The DT 125 RE has weaker brakes than the DTX. atleast on the front. Maybe the tdr also has the better brakes like the dtx ^^ i didnt think the RE brakes was bad, But i felt a change when i got the dtx brakes.
compared to the brembo brakes on my tdr these are like trying to stop by putting your foot on the floor haha, tdr has a 320mm disc tho so i expect it to be better
the dtre has new brake pads in the front but they dont seem to do much, i mean i havent had a chance to properly look over the bike yet anyway so something could be wrong
the forks on my tdr are ridiculously bouncy so im used to not really using the front brake now but something must be wrong! i hope they arent really this bad haha
Nah probably need stiffening up using maybe 15w fork oil, 20w max, unless your forks are leaking in which case you'll need to replace the seals, look in the manual for oil specifications.
think ive got 15w or 20w in there at the moment, just feels like theres nothing in there they are so bouncy, also since getting the front brake on tdr repaired it feels so sharp! :D
my tdr forks are ridiculous, touch the break and i feel like im doing a stoppie o.O
first ride on the re today, nearly smashed it up after some guy stopped in the middle of the road, locked up the back and front brake didnt do much so had to squeeze through the gap, dont think you could have fit a piece of paper between us!
Hahaha, my brakes on my bike aren't that bad in fairness. hooning up the a30 in london and came to some lights that just changed when I was hitting almost 90.. had to slam on the anchors sharpish and endoed cos I was going so fast. didn't think my bike was capable let alone the brakes.. lol

MATE!!! Same thing happened to me a little while back!
I wasn't paying attention when the car in front stopped and I nearly wrote off into the back. Bike tank slapped and I managed to squeaze between the car and the kerb, whilst still slapping!
Fúcking deadly. Can't wait for the upgraded brakes. much needed!
