  I remember back when i first got my dtr and the first thing i did was take the sticky old tape off my wiring loom, and replaced each bad wire one at a time, and removed all traces of the indicators, as i use my arms and i used to go off road alot, lookinh forward to seeing your progress!!

  @Calum thanks for replying,about the cdi restriction,the past owner did derestrict the cdi and it worked fine untill the bike started having problems,also i could definitely feel the difference before the problems when i disconnected the earthed wire so im sure it's not that(i was curious what was the difference),i also checked the wire when it started to have this problem and it looks fine. I will also add that i derestricted the exhaust about a month after i got the bike and the bike still didn't have any problems ,in fact it actually worked much smoother About the electric start issue what should i do,i would know how to bypass the sidestand switch but not the clutch and neutral switch(i don't know where the neutral switch is)

  They are all my bikes and all duplicates for now....easier to keep looking/buying over here in Europe than restoring to mint, and cheaper! I've been collecting since 2003 when these bikes already seemed quite old, add another 15 years, wow where's the time gone.....A little bit of a pension sorted anyway. Loads of regrets not buying certain bikes over the years and I remember them all, originally too expensive when I was skint not working, then eventually not enough space. Mint blue DT200R for 1500 euros in Belgium back then. Several CRM125 cheap. My TS250X was only 800 euros about 4 years ago. These came out of the garage when the sun finally appeared the other day to have a tidy up and get an RD on my new Sky-lift ( I'm getting old) which is an excellent piece of kit. I sold a vintage exhaust on ebay for nice money so didn't feel guilty. I would never keep this many bikes in England though, let alone publish them.

  @declan I thought about those but could not find the right one's with the tachometer. I just looked again and found these which would most likely fit; https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DT125-DT125R-Speedometer-Kilometer-Odometer-Mechanical-Gauge-Tachometer-Instrument-km-h-for-Yamaha-ENDURO-DT125-R/32958409291.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.2.144631ad5eUs7B&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_4_10065_10068_10130_10890_10547_319_10546_317_10548_10696_10190_453_10084_454_10083_10618_10307_10820_10303_537_536_10902_10059_10884_10887_321_322_10103,searchweb201603_6,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=f3d042f7-1370-4ac5-9e3b-c0648184f0e8-0&algo_pvid=f3d042f7-1370-4ac5-9e3b-c0648184f0e8

  Why you running a copper head gasket? They still need sealant IIRC. Just use genuine or Athena head gasket.

  @declan Bike theft is everywhere in the UK No Exceptions. The law needs to come down hard on it in my opinion. It's disgraceful

  @shaunp1912 The DTR's, unlike the E, don't generate enough power to operate the electrical components properly. A flat battery, even on an E, causes issues with the valve. So that sounds like your problem.

  No, all DT125RE's came with YPVS installed. Older 80's DT's, maybe with valves. I've seen a good number of 90's DT's without as well. But the majority of them out there have YPVS installed.

  Interestingly, had a new MOT on 5 November. Lost 5,000(+) miles off its mileage, so either had new clocks or up for sale soon with lower mileage.
