manskin Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I see alot of posts about the deristriction of DT125's and I would like someone to clarify something up for me. Does the power valve move on all bikes when the ignition is turned on like in this video. http://www.dtr125.net/videohtml/ypvs/DT_YPVS_Operation.avi If so how can I diagnose why my power valve is not moving Thanks Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be many things from a badly adjusted cable through bad connections to blown control electronics. Best option is get your head in a manual that will give you a few test procedures to run through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply I have had a look in the Service Manual http://www.dtr125.net/workshop-manuals/Yamaha_DT125X_RE_05_Service_Manual.pdf which is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, I also managed to get a working servo and it is doing the same as the old one, which leads me to the control unit???? Unless others know better? Cheers Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the bike has lots of top end, no bottom and its eating fuel, so I went to check the setting on the powervalve cables and reset if needed. However the powervalve did not reset when I turn the key like in the link above. So I removed the servo and even with out any load it did the same, so I managed to get my hand on a working unit and it has done the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you HAVE checked the fuses as my old RD and the TDR i have now, both have fuses specifically for the YPVS (powervalve) system. There are testing methods for the servo and the potentiometer in the system but the only info i have is for the old RD and my TDR250 (yes i do keep manuals)which have basically the same system but the testing is different. I don't know what the changes have been for the newer stuff and i don't want you to damage electrical components on the basis of bad advice. The link you posted for the manual just makes my PC sulk, so i can't see what the changes are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
