Correct cable and wiring routing advice required
-
Good afternoon everyone, its been a year since my last post, my bike has sat in the kitchen another year but im determined to get it put back together once and for all ready for some use. What i need to know is the correct routing of the throttle, brake and clutch cables, down the headset and along the frame, also the correct route for the wiring loom as my horn is mounted under the tank and i think that is wrong. Also my cdi is on the oil tank but exposed to the elements, am i missing something? I have the haynes manual and had a quick look through it just now but cant find any guides on the info im after. I think i have it right im just not sure. Any help or advice is welcome and appreciated. Thanks alot. Nick.

@89dt125nick Judging by the throttle cable splitter box and reg/rect (and your CDI being mounted on the 2T tank) I guess your DTR is a '99 onwards. The migration to the later electrical system wasn't completely smooth, for example I once owned a low mileage original French '98 4BL with 3NC electrics (CDI under the tank) but the two brass threaded inserts were present to mount the CDI at the front of the oil tank. Here are the cable routing diagrams for the '88 DTR, you might need to get a bit inventive with some items but hope this helps:

@89dt125nick No worries bud
When refitting the CDI to the oil tank, be sure to apply plenty of copper grease to the mounting bolts and brass inserts to prevent them corroding together (this is also a good idea for all the captive threads in the airbox) as if this happens it's almost impossible to get the bolts undone because they just spin round in the plastic. Common problem on MX bikes where the rad shrouds attach to plastic fuel tanks after a lot of pressure washing. -
