Dtre 125 electric start wont work
-
I am led to believe the circuitry for this should be rudimentary.
If I recall correctly, it runs on it's own circuit, from the battery to the fuse holder and through a relay. The relay js actuated via the button on the controls.
I'll have to grab my Haynes and have a proper look for you when I get a moment, unless there are already circuit diagrams available here.

Can anyone help I've got a dtre but can't get the electric starter working .. it spins when direct to battery .. can anyone help ? How should it be wired ? Earths etc .. thank you
@apg1991re @calum I've never owned a DTRe but the starter circuit does run through a relay, and that being activated is also dependent upon the clutch switch allowing power to reach the starter button (and obviously the button itself). I think that's where I'd be starting; being stuck on the end of a handlebar in our wonderful climate is a harsh environment for a switch. Give them both a good dose of WD40 so it fizzes and bubbles out of all the holes (hold a rag underneath them so none ends up on the front brake/tyre, it can also be helpful to leave a rag wrapped around it for a while afterwards). Do this with the ignition switch as well for good measure, there's usually a hole somewhere in the electrical part of the switch for this purpose.
