Ignition key replacment

@SpookDog its not RE tho it doesnt have electric start

[SpookDog]

@erion

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]

It might be a 94 bike then. They didn’t do RE’s till 2004 or 6

[erion]

@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

[SpookDog]

@erion

You are in Kosovo? Oh well I can’t help you bud! 🥴 …

[erion]

@SpookDog im looking if i can derestrict it somehow thats why im looking to find the year model

[SpookDog]

@erion

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

[erion]

@SpookDog idk what the servo one is but it does have a pwer valve conected to the cylinder with 2 cables , can you explain what the servo is

[SpookDog]

@erion

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…

[erion]

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

[SpookDog]

@erion

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…

[SpookDog]

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

[erion]

@SpookDog the cable for the rev metter is broken i need to buy a new one as fir the exhaust it has a standard one with akrapović muffler or idk what its called in the end

@erion silencer*

@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]

@markus-w yeah as that guy said i checked it the servo has 3 wires so it means it should be 1985 to 1995 maybe its a 93 or 94

[markus.w]

@erion 4DK was manufactured in 1994 for sale in Europe.

[erion]

@markus-w if its 94 do you know if i can derestrict it somehow without having to cut the exhaust or having to buy a new one

[markus.w]

@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]

@markus-w now the bike is fucked i got the carb cleaned cus it wouldn't run i rode it yesterday now it wont start , its being a pain in the a** bike
