What and my SM wheels were cheap lol. Paid £300 for the pair with tyres. I did all the work myself but if I were to pay someone that would have been around £100 total.

They were in nice condition so I was happy to pay the price. That was after delivery as well. Nevertheless Danny it did take me 7 months to get it sorted. Had to machine down a lot off the rear brake, and there was the potential risk of machining down the rear wheel. Just saying...

im thinking £200 posted with nearly brand new tires, i was keeping these for a SM conversion as i was going to buy a WR myself but than got the husky and the wheels just stayed there. and i will throw in a bigger disc for the rear. I understand the wr has a 240 disc , i will throw in a 220 the pads should still get in contact with it, or EBC can sort you out with a disc to suit

plus cal its talking about the RS125 wheels these are of a Derbi GPR the rear wheel is much slimer than the aprilia ones, so wnt need machining down the wheel just spacing out the rear dics

i remember when i had the rs wheels on that silver dt that i had, and the hub on it was just squeezed in there, these wheels needed more than a standard dt spacers are

That's what my bro done with the YZ. Expensive though. But means you can then have Stainless Steel spokes.

Supplied wheels, hubs and he replaced the front tyre I believe it was just shy of £300. It was £70 a wheel plus spokes plus the tyre.

 

Might be a little less actually, around £270.

wat i would do is get ktm wheels, there seams to be sht loads of them people selling off and sometimes you can score a set for around 200 quid, if you cannot make the hubs work with the wr 200 for set of rims with tyres still ain't bad

I would worry about getting on road before anything else, seeing as your broke.

Why did you sell the DT before you passed your test out of interest?

I ended up taking my cbr for a few spins before I passed, too tempting having the bike sitting there.

Grab your camera, start it up rev it a little and flick the kill switch off and on real quick. Film it so we can see what happens... It's a surprise. ;)

If it's got a decent enough exhaust system it won't need a flick of the kill switch to produce that. My WR400 had a full White Bros titanium system and even with the baffle in it still popped and bang when you come off the throttle

Poping and banging is not neccessarily a good thing, could mean the carbs not setup right and its running lean
