DT125R ARCHIVE

Will be totally legal, and as its been restamped with the approval of DVLA its totally legit. Its going to look a little bit iffy just because its not factory stamped.

Dude, ne worries lol........................

btw I had a little sneaky ride on it today.... I had the biggest smile on my face. I loved it, get it so 8k rpm and it turns into an animal. feels like getting sucked into a blackhole or somthing, felt like the front wheel was going to lift in 3rd :)))

Before you know it you will be able to take the full thing apart and put it back together again in your sleep.............

its worth replacing if you have the funds but if you dnt it should be alright as the dt engine is bullet proof for a 2t

If your disc is warped and it's noticeable by spinning the front wheel, it will fail the MOT.

They checked mine and rear one during my MOT.

Chain alignment is just an advisory if it's out.

I think, but don't take my word for it you get X amount of days to go back for a free re-test. You'll have to ask the station you go to about that though.

They'll charge you labour. It's simple enough to put a new disc on. Order it then a couple of allen bolts, then put the new ones on jobs a good 'un.

Don't forget you need a CBT, insurance etc to ride it there.

Oxford? Not worth the money they charge for their garbage. Their chains and locks aren't any better. Inferior quality.

But what you can't forget is the price is like this
£5 - Profit.
£5 - Shop / dealership cost.
£3 - VAT tax etc.
£1 Cost to make indicator.

So basically it's something that cost a Pound to make.

Pointless mate. Waste of money it WILL fail for not having a horn. My brothers YZ failed because the lights at idle zapped the power for the horn

if it fails and i dont remove it from the station I belive they can fix it and pass it without an extra charge. I have £200 put aside for it so im sure there is nothing more expensive then £200 which will be needed anyhow.

Oilw I never thought about the radiator hose hahaha going down to halfords now, cheers mate :)

Fail?

It failed! lol you guys was right, but in all honesty im happy with how it turned out.

Kinda expected it too! but im happy because the MOT guy was class, he wasnt an arse and literally showed me and told me every step of the bike MOT.. what he's checking, how he's checking it and eveything. was more of a tutorial really.
It only failed on having a bad front wheel bearing... which im told is really cheap to change. (remember how i said it looked like the front wheel was warped a little seems it was the bearings!)

anyways he said I get 30 days to sort it out and come back and he will just test for that and its free. so thats cool beans.

So yeah on the day, I went out and bought some indicators, bulbs, a horn and L plates and sorted most of the problems. for the exhaust leak I went to halfords and asked for a car radiator hose. they didnt sell them, so my next Idea was getting a car exhaust repair kit and doing some surgery to fix the leak. When I was looking at the stupily expensive kits I realized that they all was using aluminum strips in the kits. So I just bought some aluminum sticky tape for £3 and wraped it round the gap between my front pipe and end can. seemed a good fix and I tied both ends of the tape in place with jublie clips! :) job done.

I just left it at the garage and asked the guy to fix it. I know i could have done it, but you have to look after guys like this, he was quality and didnt come up with bull**** reasons for failure so I dont mind sending a little business his way.

Hmm exhaust leak? Where the silencer and expansion chamber join? Sounds like you're missing a rubber seal, or yours has perished. One of these www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DT125-R-1988-03-Exhaust-Tailpipe-Rubber-New-/131074587340
