    @Calum @raceraidan Interesting thread. I once owned a 1998 DT125RE French import which looked identical to a DT125R the same year (pic 1). It had a larger battery and separate toolikt compartment as well as the electric start wiring. [image: 52481614948_a84fb86893_b.jpg] During this time I was fortunate enough to source a Yamaha service manual for this exact model, I still have this and here are some pictures of the wiring diagram. I believe KTM also used this engine/electrical platform for the LC2 125 which they sold a lot of in Germany (I bought 2 or 3 3MB CDI units marked LC2 125 from German breakers, and also some NIP 3MB YPVS servos which had both the Yamaha and KTM part numbers on the packaging (sadly now all sold). During my ownership I tried all these items on the bike and they all just plugged into the loom (same connectors) and worked. I'm pretty certain the (inverted) flywheel and stator were both stamped 3MB. As you can see this model also has a clutch switch which IIRC, with the clutch pulled in, allows you to start the engine in gear even with the sidestand down, but cuts the ignition when you let out the clutch to try and pull away. If you've already looked at the sidestand switch I'd locate this and give it a dose of WD40 etc. as a starting point. Also the two relays (items 12 and 13) are worth a look although I'm not sure how you'd go about testing these. It might be of some help to just get some more and plug them in and try them. Here's a link to the KTM parts fiche; search Google/eBay etc. for the KTM part numbers as well as Yamaha France and you might get lucky with a European breaker as they can be quite diligent with posting up used parts for sale including the original numbers: https://www.trevorpopemotorcycles.co.uk/index.php?main_page=ktm_fiche_finder https://ypec-sss.yamaha-motor.co.jp/ypec/ypec/b2c/html5/app/en_GB/parts-search/index.html?ver=bd30d8f2-88bf-45bf-81ba-b46167a61f3c Here are some pics of the wiring diagram, not sure if the Gilera SC125 used the same electrical platform but hope this helps: [image: 53464155671_38fb444afb_b.jpg] [image: 53463243007_9a4dea8951_b.jpg] [image: 53464293058_21dae26cab_b.jpg]

    Frame looks same bottom end on tht looks like the dtr engine I have my 4hw has no cover over the oil pump and has some kind of make shift bracket for the oil cable. Looks like they chopped my frame and put a heavy duty swingarm on for that 4DL raised the coolant tank and put bat under the seat. Thats why I asked cause surely the 4 wires from the engine are the same or do I have to change the flywheel coil bit of forget its name now. I think i'll give it a bash as I got to remove the engine anyway if the mountings are the same and it wires up maybe I can put a DT rear sprocket on. Food for thought ive got to get the energy to get at it first i'll look over that cdi wiring diagrams thing you shared and go from there just hope the exhaust mounts dont throw it out of whack. I'm hands on so once got all the parts in sight i'll hopefully make sense of it all feel free to leave suggestions etc like I said before wish I had someone here to help me out going to be fun though so hopefully will give me more incentive.

    @hotshot-iii That's a very cool video and local to me too! A crated Banshee, wow what a museum piece. I had no affiliation with the Banshee prior to this build, but what a machine and what an era for motorcycling. All lost to time now and kids these days won't know the joys of machines like that.
