DT125R ARCHIVE

Cheers, should have it done end of Feb start of March. Although I kind of feel it will start coming together fast as I have alot of the stuff now, still to sand the all the fairings down the now. Going for a good finish on the plastics as I feel I have worked out a good system with practice. Doing lots of research on the engine build at the moment.

Have you got a link to your vid.

My bad i'm forgetting it's a DTX 

Cheers mate. Would love to strip them down and have nice shiny spokes and white hubs ect but after trying to remove some of them I decided against it, Was up at the coaters the day picking up my tank and forks, was looking at some of the wheels they done and seen a really good Matt black it looked amazing, I am knocking my bearings out and the boy is going to mask my holes and to the whole rim in Matt black, cant actually wait lol. 

Want to get my crank cases done in Matt black but one of the screws on my oil pump has rounded and cant really get to it,also dont have a clue how to get that little oil inspection window out without damaging it. Will get some pics up of the tank and forks.

Doing the Harness tonight. Cleaned it up ect but not my favourite job cause it still a bit cosmetically crappy so I feel It is lowering the tone a little bit. It will be hiddinn anyway so I think I am just getting a bit OCD!

heheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, i'll mask your holes

Penis

That seat looks so fresh man, cut down perfectly too!

Well I got my oil seals in my forks without to much trouble. Only mistake I done was forgetting to put the little spacer that the allen bolt goes through in the bottom of the fork leg. This was after I had drivin my bush and seal in rather nicely, so I had to pull the hard work apart and start again. If anyone uses the exhaust clamp and drain pipe method, make sure you have a nice flat cut through them!

 Just waiting on my circlips coming as my ones were toally rusted.

Anyone who wants their seat looking better than new get this stuff.

 

 

Got my clocks and sand on. Going to have to make a small spacer for the stand to stop it banging into the swing arm. This is because I cut of the part the holds the stand kill switch.

 

 

 

Got my wheel bearings out by using an expanding raw bolt and heating my up with a blow tourch came out easily, just be carefull not to over heat to save the bearing. Much to my surprise the rear bearings on this bike are new! The first clue was when I took the dust seal off and I seen clean white grease for the fist time rather than orange and brown corrosion.

The old bearings must have collapsed lol.

 

 

Started putting the levers and controls back on. Lads of up and down play in the clutch cause its so worn even with the new lever going to have to sort it somehow with a washer ect.

 

 

 

like the expanding raw bolt/bearing puller idea  looking nice and fresh,coming along well bud

Just a few pics of my progress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wheels are getting balanced tomorrow then the white rim stickers are going on.

Looks great!

cheers guys. I used the white gloss touch up pen from halfords. Not a job to do after a few pints lol. mines arent perfect but they look ok. it was one of those jobs where practice was key but practise was actually on the job lol. I should think myself lucky though one bad move and you are in a world of pain lol!
