My RE lights would run regardless of engine running, until I swapped out the Zeeltronic.

@SpookDog this might be it i'll have a llok at it bc after that start the bike won't start again like that if i dont let i rest some minutes

I started working on it 🙂

@HOTSHOT-III thanks, I already emailed them, they say I can easily convert it to a 5 wire, was only asking because all the people here talking about a zeeltronic had a newer dtr than mine with a worse cdi, but if zeeltronic is better I will order one.

@Calum what would be considered high temperature on one of those?

@Calum

Good info👍 A brand that you know that has compatibility and works!…

It’s always better to learn from other peoples mistakes than your own, I recon 🙂 …

@DTR-NSR

I haven’t gotten my head around it yet 🙂 but that was my impression…

@Scootjockey said in DT125r in a Kart:

@Markk
I wouldnt bother with the DT motor unless you really feel the need, they are better lighter smaller kart motors available for the job. It would be a chew on setting the chassis up with the gear box drive position then your looking at seating position exhaust gearing brakes etc etc. Having taken my son Karting from an early age and spending thousands on bambino and cadet class and that was just for fun at weekends not going down the racing route, The 125 is a different league and bigger financial pockets are required. It’s a nice thought but unless you're chassis builder and have access to a workshop I just wouldn’t go there. But if you want to do something original as a gimmick which you’ll never get an MOT for and the Feds would crucify you if they caught you on anything that looks remotely dodgy. I’d just leave well alone IMO.

Thanks for the reply, karts built, we do have a workshop/fab shop etc. The karts just a toy for my son who learns by building them. This one is a different beast and has defo been a challenge. We have done a few test days, indoor and outdoor and now we are just ironing out the niggles like YPVS not working above.
Does the CDI regulate/rectify the generator output itself?

Did you resolve this issue a while back?

@HOTSHOT-III

Damn, I was kinda hoping it was just me. Then it’d be fixable! 😜
I brought a rectifier for a later yam cause I thought mine looked like a fleabay job replacement. The connector block is slightly melted on the loom side, so I thought the old original one had suffered a meltdown!...

I’ve had a few different bulbs and I think they all do the dim, at least the halogen ones. It was just more noticeable when I had an Osram night breaker fitted! Can be bloody scary & dangerous sometimes when it dims while the oncoming dipshit with the HID bulbs is dazzling you with high beams! 🤨

I wish I understood electrics better than I don’t 🤪

@HOTSHOT-III Yeah, I only use Linux and Firefox.

@Calum I'll give it a look thanks mate

@markus-w Hi markus, thats very kind of you, i have found a screengrab of the wiring online, i have also managed to get a spark from the loom (whats left of it) unfortunately, the whole ignition has been bypassed so it will run without any keys, but at least i have a spark! Also thanks to callum for fixing my links.👍

@dan28

It changes from light blue to blue according to Haynes manual. Only change I can see. Don’t take the wire placements literally on the diagram. The wire colours don’t align to the plugs...

Is there a problem with your neutral light or were you just wondering about the manual? Cause the manual (bless it’s cotton socks) is full of fekin mistakes if you look long and hard enough. I thought my bike was supposed to have a 26mm flatslide! 🙄 ...

I’ll definitely put a decent one on, probably off of a late model Yamaha 125 with a 9 amp battery. The one I have on is a cheap replacement, judging by the plastic connector and cable quality it’s Chinese 🙄

@spookdog said in Kill switch doesn't work:

I thought only electric start bikes had them though

It's a DTX (2005) so yeah, it has electric starter.
Ty for your answers. I hope that this post help someone else. That's the point of forums 🙂

@dan28 no, assuming you mean the level sender in the oil tank, you can just unplug it and the bike will still run fine

@yannikmeister thanks for your help I found out why indicators not working the relay box had been snapped off just leaving connection and no box and yes it was behind the headlight cheers
