Engine Rebuilt, Now wont start, and makes horrible dump valve sound when turned off

@Calum my dtr doesnt have a servo style powervalve, it has the old style where you set it how you want it. Therefore dont think the ignition would move it. I agree the switch shouldnt have any effect on the dump noise but it deffo did. Bit weird, hence why i think i might have wired it up wrong somehow

@jamesdowning It's nothing to do with Age about having a powervalve on a DTR.
Since the LC's were fitted with YPVS Servos.
The earlier models were about proving you had the appropriate license to have one. The later models were restricted in other ways, but kept the servo.
-
@Calum So a 97 dtr can be fitted with a servo? Bit confused mate haha
-
@jamesdowning Yeah, the older models ran an independent 3 wire servo. Unlike the 5 wire ones on the later models.
Having a servo is well worth it. All benefits no cons.

@DTR-NSR thanks! checking for a spark will be next on the cards! If theres no spark does anyone know the most likely causes? Or is that a stupid question? Guess theres plenty of reasons for not getting a spark?
-
I imagine the sound you heard was like the first few seconds of this vid?
In that bike's case it was the bottom end on the way out and there was play in the conrod but obviously shouldn't be the case with your bike.
Could be compression related though I guess.. Did you get your cylinder checked for correct sized piston?

@jamesdowning Here's how to check if the plug sparking or not? Take it out, connect it to the HT lead and place the tip against a metal surface. Crank the bike with the kick starter and look for a spark, it will be very visible for a split second. If there's a spark then the plug is getting voltage, if there's nothing then you have an electrical problem.
