too slow

ok thanks for that, as i only use my dt on the road for commuting i may go along that route and see if i can get hold of one and fit it if the fiiting are all the same

i have an 02 dt125r and a work friend of mine has an 07 dt125sm, i was wondering if his rear shock and mine are both the same as his feels a lot firmer when you push the seat up and down, we have looked underneath and the preload/adjustment nuts are virtually in the same position but there is definately a difference as his feels firmer and mine feels as though it has a more smoother through action. both the rear shock springs are red

runs and ticks over lovely on the 260 jet that i put in, got tiniest of flat spot on pulling away from standstill but i put that down to changing the gearing from 15/47(i think thats standard) to 16/44 and me not giving it a big handfull of revs as well, plug has a lovely colour to it as well when i took it out to look. just thought it might need some sort of adjustment seeing as the tailpipe looks pretty well straight through now and not like the "tin of spaghetti" that the exhaust fumes must find there way through to exit the standard one

hi all, i have an 02 dt1215r that i have recently re-jetted, the carb from standard had a jet size of 240 and upped it to a 260 because i changed the exhaust tailpipe to an athena one, so was wondering if i should(if its even possible) adjust the oil pump to give a bit more oil/fuel mix. bike doesn't get thrashed or even given a hard time probably 6500rpm max so that it clears its throat, bike is only used for pottering round on sunny days like we are having at the moment

looks good, keep up the good work

the footpeg rubbers slip over the top of the footpegs and are held in place with a 6mm bolt/screw inserted through the fixing plate that is fixed in the centre of the footpeg

ok will do, thanks for the help

yep, me as well but rather pointless giving info to non-polite people as we all know politeness is free of charge and gets you so much further in life

evening all, just after a little info on the footpegs on a dt125r, i know it may seem a bit anal and over the top but i have found some footpeg rubbers(not the pillion ones) for sale on a website but they are quite expensive so was wondering if all dt125 front footpegs are the same size as the advert states they will fit a DT125re and Dt125dx 04-07 ?, for the record my dt is a 52 plate 125r and the footpeg measures 80mm long and 30mm wide and has a 6mm fixing hole to secure the rubber, thanks

friend of mine had his bike stolen a couple of years ago but now uses one of those plastic coated s/s woven wire cables and a padlock with a very small locking piece, i think it looks good and is probably quite a deterrent but if they want your bike they will take it

Thanks for the replies guys, I read about putting slightly thicker oil in the forks on here as it could possibly stiffen the forks slightly and seeing as my dt is only used for pottering around my local area and not used off-road at all (I'm a mid 50's grandad), thought that thicker oil would be ok but you would need to put less in than the 495ml normally needed but if the same amount should be put in and it won't burst the seals then so be it thats what i shall do

This weekend doing fork seals, dust covers and cleaning all the fork internals(yep know there's not a lot inside them), am going to use 15w oil instead of standard 10w oil, normally the forks take 495ml of oil si due to the new oil being a bit thicker I was thinking that I would put about 450ml, does this sound about right or should I go more or less than 450ml ?

well done

ok thanks a lot will just take top off and leave upside down overnight then

does bolt number 16 at the very bottom of the fork outer actually hold some inside each fork or can it be used removed and used as a drain
