 I missed this thread!

 

Scrim don't say that. I really want to see it. I'm sorry I missed this thread I would have commented on it!

 

That looks filthy!

 

Whilst I don't want to turn people away, this forum has gone really dormant, might I suggest Yamahaownersclub. That's busy!

 

Scrim at least upload one pic. Or if it's on your site send me a link :(

Where do you find these bikes Scrim lmao
That wants some special loving :D

god I feel old these are the dt's off my miss spent yoof.. I had an air cooled mx. the paint had faded from red to a horrid pinkish . was using a heat gun to strip the paint of the tank when my mate came round and called me a few nice names as there was smoke coming out of the hole where the petrol cap was....live and learn.

The days work has ended up taking a bit longer lol with this that and the other, anyway now there is a days work left. Needs oil and coolant, a new throttle cable, new battery, oil pump bleeding, DT175MX carb re jetting to 125LC spec but up to a 95 main from a standard 80 because it got a brand new full Giannelli system on it and these ran lean back in the day when they were new a lot more on the edge than a DTR. Get these ods and ends done and she's finished all save for a good wash and polish she's a bit grubby. Its got NOS MXA tank and seat covers but I've redone the tank underneath the cover.

The DT with the YZ topend is in boxes, im still collecting little bits for it. Mostly genuine White plastics and decals and an exhaust. I need to give it a mock assembly of just the frame with the engine and YZ carb n airbox in it so I can sort any little brackets out properly and get the battery box on before I paint the frame. The engine was a doddle chewiest things were getting the powervalve cables located properly in the YZ powervalve cover and trimming n drilling the YZ inlet manifold rubber to fit the DTR reedblock.

scrim you are DT god.........haha you bring the dead back to life...

Looks like it just rolled out of the factory!

Don't u just love a DT125LC MK1, shes all done and dusted save for the rear reflector bracket and reflector and the mirrors. I keep forgetting to put it on. This thing sounds lovely with a full Giannelli system on it and a slight up on the main jet.
