    Forum patched and updated. Fixed some database corruption issues which was having a knock-on effect with emojis so hopefully they're working now.

    Hey All! Due to personal circumstances I will be needing to suspend the DT125R Forum for an indeterminate amount of time. This is an advance notice to say that at some point, in the not to distant future, I will be switching off this forum. My intention is to relocate the forum/database hosting as the current situation is no longer economically viable. It is unclear at the moment as to what the future will be for this forum, but rest assured it will be back online in the fullness of time. I appreciate each and every one of you that contributes to this forum so there is a BIG thank you from me. Take care & keep smoking! Calum

    Hi, thanks for your reply. The side stand sw and the whole interlock chain should be good. I even bypassed all of that by grounding the blue yellow wire to the CDI directly. The crimp contacts of the orange and black cable to the ignition coil is also new (forgot to mention). I have nothing to measure the compession. But the engine was always making good power. Also just 1min before it died. I mean in the end is bad compression not preventing spark or am I mistaken? Edit: Water issues could be excluded. I live in South Spain and if it rains two weeks per year that's a lot. And I never drive in wet conditions. I also never really wash it with lots of water. The only other thing I realized ove the past year is that I needed the choke to start it more and more. But it was always perfectly running after 1min driving. So I thought it could be something like weak spark issue. Like something died over time till it's finally dead.

    What specifically do you mean by cut? The Tachometer is mechanically driven on the DTR. So you need to replace the tachmeter cable back into the gearbox and the clocks. If you mean the lights etc, then there are many wiring diagrams already uploaded to this forum.

    It sems to have potential, even if I still have a bad carb, and PV and ignition are just based on butt dyno. Riding with a friend today I realized how slow his bike seemed, he was keeping up fairly well before, but now I felt like I was puttering around for him to keep up I have had a creeping feeling that maybe the reeds were damaged, and not the carb, so I pulled them out and checked them today, but they were fine. (VF4 clone for CR125 with DIY Polini 0.35mm petals). Can't wait to try another carb on it, feels like I have done a million mods and adjustments on that POS carb by now.. I was not so familiar with the PWK's before, but by now I know them in and out BTW, temp was perfect during the ride.
