1988? Yamaha DT 125 worth the time and money?
Airhead replied to JGreen27's topic in Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes
Clean the original either ultrasonic of the best you can do with carb cleaner and compressed air...save your money if the carb is only dirty -
nice one lallasro., that's what I'd have done too...Well done on the fix

Hi Jake, you say it's a water cooled bike, perhaps the fluid in the cylinder is coolant...maybe a head gasket leak? Anyway post all your questions and progress here in this thread so as to keep it all together rather than a new thread for every problem. Learn how to post pictures we would like to see it and posting the VIN # might help. As for how much you spend really depends on availability of parts in US...ebay...craigslist etc. -
Hey greetings Duki(nfield) lad ...so It's a 125 then?

Sorry to hear about your dad's passing NEV.

sorry I was a bit late mate but you should have taken off the spring tension before withdrawing the shaft...that was just muppetry
-
hadnt read this properly, of course 4+5 should be there, that'll give enough room for springs to jump out of place. I think I have a spare assembly at work ***Tip*** If like me you re-use good gaskets, take a lot of care with the kickstart return spring when removing/replacing the clutch cover...It easily jumps out of its locating hole in the crankcase and tears the gasket on its travels

is there an arrow on the piston crown? if there is it should point to the front of the bike

Have you got a haynes manual? Have you got a multimeter? Have you tested all the resistances of the coils both the HT coil and the stator coils, as per the spec in the manual? If the answer is yes yes yes then maybe the cdi is u/s

yeah as cynic said it's a 'must do' to fit a new key. sheared keys are caused by not tightening the flywheel nut to the specified torque and so this is another 'must do'. let us know how you get on with this -
I've done nearly 42'000 miles on mine

some of your estimations are a bit low I'd say but yeah a matching numbers complete runner has to be worth more than £600

something wrong with the vac petrol tap Ray and also something wrong with the carb float valve, you can damage you engine trying to start it with a cylinder full of petrol!

you should replace that with a new one George
