DT125R ARCHIVE

think ive found my stolen dt 125 on ebay it was stolen over a year ago i just asked the huy if the numbers were present and there not im 100% sure its my bike is there anything i can do and on off road dts are there any vin numbers or engine numbers?

No. They didn't make off road dt's. Dt's are Yamaha's road going bike. The WR or yz are the off road bikes.

Guess you could always go and view it with the intention of trying to make sure that its yours before doing anything, surely there must be specific things you remember about it, for example maybe you used red electrical tape for the loom, or maybe damage to somewhere where you'd be surprised that another dt would have

And then if you 100% believe them you could confront them about it and if they go all flustered about how they got it or you can tell that they've clocked you that it's your bike, either get the police involved or steal it back ;)

However the thing you gotta remember is that they might not be the ones which stole it off you but it might lead to information on who did if it was yours

Don't understand what the **** is the point in an 'off road DT' just buy a yz or wr and don't ruin a nice bike by bodging the electrics

Good advice been given but definitely ask if you can view it before the auction ends. Look for any little things that would 100% make it yours that you can remember. If so contact the police straight away - I wouldn't tell the guy in case he tries any funny business whilst you are away. Then go back with the police and try and sort it out. As he obviously won't have any receipts or a link with any V5 it doesn't look good really.

Even with ground frame numbers I'm sure you could get it back after all the original theft will have been logged - they do it for bicycles and loads of other property without unique stamps

he just rang me hes a big chav and said look m8 i had the bike 6months blah blah blah i said the bike was nicked over a year ago and he replied i knewd da guy who had it for two years how can you prove its yours so i said the engine in there is a 1998 i put it in .

what very you do dont call the police there useless ****s and without numbers they will say they cant do anything and make sure you dont.

my mates gixxer was stolen then 2 months later was at college on a different frame and plate we showed them about 100 thines that proved it was my mates inclueding the rear seat cable sticking out scratched on a photo of his bike then showed him the one son the pannles

the wheels had been crappy sprayed we scratched the paint off and could see the original coulor, asked them but the headstem nut has been undone on a 3 year old bike and the top yoke was scratched to fook they said the frame is matching the plate so the bike is not stolen and you must leave we will wait till the owner comes back and leaves

if you come back we will arrest you

Lol +1 on bradders idea

I think you made a mistake by letting him know you know though and about the engine.

+1 Also this has got me, howcomes in your biography you state that you've only ever had one dtr, the one with the full custom graphics kit and a big one exhaust which I presume is the one in your dp, howcomes there's no mentioning of this dtr you had owned before it was stolen?? I'm intreged But now that you've contacted the seller saying its yours your gonna have to make each oncoming decision wisely and quickly,

How are you so sure that its yours? Just out of interest. Got some photos of yours? I feel for you too man. I very much doubt you will be able to get it back. If you have reciepts showing it with that engine number and a police reference of when it was stolen you may be able to. I'd go for it myself but dont expect it to be easy. He'll no doubt sell it before you get a chance though. I think you made a mistake by letting him know you know though and about the engine.

update here is the conversation from start to finish scroll down the bottom thats where it starts :

Dear bigean7,

Dear afreshstart2012,

That's how you don't go about getting your stolen bike back. If you were serious about it you'd done what we said.

Sounds about right mate. Typical pikeyish behaviour.
