DT125 Lights

Im just wondering if there is any way i can change my lights to run from the battery than running from the engine.... at tickover you can hardlly see the lights :shock:

Any help appreciated

The lights are fed from the lighting coil. The wire from the coil should be Yellow with a red stripe. It changes colour at a connection block to a brown wire that then goes up into the switch. You can remove the yellow/red wire at this connector (tape it up) and connect a feed from either the battery (always on) or from the brown wire that comes from the ignition switch (only on when the key is turn on). I would use a brown from the ignition to the brown wire that goes up into the lighting switch.

Personally i would fit an after market front on, as i know how crap the standard lights are even when the engine is running! I remember seeing a front think it was an acerbis one which had proper bulbs too :wink: and was about £40

i have an after market one its just that i dont like the idea of having no lights when the engines not running.

where can i get a bigger battery from? capacity wise

any idea what my charging current is???

You can fit a car battery if you can find somewhere to fit it !

Charging current is somewhere around 7amps @ 5,000rpm.

Mmmm, I don't want too pay much. It's for a DTR that I'm most likely selling anyway.
