DT125R ARCHIVE

I dont think ill be doing anything like changing forks, i just wanna do a few bits like shorter sm mud guard, fork gaitors and headlight then i think im done.

I also want a lower profile tyre on the rear but wont do that for a while untill ive this one is dead and ive saved some money up, alought my mates say they prefer the fatter rear tyre!

One thing i would love is a white powder coated swing arm, forks, yokes and risers!!......

YZ STICKERS FTW!

Get rid of them mate if your gonna keep the bike long term, I would take all stickers off them get your self some wicked ones on, seing as you gone sm now

LMAO @ woll!!

I will be changing the headlight, mud guard and fork gaitors in the future when i have saved a bit of money up. After buying the wheels, tyres and my cr 80 im well skint and next thing im buying a a piston kit for the cr to put on that ( for piece of mind).

Im not 100% sure on what headlight i want, i like the twin headlight style ones. I will get a shorter front mud guard but wont be spacing it down and will proberly go for the acerbis fork gaitors.

I think i am gonna have a go at removing some off the stickers the previous owners stuck on but im very unsure of trying the tank stickers as i really dont wanna pull any laquer off. Ive been reluctant to remove them up untill now coz i dont want it to look crap where ive pulled them off.

Cheerz for that Dave! Some ppl love the spokes and some ppl dont like them as much!

Im really pleased with them. We have had a bit of rain the last few days which has taken the shine off them a bit

Got the auto glym metal polish out tho and got them shining again, gonna be a knigtmare in the winter!! lol

Cheerz for the thought but i think the tail tidy looks ok the way it is!!

Im still very undecided what im gonna do next to her!!!! Im still very happy with how shes looking at the moment so think it will be a month or 2 before i do anything else!!

you got braided lines yet? Can't remember if you have and i cba reading all the thread again to find out lol, if you haven't get them :) make a massive difference to the brakes if you get sintered pads (i remember you getting them) my dts front brake is 100 times better than my bandits front brake.

Looks good mate but I'd have to have the X rear brake and some fat bars as the original brake is awful and always needs stripping and cleaning. Also I'd re-locate the indicators as they appear as if they are too low (personal choice again).

My front brake went **** tbh, i had cheapy pads, standard brake line and the bolt on the lever wasn't hitting the piston on the resevoir properly, you literally had to wait to stop, I almost knocked someone over on a zebra crossing as my brakes wouldnt stop me!!!! I changed lever as mine had bent, changed to sintered pads and HEL brake line, its a stoppie machine now haha.

Few pics of my bike in the snow



I went a did my theory test today, when i parked my bike up it wasnt snowing and came back to this.

Yeh it was propa bad, they give no grip at all really in the snow!!

That last pic has made me realise the rear tyre profile is way too big. I wanted a 140/70/17 but when i went to the tyre place the closest they had in partworns was a 140/80/17. Not gonna change it tho will be selling it in the new year when i pass my test.

Not the best in the snow and ice are they the sm rims!! I find it ok in the day but in a morning or on a night the slush freezes and then it gets really bad!

Got my MOD 1 on Tuesday. I think im gonna ride my xjr 400 for about 6 months then come summer sell both the xjr and the dt and buy a Honda XR 650 SM

Yeh they are epic mate, a chap who lives around by me has one i see him on the way to work sometimes and we have a little play!!

What im thinking about doin is selling the dt wen i pass (got my mod 1 on tuesday), buy a quad or woteva to play with over the summer when im not racing then at the end of the summer sell that and the xjr and then get a xr650 sm!!

u use to be on pbc , i dnt know if u can remeber me im evopitbike
