Hi and hello, first time biker but messed on fields as a kid.
Can anybody tell me what the e stands for on a DT 125 re ??
+ I'm about 5.8 ish and I'm a bit nervous about the height of my new bike.
Is there a DIY way to lower it. It's an 05 DT 125 re ?
Brand new to bikes so idiots guide answer prefered. 
Cheers

the 'e' stands for electric, basicly it means it has an electric start aswell as a kick start.
This will help you out with your height queries:

hi there
i had the same problem as you, except my dt was too high 
the only way to higher or lower the bike is to make some new suspension links.
If you look under your swingarm you will find these.

The ones im holding are the original yamaha ones, ones on my bike are the custom ones.
The longer they are the lower the rear end.
So, if you want to make it higher all you would have to do is make the suspension links shorter.
Oh and make sure you loosen your chain alot before you put them on 
hope this helps.
