John just did his and as long as you don't run into the same problem of the bearing seperating leaving the outer race it's a easy job You need a long punch to drive the bearing out from the oppsite side,work around the bearing so it comes out straight/even. When installing use a socket the same size as the outer race,so not to dammage the seal

Hey Grouch Maybe they read this forum and realised you're a cash cow

Hi guys just purchased a dt 125 sm 06, and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction as to where I can source the original graphics, previous owner strip the bike and with a view to re spay but never got round to it so the bike looks a bit tatty, I am in the process of prepping the panels for the final coat of color and ideally would like to get the original graphics back on. Your help with this is greatly appreciated

Many do not deserve contempt... just the ones that do You have to use your judgement as to whether or not they will be receptive to having the myths busted. A few facts usually do it. I would say, though, that almost all of us get into biking (regardless of when we actually get to ride) when we're full of passion about it and have no preconceptions ourselves. So to have some ignorant random come up and try to piss all over it, uninvited...In most cirlcles of society, that's just asking for a head-kicking and in many of these circles that's what they get. Who the fuck are they to go round dealing judgement? White van men, women drivers, boy racers, ped boys, old people, foreigners, artics, taxis... you name it, everyone out on the road is a twat. We're just about the only ones who stand together and defend ourselves... we just happen to look cool at the same time!

one like this is it someone had it on the VJMC stand at the bristol classic show last month here is their forum http://www.vjmc-tb.co.uk/forum/index.php

Put the bike on it's centre stand and grip the wheel at opposite ends move it sideways to see if there is any movement. To replace the bearings, remove the wheel, unbolt the sprocket and disk. Once they are removed check to see if there are any circlips holding the bearings/dust covers in place. Remove them if necessary and placing the wheel on a flat surface and using a drift (I have used an extension piece from a socket set) put it through one bearing and knock out the opposite one from the inside. Once thats done turn the wheel over and knock out the other one. Look out for any spacers within the wheel hub and remember to refit. If you stick the new bearings in the freezer overnight, it will make it slightly easier to refit. To fit the new bearing, place it squarely on the opening and using either a suitable sized socket, or the old bearing, gently tap the new bearing into place, ensuring it stays square will ease the fit. I use a clockface method i.e 12-6-9-3. Keep tapping it in until it hits home (there will be a stop).Turn the wheel over and remembering to fit any spacer fit the other bearing in the same way. I've probably made it sound harder than it is, and it should only take between 1 and 2 hours of your time. You probably wont need it but I take photos of each step and place all components in order to help the rebuild. Whilst the wheel is off, have a look at the brake pads and fit new ones if necessary.
