  1. well after a bit of bad luck with my exhaust snapping in 2 places ,I replaced the battery as the old one was pooped and noticed the main 10 amp fuse was blown, changed that then found 3 places where the wiring loom was chafing on the frame and sorted them out now the fuse keeps blowing after about 4 miles of riding ^^ , not sure what to do ,
  2. I'll just buy a new one dude, its been on it a while
  3. yea I got headlights and brake lights , but the battery looks poop
  4. I've been off work for the last week with chemical burns to my legs and thought I would take the bike out for a little ride today , so I haven't found the bad earth on the bike I posted about the other day, now I have no indicators today and about half way through my ride I lost my power band , one second It was working fine then ( no power band ) it revs up fine and just as its about to kick in it just goes does nothing , the bike runs fine other than that, no spluttering or anything , now just a thought but could all this be down to a bad battery or something ?
  5. Hi guys, been a while since I've been on because I've been flat out with a house move and new job, since I was here last my beloved Dtr has had new head gasket new wheel bearings , clutch cable and a nice new set of tires, now not being the best mechanic in the world I have had a go at these and nothing has fallen off it yet lol, ( but ) now I have an electrical problem , when I indicate left its fine but indicate right and all the lights go nuts , is there an easy way of finding the problem or have I got a proper headache on my hands lol ? another little problem I had was when the clutch cable snapped , the actuator popped up, so I popped it back in , is this a bad sign or is it ok ? the clutch is working fine by the way ,, Thanks
  6. cheers for the response guys I got a strong feeling it might be the reg/rec unit and I think I can get one for around £30 from my local bike dealer , and I love the Idea you had for the bulb monitor NE0 well cool and I will be keeping a bicycle LED in my bag from now on , I'm going to have a quick look over the electrics this morning so I'll keep you posted on what I find
  7. HI guys, after a snapped exhaust and a broken ankle I have finally managed to get back on my DTR after about 3 months, so I noticed I only had full beam on the headlight and my tail light had blown so I got a couple of each ,fit one and keep a spare in the shed, anyway all was well when I fitted them but when I got home I noticed the back light had blown again so fitted a new one again it worked but as it was standing there I revved the bike and puff the bloody thing went again , so it seems to be when I revv the bike I blow the back lights, any idea what is causing this? and how to fix this. rather annoying this as its dark when I go to work and dark when I come home and its not a good Idea to ride with no lights
  8. will give the sprocket a try , thanks guys
  9. hey guys, just wondering if anybody knows why I can get my bike to just over 75 mph in 5th but as soon as I change up to 6th I lose all power and the speed will drop to about 58mph ? cheers,
  10. emailed both company's and got reply's today and neither of them do the kit I want as its to new for them
  11. I cant find any on ajsutton!! might have to go down to my local yamaha dealer and re mortgage my house to buy a kit lol
  12. they look cool, but I want to try and get the original ones
  13. What a shit day I had today , rode into work this morning on my DTR 125 and when I got there and started to push my bike in the building I thought to myself, " Hang on there Taff, something isn't right there" and then it poped in there!! , the bloody side fairing is missing on my bike WTF!!!!! that was enough to put me in a shit mood for the day , anyway, on the way home 8 hours later I took my time and rode slow the 10 miles all the time looking for the plastic, and about half way I seen a mangled bit of plastic on the side of the rode and thought could it be!! , YES!!!! it was my plastic although it looked like a million cars had wheel spun on it and a little bit of a crack on it I can fix this bad boy and make it look like new, all but the sticker for it . and to top it all off, I got home with a massive smile on my face only to be slapped back down by my wife with the words " where's the little bit of black plastic gone off the front of your boot " Yes! the nylon slider has gone off the front of my SIDI boot . anyway, back to the point of the post, anybody know where I can get a sticker kit for my bike not to expensive , btw i have a DTR but its made to look like a DT125X.
  14. not ever having to put any in before and was wondering what the ratio of coolant to water is? thinking of giving the bike a nice big service and would like to know a couple of things before i go ahead and this is one, thanks
