yeh.. bit closer.. ignition fitted.. gonna bleed front brake in a min, numberplate bracket sort of sorted but it too much of a pile of **** to fit so I gotta do that again.
rear swinger getting swapped over for the dtx one.. so next pics will be fully converted with all standard dt125x parts apart from the dt125r speedo hub that I got a sneaky feeling is stopping my front axle from bolting all the way in correctly.. seiki can you see some of the thread on the r/h (as you sit on the bike) forkleg where the axle bolts in?
on a DTR forkleg you dont have that bit of thread showing...

No you cant mate , I've not done it FT , but it's close to it and I'd say the spindle is about 2mm away from the edge now . One more 1mm and it still wont be poking out . I had the DTR speedo on at first and even though the things look IDENTICAL , my wheel didn't spin free enough when I tightened it up like I have now . Soon as I fit the DTX speedo it was fine . Also check you're using the DTX spacers mate , obvious thing to say but you know how it goes . These bits are so similar it's easy to get mixed up . I should really mark them tbh .
hmmm. my wheel spins fine.. I got the correct spacer (came with the wheels thankfully) maybe i havent tightened it enough.. Il take some pics though.. Im sure its the speedo drive...
edit.. you can see the thread in the 3rd pic in the first post ^^^

complete dt125x rear end fitted. practically new relay arm and white chain buffer.
custom diy rear numberplate/tail light bracket finished and fitted. Just need new numberplate..
filled up with some new coolant. Popped in a litre of juice and for a laugh gave it a few kicks.. Started 4th kick (forgot to put choke on 1st kick). Soo its up and running.. No lights as yet, ignition not wired up (looms been chopped and needs looking at and its pissing me off tbh), kill switch not wired and stalls when I put it into gear.. (clutch cable seems to be wrong)..

Well I'm busy DIY'ing and garden clearing (for a workshop yay!) so the DT is gathering dust right now :(
All I'm stuck on is;
Headlight brackets = need to some how make R and X join together Vapor dash lights = need to wire up to DT electrics properly (brand new loom) Indicator relay = wrong connector so needs mods to suit loom
Fit;
Speedo cable extension = I'm working from rear wheel not front so its too short Front brake light switch = on way from Yamaha Vapor remote switch = coz its trick and can control speedo from left bar
Figure out;
YPVS cables
If only I could work on the bike indoors as it would be done by now :(
lol i know.. and its not even decent stuff ive been smoking recently
I have actually found it again..its on top of my freezer..will post on friday. skint at mo.

sounds a good lots of stuff there :P only the best lol
btw you said you had a new custom cap to replace the boost bottle on the side? is it better blocked up? i pulled all the tissue out of mine and took the tap off should i have left it all in there?
yeh the booster bottle, deffo should be empty lol, always keep that on at all times bud as when the engine gets starved of air at any point then it will pull the eccess air from there, saves blowing yer engine up
no mate I dont have the bottle there.. 89 didnt have that boost bottle.. my original carb>airbox rubber was fckd so I replaced it with a newer one without the bottle and bunged the hole.. wasnt till around 2000 that they had that boost bottle... shouldnt be blocked though. Ive rumours that it increases performance when it is blocked which is why yours might have had tissue in it.. But I dont think it makes a difference.. my 04 has been left standard apart from de-cat, wire trick and dep..

the only way that by blocking the bottle to de res is to block it and remove the snorkel from airbox at the same time, there has been shed loads of people try this and makes un-noticeable differences apart from sound under seat, for the fact it makes no differnce i would stick to what yamaha have designed it for not to mention that the snorkel also saves crap being sucked onto your filter
