- Now Sold and long gone.
Bought this bike for £400 years ago and spent an entire year restoring it. The plan was to just clean it and put it back together. That plan failed and I quickly began adding shit it didn't really need.
I spent about 3k and that wasn't all in one go, that was spread out over a year or so and using monthly wages whenever I could. I'm not rich by a long shot it just meant I went hungry sometimes that's all.
Everything on the the bike is pretty self explanatory. I dont suggest you do this unless you are willing to never park it anywhere without paranoia. People will notice it and want to take your hard work off you.
I still have it 3 years on and tbh I hardly use it, still has the same tyres which aren't near worn. I preferred building it rather than riding, sounds crazy but that's just me.
The ASV levers are universal but make sure they fit before buying them, your LH electrics will get in the way so be careful. On an 88 Dt the LH electrics are weird.
Heres the ebay link to the guy who sells the plastics

Very good job guy!! congratultion ;)
That is one beautiful restoration job, congrats :) Keep those old two-strokes alive - the world will thank you one day ! Loved the music BTW :D
Thanks very much! Will do, planning to take it off road soon and store it. I don't use it and selling it would be pointless. Quick restore and it should be a nice shelf ornament for a few years
MugensiekiYes please continue the dt story
Mugensieki I'd ride the wheels off it and keep it looking and feeling good, but hey I understand your choice - and a fine ornament it is :)
@@Thabronx_965 how long did it take to restore it? How many hours?
best project ever seen !
Ghaith Briki garage
Video 6 years old and im still amazed with what you've done!
+Pizdzirynka1 damn only feels like 3, still on same tyres lol
Nice job man! The most beautiful dt125r!
The best tuning story of a Yamaha dt I had ever see nice bike ! :)
about 3k , its doing fine thanks, recently had a rebuild due to a crappy crank but it looks pretty much like it does in the video mainly because I hardly use it and I look after it
1:33 69 ;p
lol ty for heart XD
It's been 4 years lol
@@tomtellem haha yea
Amazing work bro !
Very kind of you,i just offered more as a token of appreciation,as I have no leads as to where to get the cover.
I though of buying an YZ or some other,but there's a big chance it would come out short since DT has a biiiiiiig seat.
WOW ! Amazing job ! Your project is a best in the world 😉! Congratulations from France .
this is just beautifull. have a dt 125 from 99 myself. and am converting it to a supermoto. congrats man. awesome vid
bootsmanaa btw . what did you do with the engine? thnks
bootsmanaa Thanks a lot, the engine was rebuilt a couple times and is currently in the bike, same one from 88 but with a few new bits inside.
You have to use the DTX forks with them so you can fit the big brake conversion. Easy to do once you get the parts. The swingarm doesn't need changing
I cant believe that this guy still responds even after 10 years.
It's an old channel I dont use now, my son uses it but every once in a while I check in
Bro i can say u a very good enginer and video sound maker too, u great follow your instintc, peace.
+Miguel Machado thank you
This bike is a dream , absolutely AMAZING, YOU ARE A GOD ! xD
That is the coolest dt125r I have ever seen! Great Job!
The way it looked at the start (standard) I have that exact bike, same year but in green and black, could never do something like this to it, for that money you may as well buy a new bike ^^ but I must say the final piece looks amazing
fantastically done unbelievable attention and care well done
well done mate nice bike thinking of getting the newer model dtr(2006) myself and this is just made me want it even more wicked custome job mate powder coated tank and fram is a mint touch
wow thats great, did you need wider forks for the super moto tyres ? or did they fit with the standard forks?
Been there before mate when i did my supermoto. You done a lovely job there pal nice work fella.
Very nice job indeed. Looks gorgeous!
Really good bro !! Very nice DTR !
Yeah man you bolt the bottom adaptor to the yoke, then the top adaptor over the bars. When you order them make sure they have the correct size for your bike
You gave that bike a new life. Amazing job !!
I got the seat cover from a car upholstery shop, usually at the back of some industrial estate. Try places like that before spending loads in a shop. It cost me £15 fir enough material to do at least 4 seats
Sick bike fella very nice work you did right there !! I'm looking to get get a new-ish dt125r sm very soon ! I been saving for quite a while now .. CANT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON ONE ;D
Im not going to lie, you got skills and good taste bro that bike looks fucking sick!
Well done
Swingarm is powdercoated, I was just saying it costs more by doing that cause you have to replace all the bearings, which in the long run is good though. No point in powdercaoting the shock tbh. Engine is better left alone as it gets hot and dirty too easily. Good luck with the build
that was awesome, my good sir you are a genius!!!!
For everyone asking about the rear fender and all plastics, check the link in the description and look at the sellers items, he still does them just find your colour
Love it! Nicest DT i have saw by far
You did a fantastic job with that bike.
The seat is some kind of rubber, id be lying if I said I knew exactly what type of material it was. The spokes I got from Hagon wheels and they came to £122 as they were stainless steel, 4 yeras on and still no sign of rust or corrosion. You can powdercoat it, it was more a warning that it will cost a bit to put it back together (bearing etc that only Yamaha make)
thanks man good luck with the build
very nice, i only hate that it's completly white , but it's your bike :D, and i really love the rims :D
That's will always be 1 sick tool !!
that is NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!, maybe a few vids of it ripping around?
Got ya. I cant get the bearings or collars out on my swingarm anyway and i destroyed the oil seals on removal.Ordered new seals but everything else can stay in there.
