hi, ive got a dtr 125 03, when i bought it the cdi was not giving a spark, so i wired up a 05 cdi no joy(i was getting a spark when i kicked it but not when i bumped it which i thought was strange. so i bought the same as the original cdi a 3rm-20 which is also full power cdi.im getting a spark when i kick it and i is trying to start. but when i push the bike in gear it doesnt give a spark, just cant get my head round this. im starting to think there is a problem with maybe the coil or rectifier or god forbit the magnito.what do u think would cause this. also does anyone know the minimum wiring required to run a dtr with power valve??? i have no batt on it but dont think that matters, seens as the magneto gives power please help thanks

when i bougtt it there was no spark and i won a cdi for pennies on ebay the 05 cdi. the breakers said that it would run on my bike, so i wired up the reg and all the wires from the mag, these colours were the same. thanks

hi, ive wired a 05 cdi(1D0 - 00) into my 03 dtr 125, when i kick it it sparks, and fter many hours of working on it i decided tobump it wih the plug out i get a few parks then nothing , weired. does anyonehave any ideas on what im missing, the colours were different. i wired all the wires coming from the mgneto, whats the minimum wiring needed to run my dtr??? the orignal cdi was a 3rm - 20) im probably missing something or wired more than i need. ive tried a few different combinations an most give a spark but none give more than th odd spark when i bump it. thanks

hi, just bought a dtr 125 03 field bike, when i bought it , it wouldnt start. i tested to see if there was a spark and there wasnt. so i won a 05 cdi on ebay and wired it up. ive got it spaking when i kick it. ive replaced plug. cleaned carb and air filter. just haven non of it. ive even tried easy start just to get it going the first time, no luck. tried bumping it loads. when im kicking it over smoke is coming from the exhaust, so someting is happening, but its not firing up. im banging my head against the wall. just cant think what else it could be. cdi is producing a good spark but i cant help thinking maybe not good enough. please help. it wasgaraged for 3 years. i havnt wired up the power valve but i dont think its position would effect starting????? chris
