce off the sprocket whilst on the muddy stuff. What damage have they done mate? and will they be paying for it? i'm guessing the bars are fucked?
NickHTips Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Actually the bar survived.. Front headlight housing, front brake lever, right fairings, crushed expansion chamber, chunk out of the crankcase cover and the bleeder valve got sheared off the rear calliper
dt502001 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Welcome ,,better fit a small tool box/bag to the bike so the dip shits dont get the chance to wreck your bike over a small fix again.
