Yamaha Tdr 125

[marko67]

Bloody hell not seen one of them in years spent my teenage years blowin them up  :rotflmmfao:  along with the good old kmx125, mtx125 and ts125, aprillia sport pro 125, rg250, nsr125 holy christ I blew up everything I had back then ffs, spent many a night replacing piston and rings in my mothers kitchen with the bike in bits on the floor and she never complained once, I suppose she was happy knowing I spent everything on bikes and not on drink and drugs.

 

Anyhoo if the engine is in good nick buy it everything else can be made good, love the old 2 smokes  :good:

Lol. Parallel lives.

 

If the TDR tiddler is a DT engine then it would be feasible to slot a DT 230 or WR 200 motor in it. All the same family.Our DT 230 is allegedly over 40hp, it goes like a cut cat.

 

As said above, it's the bottom end of the motor and power valves that need to be checked. Should be loads of parts available.

 

I had my DT 230 re-built after drowning it in a creek, parts for top and bottom end, bearings, seals, piston kit ect was about $800 NZ, from Japan.

 

The motors are reliable with good maintenance but running quite lean on the auto oiler and stock jetting don't like top speed testing on motorways.Bigger main jet helps flow more fuel to keep the piston crown cooler.
