smilerdt125 · DTR Member

hi mate, i tryed puttin some on, usd forks, got bottom bearing made for bottom yoak, but the pole didnt fit dow my frame so i sashed the thing out that holds the bearings in, do u no what size bearing i wud need for the top? lol cheers

DT-R_bradders · Guru

I used the original dt stem that joins the yokes together on the usd yokes so I could use the standard dt steering head barings , so didn't have butcher the frame, if iv understood correctly what your saying then u have near completely ****ed your frame m8 , I couldn't tell what size barings u need with out me being there to take measurements, u need to measure the outer race diameter and inner race diameter ,so... The bit wer the baring goes in the frame and the diameter of the stem, u get what I'm saying???

Hi guys

Great forum here nice to see fellow dt owners helping each other out

I am new to this forum' well i say that but have come across and followed it over the years, makes very intresting reading.
I am a outboard motor machanic who loves the old 2 stroke motors and have had 2 stroke bikes over the last 10 years most of which i have brought back to life these are just a few, aprilia af1, honda cr125, aprilia rs125, kmx125, and now on my second dt125r

I think smiler means he has bashed out the inner race ( that holds the bearing in the head stock?) i replaced all the old ball barings in my first dt for roller bearings what a job that lol. need to do my new dt aswell grrrr, least i know what toOls i will need this time

My new dtr is a 1993 model rebored to 150cc 3 months ago so i was told which when i had to do the head gasket the condition of the piston and barral confirmed this which I was pleased about as most things i buy like outboards n bikes come fully serviced pmsl more like never serviced, never take some ones word for it check and re service it before you use it!
My dtr also has the new power valve system on it which the prev owner was saying its a four wired power valve unit that cost him nearly 400 but i have never heard of 3 wire / 4 wire power valve unit has anyone else? thought there was only one type of servo ect

jayjay · DTR Senior Member

Most pepole on here are saying it's a 3 and 5 wire servo. Im not sure what years have 3 an 5 wires though.

stroker · DTR Senior Member

yea thats right just had a look and it has 5 wires the lad reckons it puts less stress on the top end but never heard anything like that before, plus i cant see how it could put any less stress on the top end? unless it runs the servo smoother but saying that it goes like a rocket, its hard to keep the wheel down when pulling away fast my old dt with standard engine and pinned open power valve wasnt no where near as qruick as this one neither was the kmx and there ment to go better but then there a smaller bike so less waight

Yes thanks Bradders mate all good here thankyou mate glad your ok

DT-R_bradders · Guru

so i noticed my exhaust was blowing the other week n i finally had a look at it, i noticed i could see a crack in the pipe by jus looking at it without removing the rear side panel, but i was quite shocked to find this wen i took it off confuse

there wasnt so mush of a gap before i losend it it was pushed tight together before

so now im running a stubbied bigone which imho sounds soooo much better more a mx sound to it now i really do turn heads lol biggrin

has anyone else had this problem with there dep or is it jus me???

Energized · DTR Legend

OMG Bradderz :o bloody hell mate! lol thats pretty crazy, hows the bigone treating you then?

DT-R_bradders · Guru

lol big ones wkd m8 i love it lol wish i fitted it ages ago, alltho its not as pretty as my dep but i dont really give ppl a chance to look at it as im hoonin past lol ill get my dep welded up n maybe sell it if anywon wants it?

the only way is YAMAHA DTR · Guru

i had a bigone silencer on my yz 125, did sound nice tho wasnt made for the bike

MX dep's are alot smaller and louder

how did it snap?

DT-R_bradders · Guru

dunno m8 just noticed it had started to blow, think it was wer iv picked up the back of the bike wen i was on the right hand side n used my hip as leverage on the rear panel n that prob finished it? only thing i can think of. that maybe n an impurity in the pipe itself had weakened it?

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

lol i dunno why but it kinda made me laugh when it shouldent lol i want to hear the big one now lol im sick of the sound of my dt i miss my old standrd and that cheapr wired one was so loude and crisp now just boreing and casual i might stubby the dep i cant be arsed to cant aford to get you to do it =[ ill probly **** it up aswell haha not going to polish it mind i dont like shiny things on my bike as i hate cleaning things lol and put no wadding in it so its loude as **** haha
