NiCad

Thanks. It has 6 filler caps. Which fits with the bulbs and the flasher. So bad regulator maybe? Only getting 7v from it. Ill take it out tomorrow and look for a part number. The part list I have definitely lists 6v parts. Different markets perhaps? Mine is Australian.

Hi Guys. New here and new to bikes in general. I currently have a '93 DT175 that needs a little love. I need to replace the battery but am not sure if it's a 6v or 12v system. The battery has all its markings worn off but measures a little under 6V. With the battery removed I get about 7v on the terminals while idling. Because if this I initially assumed it was a 6v system. However, All the bulbs installed are 12v. Only one indicator works and the flasher relay is struggling. The service manual says to use 12v bulbs and a GM3-3B 12v battery. Also if I check a different part manual the battery has part number 1E6-82110-12 which Google says is a 6N6-3B-1 6v Yuasa. Googling 'DT175 battery' tends to point me towards 6v batteries. Very confused. Can anyone offer some advise? One of the manuals has to be wrong. Thanks
