Hi all The DT125X 2005 i have has hazard warning lights, I have a slight problem when switched on they flash once then nothing the indicator light on the dash stays on. My indicators when switched on left and right work fine. I can only find one indicator relay on the drawings. Does anyone have any ideas ?? Also as they are fitted are they part of the M.O.T ?? Any advice would be very welcome. cheers nige

hi there the proper part is a new hub/wheel and even second hand your talking a £100 hence looking for advice on a repair cheers nigel

our thoughts are with you but remember the good memories will grow old with you

Hi all i need some advice!!! I have discovered the cause of my speedo being intermittent. On the DT125X there is a single lug on the hub to drive the speedo gear and guess what mine is missing. i have been getting some movement due to the speedo drive gear rubbing against the hub as the tabs on the drive gear look a little worn. first pic is my hub no lug second pic is how it should be my question is do you think it would be possable to drill the hub and insert a pin. the pin would only be driving the speedo gear so should not be under a lot of strain. any ideas would be great thanks nigel

hello there there a great bunch on here and very helpfull yambits is good for older models but i often use https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/ takes a couple of days longer delivery but prices are pretty good. cheers nigel

hi slice no nothing is working the mileage is not moving. cheers nigel

hi paul i have taken the cable off the back of the speedo and spun the front wheel and the speedo end of the cable turns. i will have another look maybe the cable end in not locating properly in the speedo. while your about paul do you know if you grease a sprag/starter clutch ? i have to change mine and wanted to know if is should be lubricated ?

thanks paul

PS if anyone has one for sale i would be very interested

Hi all has anyone tried to repair this type of speedo? the cable seems fine the drive is working. The needle is not moving and the milage is not moving, any ideas would be gratefully received cheers nigel

thanks for the info mr slice

The seat and tank do look older but im no expert, As for the starter motor you can always run the heavy cable from the motor directly to the battery to see if you get any movement. you can buy brushes for the motor but not much else, https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/yamaha-parts/motorcycles/dt125x-2006/starting-motor-353958.aspx i have had parts from this site and prices are not to bad, hope this helps nige

second hand ones are hard to find, if you need one try searching for a gilera 125 sc same engine and often cheaper

Hi Not sure about Suttons Yamaha Europe parts list tells you your bike from the vin. could have a later engine fitted. nige Think the first electric start in uk was the dt125re 2004 when they work there great when they go wrong its lots of pounds your talking £250 for a new yamaha starter motor.

hi all what is best for an aluminum engine traditional ethylene glycol or silicate? and can one of you lovely people explain what silicate is ? cheers nigel

hi there Do you have a multimeter ? if so check the voltage out of the starter relay the heavy wire to the starter motor. when you press the start button you should have twelve volts going to the starter motor. if you do then either the starter motor is kaput or as the bike has stood for so long something could be seized. have you tried turning the engine over by hand? cheers nigel ps i did not think they added the electric start until the 2000s
