Supporting the motorcycle
Since the Yamaha DT125R has no
centerstand, follow these precautions
when removing the front and rear
wheel or performing other mainte-
nance requiring the motorcycle to
stand upright. Check that the motor-
cycle is in a stable and level position
before starting any maintenance. A
strong wooden box can be placed
under the engine for added stability.
Front wheel service
To stabilize the rear of the motorcy-
cle, either use a motorcycle stand or
place a motorcycle jack under the
frame in front of the rear wheel to
prevent it from moving from side to
side. Then use a motorcycle stand to
elevate the front wheel off of the
ground.
Rear wheel service
Use a motorcycle stand or motorcycle
jack to elevate the motorcycle so the
rear wheel is off the ground.
Alternatively, two jacks can be placed
under the frame or swingarm.
