boysireed23 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 hello i am chris reed from crook co.durham.. i have a dt125 re 0n 54 plate and i am having a few problems with it.. there seems to be a permanent live.. the ignition lights and head lights are on all the time even if i take the key out.. the bike will not start if i remove the key but it dose start if i put it in the off position . the bike will bump start and will start from another battery with jump leads..the battery is goosed i think as it only hold enough charge to power the lights it will not start it.. also when i am using the bike it will start to splutter and loose power sometimes it just conks out.. any help or comments would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hey chris well your ignition switch seam to be the problem. 1 it shoud not start in the off pos. 2 the light are controled by the switch as far as on and off. 3 A worn ign.switch can short out and cause the bike to stop running cough and sputter. The battery is also probable goosed as they can onlly be run flat so many times befor they die.You can try removing it and fully charge it then test it but I don't think that it will hold a charge any more.
