you only took off the gear lever...nothing else?
-
Have you checked the oil level isnt over filled?
-
not easy for a complete novice I'd say
-
They were new rings!
-
Just had an email from groupon, 26% off 'Virgin Experience Days' My luck's in but somehow cant see me lasting for days
-
I agree. paint the spokes, that way they'll be protected from the elements / salt etc besides, paint stripper just doesnt have any ability to do 'what it says on the tin' any more, thank the tree hugger eurocrats for that!
-
might be worn piston rings causing 'blowby' of compressed gasses into the engine casings, try placing a tube onto the breather and see if you can detect any draught coming from the tube, maybe also mix a 2mm deep soapy solution in a jar and see if the tube blows bubbles there? The tube will have to be a very good fit on the breather for any of this to work I'm kinda hoping others will chip in here as all of this is just a guess by me

Greetings Evan yeah start a thread on this, it would be nice to see them if you can post pics
-
Aow now that IS spectaculor I'm in the same boat as you DT with regars posting video, I copy and paste from the browser and all I get is a link...drewpy then comes along and puts it right
-
yes, I wouldnt paint or coat the nipples myself...it may get damaged when building the wheel. Take photos before you strip out the old spokes and also take measurements for the rim/hub offset Mask the spoke thread before painting
-
you can buy spokes from a yamaha dealer, for example Silvesters will send them to you, you'd have to paint them though, they will be standard zinc plated http://www.silvestermx.com/

Bippo you're my hero Glad you're back safe...ahh well back to the daily grind til next time. I must say I'm impessed you got the tiger back on it's feel all by yourself...well done you
-
Just get them from a yamaha agent, silvesters will post them to you why not give them a ring http://www.silvestermx.com/
-
That's what I was thinking too, yeah you might find them cheaper if you google the part number
-
well worth a second giggle haha
-
perhaps theres a reson for it, has the clutch been assembled correctly...does this even apply to this bike? Check the engine mounts are properly tight
-
Nice but the photo could be better
-
just look out for the ones that mount on the oil tank http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-Dtr-125-r-2001-CDI-Coil-switch-/370960336695?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item565ef58737#ht_97wt_958 I 'think' the ones with the silver coloured sheathing are the best though http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/yamaha-dt125r-cdi-/321269023546?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4acd20433a#ht_25wt_958

-
I'm surprised theres all that much difference myself they were only ever claimed to be 15 / 16 BHP or so how do you know ther DT hasnt been ported any?
-
theres no difference between 'crosser' plastics or any other plastics, get some flexible primer and key the surfaces woth wet n dry first, be sure to remove all wax polish etc before starting. allow each coat to thoroughly dry and flat each coat before applying the next. wet n dry used wet is the way to go
