Dtr125 ignition upgrade
-
I've been told to get a ignition for my dt what exactly is that and where would I get one just seeing what options are about thanks
-
Why has someone told you to upgrade your ignition.
Can you elaborate please?
-
It's in the post I put about the vforce reeds the one bloke said get an ignition first I'm confused to what that means
-
@calum i dident even know of any other ignition for the dtr 125
-
Right, not sure why he said that to be honest.
-
Ignition is a vague term.
It ranges from vehicle to vehicle. But on the DT, the ignition system comprises of:
Fly Wheel, Stator, Pick Up, Magneto, Coil, HT Lead, Spark Plug & CDI. Probably something else, but that's about the jist.
So asking, Ignition Upgrade, is really vague. You need to be more specific.
Fitting reeds has nothing to do with the ignition, so not sure why that's been suggested.
Clearly the person doesn't know what they're on about, or trying to pull a fast one...
-
@calum okay Thank you for your help mate
-
Thanks.
Keep it real
-
@darty Ha it was you lol. Cmon Darty, ignition, you're more technical than that lol.
Ignition is a vague term. You meant CDI. Which is only part of the ignition.
On my DT I replaced the lot with items that had "Racing" in the description. Because if it doesn't say that then it's clearly not better right!
It comes down to what you want to do with your bike.
If you're using it daily, then leave it stock. If it's a weekend toy and you want to start tuning it up, bang for buck I'd say swapping out the CDI for an aftermarket one is probably one of the most noticeable things you can do. An exhaust system comes close second.
Always Originate, Never Pirate!
-
@calum Guess we are all morons then.
Agreed though, it is not worth spending the money if you do not know how to use it.
But I use my DT daily, it runs as good as I want it to. That is benefit of a Tunable 'Capacitor Discharge Ignition'
Ignition.
Keep it real

@darty My DT would have been sound as a daily. In fact, it was sound daily. It was the rear sprocket carrier that failed lol. Haven't ridden it since then.
-
Mines just a weekend you what cdi should I look at?
-
@ryanjimccfc Me and Darty have differing opinions.
I run Zeeltronic Ignition system. I will be getting another Zeeltronic for my RS iminently.
@Darty Would recommend the Ignitech Ignition system, which I believe is £100 cheaper.
Either one you chose should be a lovely upgrade, and really comes into its own when you start adding the other mods.
-
Is there anywhere I could take it to get tuned and set up
-
@ryanjimccfc DIY.
The Zeeltronic system will come with 5 different maps to try out.
-
And will one of them deffo work and will it work on a 1994 dtr
-
@ryanjimccfc Why don't you ask the company that?
-
@calum I was just asking because people come across good people and stuff thought I might as well see if there was any one you recommend
-
@ryanjimccfc it’s my understanding that a base map will work but if you want to get your money’s worth you should really tune the map to your bike and needs but that’s just my understanding
-
Nothing will come close to a rolling road tune-up session, as that will get the best out of all of your mods and upgrades in one go. If you want the best performance it's money well spent.
SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!
