Airhead

Ouch! Jason I think he might have meant 'turn it over' as in rotate the crank in the oil Still its a non starter unless he has a huuuge budget, and lots of time.

use the search function, there is a 'sticky' from when I did my DTR. The RE would be similar but you have to ground a wire from the CDI (green/black but check first)

Too much air in the tank?

+1 Canny lad only has 2 pins as he said in his opening post so its just a bog standard diode.

Greetings Brian Lovely bike, and California too...you got it made mate

great news mate. Cant help with the fuse question, why not buy a used manual from ebay, I couldnt own a bike without having a manual for it.

Greetings kenny

Nothing more powerful than a hairdryer mind...dont use a hot air gun Once you have a corner peeled up...play the heat near to the corner while gently pulling up the sticker.

Take a chill pill and check if its sparking, take it from there

I would go for the RE as it does look better. However I bought a 2003 DTR last year and it was most definitely money well spent, superb little bikes. Good choice and guaranteed to increase in value IMO Simon

Another £55 on parts Might as well forget it right now

Ohh my bent forks too? Theres one on ebay for spares...in yorkshire

Sad news Merv, heard tonight 3 motorcycles and a car in an accident up our way Take care everyone.

Greetings Alex , parts are quite rare and expensive now, look out for a good exhaust if yours is rough....a picture?

Drewpy has one too, just the job for rally's and the like

She's coming along nicely now, put the standard exhaust on last weekend for the first time since I removed the pipe in the header. My SM tailpipe?...well that needed re packing so instead of my usual re-pack using baffle wool (fiberglass) and packing it real tight like I have done for the last few generations I decided to try some filter sheet from work, looks a bit like the baffle sheet that is sold for purpose. Well I was shocked it felt a hell of a lot more torquey on the ride home but noisy, yep too noisy really so today I fitted a bog standard steel one, what a lovely sound, it's been so long I forgot what they sounded like...much more neighbour friendly and performing way better than the Gianelli / SM combo that was on last week, more than likely due to the silencer packing method I had used.

Yes it's at the bottom of the battery compartment, near the drive chain

Take the way you got no reading...was the red lead on the male connector?

I dont think you are supposed to split the caliper in that way, I think it should have been left sealed and you have damaged the seal.

Switch it to 2k Ohms and plug the leads black in com and red in the ohms socket. Now test the two connectors on the rectifier, you will see a reading one way only...verify this

I reckon the red goes to the male connector of the rectifier. Have you got a multimeter?

Are your wires red and white? isnt there male and female connectors on it that would prohibit getting it wrong? your wires, they have male and female connectors ...yes?

is there a diagram on it, like a triangle with a line across one of the points?
