Hi doing a project with me son trying to get him on the road we have a dt125x 2009, the front suspension

Is shot so wanting to replace it question is would a set of dt125r forks fit they have same spec 270mm travel

41mm dia, as a set for the 125x is £500 any help with this question would be great,already asked this question in bar sorry about that did not know there was a tekky section

Cheers Jon

Hi jon, not sure NEV would know but we dont see him nowadays, I seem to think though that the forks use different disk calipers...like the supermoto has a brembo and a bigger disk ??

Hi Airhead, I have a horrible feeling you are right I still have the forks might be worth pricing for new top section

cheers for replying

Jon

you havent really explained what is wrong with your forks jon...what exactly is 'shot' ?

The bike was crashed into some air bails on TT course,top stanchions have bent at bottom yoke,one has split the other is very bent

Might be worth just getting the forks fixed bike only has 958 miles on it

Did you price new stanchions (chrome tubes ) ? They can be repaired up to a point , but if they are creased or split they are scrap . You could try to get a half decent second hand set and have 'em rolled and rechromed but it all takes time . Best o' luck .

If the forks are that bent then you want to check the triple clamps as well mainly the lower.Lots of companys on the net that do repro tubes so you could reuse all the other parts( spring top cap,lower leg's )

Holy crap a quick flea bay and walla here you go cheap as pie 45 bucks complete http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=yamaha+fork+stanchions&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xyamaha+dt125r+fork+stanchions&_nkw=yamaha+dt125r+fork+stanchions&_sacat=0

Bingo !!

Thanks guys never even gave a thought of buying dt125r forks and pulling stanchions to fix my existing

Cheers for all your help

Thanks Airhead found a pair of new stanchions specifically for the dt125x for £200 comes with oil and seals,should be able to use

Springs and other bits from broken stanchions

Cheers for everyone's help on this

Just for reference, I used DTR fork stanchions in my DTX forks. They are exactly the same (The DTX fork stanchions were very poorly chromed and had rusted)

There are a few changes inside the fork however

Have a look at my build project if you are interested in seeing them in pieces

Its in the projects section (DTR,DTRE,DTX merge)

All the best
