    Thanks mate, will defo look into the impact wrench. I was just hoping it was going to be a quick easy fix with the bits i already had purchased and was shocked to see it was completely different to what i was expecting. My bike is off road due to an accident and im moving house in the next week so the pressure is on as i have no transport for it. All the best

    Pressure Cap! I wouldn't believe it but I have seen it a few times. Always start off with something cheap and look at the more expensive items later.

    Measure across the pick up sensor. Make sure that you are getting current to trigger the CDI. You will want to follow that pulse from the pickup to the CDI. From the CDI you will see it go to the primary coil. From there it should go to the secondary mutal winding and out to the HT lead. It's as simple as that. Somewhere you are losing that signal.

    Well you should have checked the bearings at the same time. For up or down play.

    My aftermarket clocks reset to zero. Now my mot history is all over the place. I don't intend on selling the bike so makes no odds to me. Would be nice to see how many miles I have done in ten years though.

    @panmil92 I don't recall there being any certain type of weak point. Fairly bullet proof motors. It's just general items. Bearings, bushes and seals.

    @Calum said in reeds confusion ??: @Dingle74 I'm sure there is information on here about what can be used. Try using the search bar.. good pointe with the searchthing , but the searchfunction is not my new freind :crazy_face: when searching for reeds i get everything from pics of cracked seat to chain and wheel-questions :face_with_hand_over_mouth: so have just skimmed over lightly there was one post though sayin that wr dont fit and poster wanted to show a pic of the difference but sadly it didnt work for him

    I've got some eBay specials on mine, they were listed for the DT230 but fit ok. Might fit the DTR as well?
