ok, so apparently the Mk1 are 6V but the Mk3 are 12V.

hey guys, Anyone have idea about where I can get hold of a speedo drive for a DT125 LCMk3? I've tried ebay, wemoto and a few local places with no lucky. cheers!

hey guys, does anyone know what the voltage of the battery for a DT125 LCMk3 is meant to be? cheers!

hey, Somehow the casing for the speedo gearbox on the front wheel has cracked and split open. Any ideas about repair/replacement? oh, the bike is a DT125 LC Mk3. cheers!

hey guys, Does anybody have any personal experience with Marushin helmets? I know the Tiger and Samurai models have 5* SHARP ratings but haven't found any reviews online, so was wondering if they're any good. cheers!

yeah - does anyone happen to have a copy of the big book of kit? cheers.

hey Jim, I think the links above have pretty much covered everything - will let you know if anything specific comes up. cheers everyone.

cheers guys - you've been really helpful. think im gonna go with a Marushin (Tiger or Samurai) - they're ACU gold and have a 5* sharp rating. plus they're in my price range, which is always a bonus.

you know what? ignore that - i just pulled my finger out of my arse: http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosacorp/repository...0(VT%2040M).pdf http://www.ukmot.com/bike_index.asp

hey, Does anyone know where I can find detailed info about the MOT for bikes in the UK? Ideally some sort of checklist. cheers!

cheers man - that looks useful - I'll have a read through tomorrow.

hey, I'm new to motorbiking and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good websites that discuss/review motorbike clothing and/or helmets - particularly in terms of protective ability. Also, in particular, any advise on helmets is welcome. cheers!

No worries - I've found one. Cheers.

hey, So I've got an '87 DT125 LC MkIII and I need to find a new indicator relay. The Haynes manual lists the part as: manufacturer Nippondenso Model 10V Wattage 21W x 2 + 3W But I can't find them anywhere (ebay, official website, some parts dealers). Anybody know what a suitable alternative would be? Cheers!

so the plunger isn't was fine as we'd already looked at it, but turns out that one of the connections was loose - probably should've looked at that sooner . Anyway, It's all sorted now. Cheers!

yeah, already checked and WD40-ed the sidestand switch and it seems fine but I'll try shorting it out and see how that goes...

cheers for the quick reply!! :-)

hey, I just bought my first bike ('87 DT125 LC Mk3) and it was running fine for the first few weeks, but then I was away on holiday and when I came back it was having problems. Specifically, the engine starts fine in neutral but as soon as you move into gear, it cuts out. It definately seems to just cut out rather than stall because the bike doesn't lurch forward or anything so it doesn't obivously seem like a clutch problem (at least to me ). Any thoughts on what I should check? I know there are various safety cut-off switches (eg side stand) so maybe one of these is malfunctioning? But I wasn't sure if these switches cutoff the engine when it's in gear or just stop it from starting altogether? I should say that I'm still pretty new to bikes and am still finding my way around so feel free to be as basic as you like. cheers!

hey, Just got my first bike (DT125 for learning) but it doesn't have a valid MOT and I just wanted to ask if anyone knows what the deal is with legal tyres? Speficially are the types in the pictures legal? cheers!
