Cheers lads

[Minia]

I have an erection.

[Louis-DT-WR]

Does anyone know how many of these were made.. and different parts of the world quantities.

All UK ones are imports.

Does anyone know why they were only produced for 3/4years

[Minia]

@Louis-James As far as I know the idea of the DT200WR was to build a trail bike that could compete and win in enduro races. Though obviously that brings the question as to why go halfway... also they were being made at the time when 2-stroke emissions were starting to be criticised and overall the appeal of 2-strokes was dying down considerably. Luckily in recent years it has picked up again. But I think back in the 90s there weren't many people who actually wanted to put the money in said bike.

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Minia that's a bit like what happened with turbo cars around the same time.. phased them out and whacked the insurance up... And now most cars have a turbo these days

[Louis-DT-WR]

Still waiting for the very last bits

But made a quick video (slideshow) https://youtu.be/kJED24hS3x4

@Louis-James amazing

[Louis-DT-WR]

So today I did a test start to check all lights work.
Speedo and all lights on the new clocks work.
When I try the indicators....
the rear indicator stays on solid and the front does not light up , the clocks light stays on solid also...
This happens on both left and right hand side.
I think this is exactly what happened when my dtr relay went... Any thoughts? Hard to source the correct relay.

[NINJA]

@Louis-James Does the clock light disappear when you put it in gear?

I presume that you've checked all the wires, grounds, connectors, fuses etc. to ensure that there's nothing shorting out? No LED's all lights are regular bulbs???

[Calum]

@Louis-James Double check the wiring to make sure you haven't connected up the wrong sides. Sounds like a relay issue to me, I've had that a few times before.

[Louis-DT-WR]

All the looming was Mint and I cleaned all connections. The neutral light goes off when in gear... I'm pretty sure it's the regulator issue I had on my dtr

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum that's what I think but it's a hard part to find. All earths were cleaned

[Calum]

I think I've had this before when only one of the indicators are connected.

[finnerz89]

What wattage lamps have you used in the indicators?
When I changed mine to higher wattage i got the same symptoms you're describing.

[Louis-DT-WR]

@finnerz89 they're original ones but new

[Calum]

@Louis-James Check that the bulbs haven't gone and/or that the loom provides continutity throughout.

[Louis-DT-WR]

@Calum cheers call, seems a bit of a coincidence that it's both sides

[Calum]

@Louis-James Just make sure front right is connected to rear right and front left is connected to rear left.
