Seem to be more for Enduro riding, so probably a YZ 125 would be a good fit. The DRZ 125 is also a good choice.

A friend is looking for a 125 dirtbike for his son. He stays in Pretoria. I dont know much about dirtbikes so would welcome any advice which i can pass on to him. What would you guys recommend for a starter 125 dirtbike? YZ125, DRZ125, CR125, RM125......and why? If anyone has some offroad...

@Manic On a recent pothole filled road trip i saw a disportionate number of Ford Raptors in a short space of time and was wondering why....until i saw a few of them go through pot holes and over road trenches without slowing down much. Awesome suspension those things have.

Yes, just two different models of BST carb, but the choke fitment is the same.

Yes

Just buy a DR350 choke from Suzuki. Also for a BST carb and fits perfectly. Better than that hand operated lever and cable.

XR 650R....if you can find one.

Ryan's thoughts

Lekker trip(y) Was planning something similiar but the weather did not play along at the time. Lower Lotheni on a nice day is something special.

Thanks @Jughead for the explanation and clarification. It was such a noticible difference that i was curious as to the cause. Makes sense(y)

Ek het eers templates gemaak uit tin plaat en toe twee stukke 3mm polycarbonate gekoop en toe vrou nie kyk nie dit in haar oond gevorm oordie templates. Bleddie thermofan het bubbles in plastiek gemaak. As jy n beter oond het wat uniform hitte kan gee kan dit baie mooi uitkom. Lekker lig en...

Does half a DR count?:) Wheel and drive train being attended to and sidecovers being made.

Yip, or serious neglect over many years. Probably a bit of both. Wicked Rides in Pretoria North can apparantly resleave the hubs, but they not open on Saturdays. Trying to make a plan to get it there at the moment.

Jy moet versigtig wees. Toe ek vrou eerste keer vat vra sy my na n paar dae of hierdie n vakansie of n survival course is. Ek het toe maar bietjie gerem en seker gemaak daar is genoeg vir haar ook. Daarom die voorstel om Swakop en Langstrand toe te gaan en rerig vakansie te gaan hou die eerste...

Thanks @2StrokeDan - i have been reading up on that. I think the previous owner just tried the identations without also applying a retaining compound in support. I could see no signs of any residue and the bearing just dropped out. I see there are a few choices - Loctite 638/641or 660 might...

Bearing diameter is, as far as my primitive calipher can tell, 47.05mm. Perhaps i can get a 47.1mm bearing. Will have to ask the bearing shop. Chances are slim though.

Went and re-checked.The bearing just freely drops into the bearing hub on the disc side which has the (now confirmed deliberate) indentations....f@ck. Other side still has some resistance. What is worst that can happen if i refit the old bearings and ride it like that until i can find a...

59k en hy het n rowwe lewe gehad.

That makes a lot of sense. Dont know what the measurements should be but will ask Ms. Google. Probably will need to start looking for another rear wheel that is in better condition. Not something that is easy to find though.

With bike on the stand and rear wheel of the ground, selecting a gear is a bit crunchy. Take the chain and sprocket off the countershaft, however, and gear selections are as smooth as butter. Bit of a puzzler. Is the difference the load on the shaft (wheel, sprockets and chain) not being...
