    Yeah, it should be if it’s a numbers matching, righteous bike 🙂
    Has this bike ever been registered in the UK before? If it has I’d contact the DVLC and ask them. Or maybe try their website? If it’s not UK registered there are hoops you have to jump through that I know nothing about…
    Someone here will know though 🙂 …

      @SpookDog my relatives bought it in switzerland from a neighbour in 2006 i think and they imported it here in kosovo its should of been registered in swiss but by many chances we are the 2nd owners of the bike and that makes me think its a model that was exported to swiss

            Does your bike have a power valve servo fitted to it?

                Electric motor that the two cables come out of. Makes a noise when you turn the key.
                If you count how many wires the servo connector has you can date the bike…

                  @SpookDog are you saying the 2 cables that go from the power valve upwards to a black thing with wires?

                    The black thing with wires is the servo, yes! If it has 3 wires it’s an 1988 -1995 bike, if it has 5 it’s later…

                      More questions! Does your bike rev freely above 7000RPM? Does it have a standard exhaust, or an aftermarket one?…

                            @erion it is 1994. My 1999 DT125R french import says exactly that on the v5. But on Yamaha database it says RE. It's not electric start, I believe the E means it's a European model which were different in a few ways.

                                    @erion don't know much else about this year to be honest only some of the older European ones has a little washer type thing spot welded into the exhaust at the header to close it up and restrict it. Remove the exhaust and you'll see it if it's there.

                                        @erion Bro you need to chill 🤣 These bikes are incredibly simple. The fact of the matter to me seems like you are accepting a botched repair rather than taking the time to do things properly.

                                        Tapping up the ignition switch, and God knows what other botches you're doing, is going to bite you in the backside big time. If that wire comes loose on a ride out you're going to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with a brick of a bike.

                                        Juat relax and take the time to do the job properly and it'll pay dividends later on.
