    Hi! What’s the best way of removing the twin short bronze bushes from the rear suspension linkage, also the ones on the swingarm? One gets in the way of the other so I can’t press them out. I’ve tried heat and ‘hammer & screwdriver’ approach, so as to get to the other, but to no joy… Cheers for any help, advice. I couldn’t find sh!t on the search engine…

    @gazza76 sorry for the late reply, after getting the multimeter out, mine was a black earth issue, so inside the loom i had 1 wire was dead, this was the black runing from the loom to the connector block for the side stand, i also then had a Black terminal on the nutural relay at the back that was not creating a connection. maybe it helps you, easiest way i found was mulitmeter to the frame earth point at the coil. and stick the meter in contunaty mode, should beep when you touch the prongs together. and then probe all the black earths across the loom. Cheers

    Well are you sure it's beyond repair? I mean it has to be pretty bad for that to be the case?

    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.

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