Wow, this is the tread I was looking for. I`ve done Dt 50 (air cooled) to Dt 80 (liquid cooled) conversion... and it is quite simple if you have 2 motorcycles. To be more correct, I`ve fit a RD 80 engine in my DT 50. RD80 and DT 80 LC are the same machine, diference is only in cooler. If anyone need my help, let me know. I can post images from DT 50 with 80 cc engine. Also, i`m looking for kick start shaft with spring and sprocket for RD/DT 80.

You can try here...

I called local dealer, but Macedonia is Macedonia.... As answer I got: We can find you shaft with sprocket and spring, but you need to pay in advance. Price was around 130 euros, and also they were not 100% shure if the part wich will arive, will fit to my engine. Will someone pay 130 euros for part wich might be correct one? I`d rather not. Also the price is very unreal, it is almost 1/4 of entire bike value. If anyone has the part, please contact me.

Yes, but take a look how much rear end is unstable while is "dragging" trough corners... very easy can go out of track, or fail from motorcycle.

Country/Regional threads NO Maybee new sub for this users, so they can organise rides, workshop etc...

I do not think that this can be done. Cruisers are much heavy and had bigger distance between front and rear wheel - gravity center is lower and harder is to pop up. All you can get is smoke from rear tire and that is it.

Yeah, here motorcycle can be riden 9 months in year... and I`m driving car at +40C, instead of motorcycle...

Hi, I have a Yamaha dt 50R from 1993 (). I own this motorcycle for many years, and it is a quite fun for city ride. Fun ride turned to extra fun when original DT 50 R engine fail. So I decided to swap with RD 80, wich has 6 gears, and is a lot faster. But fun ride turned into bad ride when the kick start shaft break at 2 peaces, and engine could not be runned. Since then I my motorcycle is staying in garage and I`m looking for some solution. Can I found somewhere complete kick shaft with sprocket and spring? DT80 and RD80 are two identical engines. Or some suggestion about engine swap? It might be cheaper to change engine. I`m not quite shure will dt50 chassis hold dt125 engine. Also fuel tank is bigger than dt 125 and i dont think that will have enough space to mount 4 stroke engine (xt 125)

Hi Sacha Well fun ride turned to extra fun when original DT 50 R engine fail. So I decided to swap with RD 80, wich has 6 gears, and is a lot faster.

Hi I have 1993 Yamaha dt 50 R with DT/RD 80 engine. I was wondering, is it posible to fit DT 125 engine (2 stroke)? Or xt 125 (4 stroke)? Thanks
