  @Calum Thank you saved me some time looking around as I bought a dt and within less than 3 days it blew up and needed a top end rebuild and also the electrics and the water pump needed redoing hence why I wanted the '94' manual

  My graphics on my RE are TMX. Fitted them about 8+ years ago and they're still holding up really well.

  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.

  It's probably fine. I'd just do a compression test make sure it's within tolerance and schedule in a top end refresh if you don't know when it was last done. Generally though, the DTR is a pretty strong engine so it's damn reliable.

  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.

  Frame has been repaired by my Dad all welded up and he's managed to paint it for me as well.

  So this has been a big help and will at least allow me to throw the bike back together.

  He has gone to extensive efforts on this well, as well as welding the frame, he has purged the frame of any remaining acid that was left in by the previous powdercoaters.

  Followed by then filling the frame with Waxoyl to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

  By no means a perfect job, the bike was never intended to be concourse (hell my DT is looking worse for wear now having been refurbished nearly 10 years ago).

  But overall he's put a lot of work in for me and I'll be glad to have it back and rebuilt.

  Hopefully get this back next month and then start reassembling it 😃

  Also took delivery of the Gianelli (Now Arrow) end can to compliment the expansion chamber.
