    Yeah looks like it's in need of some TLC. When the bikes in neutral all the lights should be on. As I say, that bike looks like it's got a lot of issues and working through those by restoring it to factory is what I'd do.

    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.

    Not a good weekend for projects sadly. Today felt like a good time to tackle the the gearbox rebuild. [image: AP1GczON28f-2MsafJeD5d-5vpCddgE_F7wvwMw4mUgLb2qd4IhmX86P39IsZ82b_iWLEnwRqePbVAtntY2GH_ynSVKF-Pj2PWn_o11HKdPfEkiASpdPOuL8lcdFL_PBfKHjAhmRSBCEGtLjRGsR2fvnMhUA=w1341-h1083-s-no?authuser=0] Input shaft stripped ready to lay the gears onto the 1st gear conversion. [image: AP1GczOIOkdYg_118U84DE74bmnWa2tQKSoRjs7q2MOk0Q5fzTisZFT3fIl-MQKf_FuyjrvEYTMzvxMkhDYxFqDSyI7_TcHsUlsHK2RMHJcIgquU3WpNel8Fhugb5EeV3yOXCvv07VUZmQfQuSEcscoq6L-0=w1920-h901-s-no?authuser=0] [image: AP1GczOalIT8UP8GvsIu6oaCiebY2y1koDXD4F2rR4NZNUMeZhXVep5MHVKU92rHWzH24zPCUFbygSgL6E50bZfOwWG7Jm06MIV3hEjj8kd54GM1CLMGcMtcyoZvWKled2_dqcZEUpRv4ArxwKagYBJ8p_au=w813-h1083-s-no?authuser=0] All rebuild, new bearings, shims and circlips. [image: AP1GczO0QU9H7znj-nhFz4Cy18H8C6M08FS17ilL7ci8C9UVT24jFQ3yAVfARsbqKWkbHVAmy-v82EmVU1LFPcYTp0BPrMOdINfIRPttvzDjPvQfG7TyEwS_t2lEg_DFnWm_IVWg1en5V51sbSJk1a2LyzbB=w1920-h956-s-no?authuser=0] So far, so successful. Next tackling the output shaft. [image: AP1GczM5AdnAIDxi9C0cdm6iB-EQHGx1JXF0L7cjDoDM0JZsEhucD3y83x0wSP59PILgj3EGebFH0sLD02_NWCU3n4QVScZlhIonncHAx9tsflH_A6oXPv8Z_lS381ccF8N9qaGcmDhGjs_Kk5859zBhub4l=w669-h1083-s-no?authuser=0] Was going extremely well...until it came to dismantle third. [image: AP1GczO2Xjf9Y9WDogyaSfLEhfo_IP15jgPuKi_7M_zm2hUgacLm0cejxlpzFvdjoRv-F2aEkWNmIHKT0OSxbMPm9edFoMeWjJ1NMlepxIUHz8myGNfoxzAHBacbnRjoXDwnuAeFOCrppphFla0WHSMRzuRy=w556-h1083-s-no?authuser=0] This was not coming off and the prognosis wasn't good. Rough running third gear with swarf coming out of it. [image: AP1GczM62rE4VM-9MSlHtq3hT_6tAjAGc24wkdjOxyvjaJynqnqa5B8AwuSffkKGCxUp8L6uAOtp4AhpDkOswpwC8IH-SWsKlEzs7co4o5C1LtMxj1aklyd7e86f6J2AmzKg1jLQaMLcTIvSvdvjOrAyIzXO=w890-h1083-s-no?authuser=0] The layshaft's damaged beyond repair and so was third gear. Luckily the layshafts can be had brand new and I managed to find third gear. So sadly that's the cost of a used gearbox, but then that tells me for scrimping on the gearbox. The layshaft's coming from Japan so I'll have to park this rebuild for now.