I love what you done to the bike, it looks good as new. :)
The plastics are called HPires, I just looked on ebay and can't find them anymore. The YZ plastic will need modding to fit the DT, it won't fit straight on. I made the seat myself, its pretty easy
@HaztaUK I have on my bike. I've got USD's on my bike with rs125 wheels on. But seiki's used the wheels that come off the yamaha dt125x. So as long as he's got the spacers for it it all fits. It's the easiest supermoto conversion you can do. Ranging to probably almos anything. So long as you know what you're doing.
My DT does about 120 miles to the tank. Cost about £15 to fill the tank nowadays. Was a tenner when I first got it.
It is a two stroke so it's going to be a little bit more to run but £15 a week is nothing.
did a good job of that mate well done
Yeah they are shorter but not that much, they only drop the front which actually helps the rear look a lot higher.
Best dtr I've ever seen
Pretty awesome job i have to say.. Im shocked on how good it looks!!!
I'm not going to lie but you've done a fucking mint job on that! well done!
I got t from a local car upholstery place. You usually find them in the back of Industrial Estates. I just used shit loads of staples but you can use glue too
very nice job lovely bike, ive got 3 x kmx200s rebuilt 1 of them not quite to your standard, 1st rebuild, id love to fit fat bars to it, in your video where you fit the bars, it looks like the fat bar clamps, bolt on top of standard bottom handbar clamps, if you can follow that, cheers kmx|Gary
wow! awesome job. I have the same bike, but I don't know what to do with it. I'm sure you spent a lot with that bike.
yea i know it does need some work like the shift lever sticks and the carb defiantly needs a cleaning but she runs good
Nice but I have always liked the older looking DT
Lovely dt! But I think if you kept the original light , and got a dt sticker set , it would be a lot nicer I think.
Just because it costs quite a bit replacing parts you have toy remove from inside. Bearings, collars, bushes. If you can get them out in tact that's cool but the bearings will at least need to change. It would have been cheaper to rattle can it lol
Great Job mate!
GOSTEI MUITO DO PROJETO E DO SOM, PARABÉNS;
just picked up a 73 dt 100 for $50 runs like a champ
Bow! Really perfect.. True motorcycle love. :)
what what ..? so this is a beautiful work .. beautiful transformation'm waiting too :D NICE
I had/have paperwork just fine, it only becomes tricky when dealing with insurance
Nice machine mate well done
that looks wicked , it's hardly recognisable as a dtr anymore, ggod job, I would like to do that to a bike but i don't want to do it to my current 1991 honda MT5, cos they're getting rare now and i am thinking of selling it to a weirdo collector eventually and they like tham in 'oily rag condition' so they can do it up, but i also want a 125 so i might have to wait for me to get a couple of bikes before i do it
i really like DT 125 Z my uncle lend me his motor bike and I do really like riding it>>>> but need more restoration coz model 1994 and no overhaul yet but still in good shape
Very nice DT and video too.
I remember this on BCF! Can't believe it was nine years ago! It was an awesome project I wonder if it's still going?
No mate I sold this bike maybe a year ago now, I stopped using it after a while and the choice was bring it back inside and store it or get rid of it. I didn't have the space so got rid of it
BenTV
LOL your neibours must have been WTF when you took your bike up to the 6th floor, Nice bike
It's a wonderful rebuild.
@SeppJuice handlebar is renthal fatbars man. Theres 2 sets in the vid, the first one is the Carmichael or whatever version. The second is just straight fatbars.
already out of the car I understand that the person you are! I like that car too and indestructible! I know because my father had a car like that!
@aL3410 wheels are from a DTX125 an, good luck with the build !
crazy smile on ur desk at 1:33 :P
best looking DT 125 R i have ever seen :)
Good job :P
Gran restauracion me gusto como quedo la maquina ahora a rodar...
Amazing job
First thing is to make sure it either has a V5 or/and frame numbers. DT's are stolen and wrecked everyday so be careful looking.
Holy shit dude. You have awesome bike!
simply impressive...!!!!!!!
holy shit all those genuine bolts/nuts etc must of cost a bomb >
Certainly did!!
@Mugensieki cheers man for some reason i couldn't get the other sites to work!! but this one does!! Will have a look through and see if i can find it all :) cheers for the info
Hi man, when i had seen this video i said only one think "fu*k"... you are amazing and this is pretty nice bike... I own one if this wonderfullmachine and i want to rebuild it too... so you gave me inspirations for that, thank you for this video
Sehr sehr gail weworden. Gratulation
Avon's man, still got them on as I hardly ride it, very good tyres for £160 the pair with tubes
THanks,I have like a million questions for you,I need to rebuild my DT as well,so next one.
Where did you get the non slip (gripper seat) for it?
I can only find the YZ,KX ETC ones,I don't know if they would be big enough
sick end result man
Totaly awesome mate well done ;)
Go on UK ebay and type in DT 125 fender, you'll see them from a guy in Portugal. It's called a HPIRES rear
WOW this is awasome!

Sick bike man dosent look like a dt ha I'm thinking of doing my 96 dtr turning it into an SM was wondering were you got them wheels from?
looks awesome!
that's really fucking great man..so cool..looks unique.
God damn, that bike is so epic!*__*
This one is true, it goes into furnace so it will burn the bearing grease
Dude that bike looks sick
wow amazing job !!
Dude !!! amazing !!!! what are the plastics you are using ? and the seat ? looks so much better than the oldschool look and Quasimodo seat the original bike got.
iirc the plastics were from Portugal and the seat was an original one i just trimmed down a recovered the make it a bit more slimline to match the rear fender, thanks!
