DT125x Rear Shock - Advice Needed
Didn't think it would be, already checked the part numbers they are different, so I'm stuck I think! Might have to go down the performance route, as I intend on keeping the bike for a long time anyway. Worth an ask! lol

DT125x Rear Shock - Advice Needed
So after noticing some dark patches underneath my bike, it appears that my rear shock is leaking oil. Consulted my manual and guess what, its a non-serviceable part due to the gasses inside. Any leaks and you have to replace the unit. Checked the price for a new one, its an eye watering £285 from ajsutton. Had a browse on ebay for some, and can only find ones for the RE or R models, problem being they have, according to google, 30mm higher set height, and a lot more suspension travel So the question is could I fit one of these to my bike? i'm guessing its a no, but asking anyway in case someone on here has had similar issues? thanks in advance, Paul

2 stroke oil spec?
My local Yammie dealer sells Putoline, I always get the sport/race spec ones. So I usually run that or Silkolene.

As everyone else said, paddle along in neutral and knock it into first! My dad rode his rd350 for 2 weeks without a clutch lol

bike protective clothing. lack of......
Seen something very similar myself, someone I work with with his Mrs on the back in vest top and shorts. He was wearing full leathers. If you choose to not wear the right gear and get injured you've only got yourself to blame. But if you have an accident and your pillion gets injured, how bad would you feel?

changing a standard yamaha dtr exhaust for a dep pipe help need please
Yeah order a couple of plugs and do a 'plug chop' as it's called. I'm not a expert in this so can't tell you in full. But you do something along the lines of install fresh plug, find a quiet road, run up to maximum rpm in 2nd or 3rd gear, clutch in, allow engine to stop on its own. Check colour of plug. There's a plug colour chart on Google that'll give you an indication of too lean /rich etc That's about all I know lol

I actually fitted a big one system, mine was ok, but you should definitely check it once fitted. If you're running lean you don't want to hole a piston

I removed the chrome pipe all together, the rubber hose that connects to it I folded back on itself and cable tied it up. Then cable tied it up to the frame to hide it.
