So thanks to Paddy, Iain and Nemo it arrived. Really crap weather, but we got there in the end. Down an old farm track heading towards a barn, expecting to get slaughtered, then he dug this out of a cupboard (literally).

It idles fine, revs ok though we didn't rev it that hard. It's got no chain on currently, most of the mechanicals seem ok, Paddy and Iain fap'ing over the state the forks were in. It has no electrics, all removed. But all panels are there, the rear mudguard appears damaged, frame number is intact. Apparently it was stolen, then recovered two years later, it had sat there ever since. No immediate plans, but I'd quite like to get it on the road properly. Then use it as a green laner which I don't need to transport. ____________________ Currently: Yamaha DT 125 LC2,Repsol Fireblade, and Bumblebee MSX 125 |

Worst photo of me ever, look so displeased
Very clean bike for being stolen/recovered and chucked in a shed for years. |

How do I apply for the reg Iain? You did tell me, but I was somewhat euphoric at the time. Ordered a chain from Wemoto. £16.94 delivered
Thought I'd sling the chain on as it stands and see what state the clutch/gearbox is in. I want to drop the gearbox oil and see what it's like, what can I use temporarily, I've got various engine oil, fork oil. ____________________ Currently: Yamaha DT 125 LC2,Repsol Fireblade, and Bumblebee MSX 125 |

10w40 is better than nothing in the gearbox. Will do it no harm, especially as its what goes in your own gearboxes on your other bikes |

It seems to involve a V55/5, from what I can tell. The link you sent specifically says in the application that you need to know the reg and various other bits. Basically that is to apply for a vehicle that is/or has been on the road recently. So insurance write-off's those sort of things. Or just plain lost documents. ____________________ Currently: Yamaha DT 125 LC2,Repsol Fireblade, and Bumblebee MSX 125 |

Not sure of any 3rd party firms that do it, but the HPI at work does.
Other option is calling up plod & explain the situation perhaps? I'll ask. ____________________ Please be aware that the above post may be full of complete nonsense.

I must admit, electrics (particularly fault finding) are my least favourite thing, so I would consider 80 quid small beer, if it got me something that matches the available wiring diagrams.
But if you're happy, go for it, as you say, they aren't the most complicated bike in the world. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

Ah it's the mechanicals that are my learning curve, so you can imagine how I felt when Paddy kicked it over and it was sounding healthy straight away. That means I just need to service it, clean the carb etc. ____________________ Currently: Yamaha DT 125 LC2,Repsol Fireblade, and Bumblebee MSX 125 |

That's the great thing about a two stroke single, you could strip that down to the crank and rebuild it in half a day, if you take it slowly. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

That's going to be a great little restoration project, and I really rate the Mk2 DT125LC with it's 12v electrics and a disc brake. I'd say it's a worthy adversary to the MTX125, TS125X and the KMX.
Cosmetically it won't be cheap to make like a show queen if that is your intention, but trail bikes are never cheap to get cosmetics sorted really.
I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress! |

As I said to someone today, not a restoration, I don't have the patience and the knowhow. I want to put it all back together and get it on the road, cheaply but sympathetically. So keeping it standard where possible, but if I have to cut corners with parts that look different to get it up and running I will.
It'll make a great green laner. ____________________ Currently: Yamaha DT 125 LC2,Repsol Fireblade, and Bumblebee MSX 125 |

I have a few old wiring looms from scrapped bikes so if there is something missing just ask.
RS Components sell packs of red male and female connectors that I use with a ratchet crimper for modifications to wiring looms.The packs are a lot cheaper from RS than the small packs you see on the shelf of places like Halfreuds.It may well be better to solder two wires together and use shrink wrap around the joint then use self-amalgamating tape to keep everything together.
I have some other DT125LC bits and pieces in my spares box so if you come across something you need then PM me ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?
