Well, after a long awaited search for a bike close to me i found one actually near me as opposed to the other side of the country! however including going back to my parents house to get a trailer, the total trip worked out about the same in miles lol!!
Anyway, 2002 Dt 125. nearly standard bar indicators, small number plate, mirrors and 'big one' silencer.
7k on the clock at the moment with 11 months m.o.t and 5 months tax!
Picked it up today for £1k
Here is a quick pic before having to go back to uni! compared the DT with the YZ in the background up the road quickly, made the DT feel like a slug lol!

If anyone knows any cheap/cool things i could do to it, please just leave a post with what and where they are available.
Plans so far are just to get it very clean, put the yz front mudguard, perhaps a nicer front light, and people talk to tail tidy's but they are about £50 :/
ite m8 kl ill post up details of dates n locations when i get them,
any chance u can do me a favour if u get a chance can u see if ur rear sprocket and brake disc off the yz fit the dt rear hub, and see if the rear wheel fits the dt (with or without dt axle) to see if the disc lines up in the rear brake, if it does im gonna get a renthal twin ring sprocket and new wavey disc to match the one im gonna get for the front , also if the yz wheel fits the dt im gonna get a yz wheel in the future as there lighter n better looking, if u can do that thatll be sweet as, also it will open up more products to the dt if we can find out wat exactly fits staright from the yz
I'll do my best on that. As i slowly take things apart i will be swapping back and fourth to see what bits fit etc and will be sure to let you and everyone know :) i need to take a look at my throttle stick for the moment!!
cheers. I'll do my best on that. As i slowly take things apart i will be swapping back and fourth to see what bits fit etc and will be sure to let you and everyone know :) i need to take a look at my throttle stick for the moment!!
back home with the bike at the moment! had a go on my drive, i cant wait untill i have got my CBT on monday! its faster than my car lol!
thanks for the comments, i'll get some nice photo's tomorrow if the sun's out. i would polish it but i know where im going after my CBT!
Brad, had a quick look in comparison with the yz, hubs and everything look completely different and looks like a non fit unless butchered a lot! i will get back on other parts if they fit though lol! perhaps an older YZ might be more corresponding!
I think I'll leave the YZ as is! it kills the DT hands down, would love to have the motor on the road lol.
I have read the de restricting post on a website linking to this forum for the year of this bike,
These are the ones i know. - rev limiter in the clock that needs to be unplugged. - exhaust (basically just get a new front pipe lol) - airbox (will leave this one alone as i want to use it off road.
is there any other ones for this bike like buying a servo for a power valve to hold it open, or is that other models?
hmm, seems to go okay, shall look into doing something with it to make it a bit faster!
got some better photo's of it today.
All of its working now.
No throttle stick, Breaks are no longer sh1te lights in the dials are replaced, have a rainbow LED in the rev counter that changes colour lol, should be a laugh!
Well, been a while, i initially started out just wanting to keep the bike as it was. but somehow ended up spending all my money on its looks!
firstly, pulled it all apart (exterior) and washed it all properly, getting all the sh1te off thats probably been there for years! then i went and got some bits for it!
fatbars/bar risers Front/Rear mudguards/headlight/tail-tidy polished exhaust guard spare wheels for off road sessions!
I didnt take any photo's before i used it off road, but it was going to get wrecked anyway!!
Have a look, there was a mirror on it...but i fell off, along with the mirror :)
Hope you like, no further plans with the bike. will
There are a couple more things i would like but not for some time, black seat cover and fork socks but i need a new chain and sprockets, came off today in the middle of nowhere :@!
that happend to me lol was something like 15 miles from my house on my ts50 and i did a lil burn out on some grass and as i went to pull off arfter leaning the bike it was just revin in eatch gear and not moveing i thought my cluch has burnt out or something my mates pull up and are like your chain is off =/ i was lucky my back wheel was just not done up as tight as it shoud of and moved lmao i got lucky
tbh i prefer the cut down pannles and im planing on doing it unless u get it right and there is only really 1 way to cut it to make it look wicked it looks strange =[ so yes u should XD
yeah looks good, get a hpires rear fender and cut the rear of the seat down like seiki done for an awsome finish :) sure he could make a step by step how to on it.
the way u have photo shoped it it does look nice lmao with the white bit in the middle lol and if u are going to cut the seat down u could get some new fabric for it in black it will make it stand out a bit more
