will standard levers for another bike fit, such as an R6 ? have a look at one if you get chance and if so pick one up from ebay

Cant wait for part 5, sunglasses at the ready

You have said this a couple of times NEO but actually the majority of Dt175's had only one source coil, all the later square section swing arm ones. Of course they were different spec and a different CDI but worked equally as well, maybe better

Kev just type : welcome : but take the space out from the colons and the word welcome

Greetings Rui,

gorgeous

Like yours more Drewpy, Mine was a Cortina 1500 mk 1, spent a fortune on it, put new big end shells in it myself only to find it failed its MOT due to knackered steering rack...that was the end of that

Healed Grandma and grandpa were watching a religious healing program on tv. The evangelist called to all who wanted to be healed, to put one hand on the tv and the other on the body part they wanted healed. Grandma hobbled to the tv and put one hand on the tv and the other on her arthritic hip.Grandpa made his way to the set and put one hand on the tv and the other on his crotch.Grandma looked at him with disgust. "you just don't understand, you old coot.....the purpose of this program is to heal the sick, not raise the dead."

Greetings Chewy would love a go of your SR500, definitely a knack to starting those so I guess your bike is safe from the mrs

Greetings Steve How are you liking it?

No....SIR Truth is I cant remember what he said about your marine corps, it's a long time since I saw it. But the guy is extremely funny from the beginning right the way through from what I remember, definitely a tour guide with a difference.

What on earth is pep boys ? 12v 10w sounds about right to me at a guess nothing like the glow-worm 1.4w

I think he is referring to the 'Reach' DDT, the R125 does not have adjustable reach levers. I would do some research for them maff

Yeah thats the trouble with Americans, they cant take a bit of mickey taking, half the time it goes straight over their heads.

A quick guide to our heritage Mike

Dohh !!

Topic closed only kidding

Thinking about it though I might be wrong in believing that. The lighting /charging coils hace two windings, so by regulating one...depending on the construction of the coil maybe the other is regulated too... easy to prove this, just unplug the regulator and measure the battery voltage, if it rises considerably, it is indeed regulated by said regulator I better shut up

so is it a points model..?

This is how I understand it to be. The regulator has no other purpose than to stop you blowing headlight bulbs, it has no function in the charging of the battery, the battery simply acts as a soak as was common with many small bikes of the era. (essentially they are two circuits) it is an AC regulator and the headlamp (only) runs with AC. Great post so far NEO

if you know the part number of the correct CDI enter it into the 'boats.net' search box. if youre lucky it will say if it is common to others

yes then you need a 6 wire CDI so long as the stator only has ( ignoring lighting) 2 coils.

I would have thought a 79 bike needed a seven wire CDI. the clue is, is there a red wire from the magneto? if so its a 7 wire. well it is on uk bikes but not 100% sure on US models

are you really thin?

Excellent vid Drewpy
