Inherited a DT125

[wots]

Know nothing about it currently, should be arriving in a few days. Been left on a farm in a barn for a few years.

I don't have any more details than above, other than that the engine runs but clutch/chain/sprockets gone (unsurprisingly).

Iain's thread has inspired me a bit and fancy a rebuild project. What do I need to consider?

At a few years stood, a rebuild.

My RS was rebuilt, left for 8 months, by that time condensation, air, moisture had got inside, ruining the bearings and perished the seals as no lovely oil was flowing round them.

Be a good fun project, road legal or not?

If it's been offroaded then i'd be looking carefully at bearings, and checking the engine carefully for being mucked about with - instant gasket is a dead giveaway that whatevers behind it is likely to be buggered.

Fork seals, head bearings, wheel bearings and the shock linkage. If it's been stood then budget on an engine rebuild in the near future as apparently the seals can go off.

Does this mean you'll be coming greenlaning?

It's this apparently, down to colour too. He googled and found an image on BCF, LOL.

push it...you might end up having thighs like tree trunks though

[garth]

Sell it to me.

I currently have wine gums and half a cup of sex piss to sweeten the deal.

Obviously, I have given consideration to your more than generous offers, as I haven't seen it yet it would be totally wrong of me to accept.

With regret, do one!

I bought a DT125LC II for £25 after it had stood in a garden uncovered for four years.It was in a pretty sorry state

It was stripped,cleaned and new parts bought for it.Many parts only needed a clean,like the seat,which polished up nicely after using some cream cleanser usually used for cleaning the kitchen sink.The engine ran perfectly,with no problems.It was sold on as I had no need for another bike,and the new owner was really chuffed with it

That looks fabulous, when I get it I can see what it's like and figure out what to do next.
