DT125R ARCHIVE

my holding tool

exhaust can fit in correct position, clearing the tank

bang on! not too much further now  

cheers guys, tyres cost me £160 fitted at protyre, but that was a special price

 ok so i cut the silencer to fit it but then fount where i cut it the I.D. was less than where the silencer joins so the exhaust gases would be restricted, so now im selling my silencer, its an easy weld up since it not been cut right off

go to find a silemcer with a 23mm ID

it looked like i could have lined it up nicely

but will find a new way

need to ,ake up exhaust brackets and bend the one on the front pipe where it should join under the tank

found a few pics of my exhaust on a dt125r to help

,

****, my silencer won't come for two weeks :(

But I started it today and it ran nicely,   moving the kickstart forward. One spline made it start alot easier because it's now alot harder to kickover

silencer has finally come. wow its so long i might make a twin silencer or sell half of it, bit of modding to do but not a bad fit, will also be making a spigot for the end cap

Yeh wqs brand new and was £70 with vat. But claimed it back

Mission mx mate

Thats a proper nice job, first time ive ever seen this thread or anyone take the time to mod the 125 cases to get the 200 crank in them. I remember the first time I tried to put a 200 topend on a 125.....oops the rod is to short so silly c**t me sent a nackered 125 crank off for a recon and still no good lol stroke was still to short with the 200 rod in the 125 crank...... Not to worry though I got the topend from canada for pennys and sold it for daft money on ebay......;)

You running a single rad set up ? They run fine on the single rad and dont overheat, ive done it a few times but never like you ive just done straight forward full lump swaps with WR200 DT200WR and full bike swaps with DT200R,s.

I did this one with a like new 88 3ET DT200R with about a 1000 k,s on the clock onto a 52plate 125 frame when the 125 was 18 months or so old. I used to buy the 200,s from Bat motorcycles in Biggin Hill 2 and 3 at a time. I dont know if they are still there these days.
