This is how I got my indicators working with all LED bulbs and the dash bulb running LED also. It has flashing both sides with turn signal working. Firstly, you need to order some 1N4005 600v 1A General Purpose Diodes IN4005 1N4000 DO41 here is the link for them on ebay below. They are 99P for 10 but you only need two for this to work. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131581867356?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
First you need to remove the rev counter and pull out the bulb holder for the indicator turn signal and see what colour wires arre. On my bike they are green and brown. I then trace the wire to unplug the wire connector.

Then you need to cut the green and brown wire and strip all ends ready for soldering.

Then tin/solder all wire ends.

Now you need to cut down the legs on the diodes you bought and solder to the green and brown wire at the plug connector end, with the white ring on the diode end free, as they only work one way round

Then you want to twist the two diodes with the white ends together.

Next you need to solder the other end of the green wire you cut earlier that goes to the bulb holder, to the twisted ends of the diodes.

Now you want to heat shrink all ends of the wires so they are not touching together, and are now waterproof.



Now you need a piece of wire, I used some black wire, to solder to the brown wire coming from the bulb holder as this is now your new earth.

And you need to heat shrink this to to make it water tight.

I then soldered on the other end of the black wire to the earth lead on the side light.

Now you need to heat shrink this to again, make it water tight.

Now you have completed all the wiring you now need to replace the dash bulb with a LED t10 501 and all indicator bulbs with LED bulbs and also replace the flasher unit, and all indicators will flash with no problems and the turn signal on the dash will work as normal.

I will update any information on bulbs if I find any better bulbs. I hope to change headlight bulb soon as found a LED h4 bulb that has the same light pattern, as a standard h4 but waiting on this to arrive and test before I say if its any good.

@Alastair mine is a french inport too great bike spent little money on it getting brakes replaced and top end rebuild but nether let me down and been great fun

finally got the brakes done back and front new discs pads and hoses and new fluid seems so much better than they were thats for sure made me relise how bad they were but dont think it helped that the back caliper was sezied on the sliding pin so caliper was not moving strange that the person who had the bike before had done lots of work on the bike before has had new pistons and seals in the brake but forgot to grease the sliding pins just goes to show you can never trust all the paper work for work done if its not been done properly

keep up the great work mate the forum is a source of information for everybody

my reprofiled 3BN head by mick abbey tuning is done and looks great just need to get it back and fitted now

@Mightyman good luck mate

i dont know much about exhaust to be fair only everyone says dep are the best buth rust like hell thas why i stayed with the standard pipe and de risticked it

im sure yours is 2001 same as mine it should have a 240 main jet as standard and mine is in use every day for work same as yours i change oil and plugss once a month and all has been fine

you want it working and not pinned just make sure it flush you can try sitting further back on the seat to as that will help but as i said with it set right you will see the diffrence mine comes up from pull away and im 16 stone and tops out at 85 on the clock so im sure yours should do the same if running and set up right

if you pin the power valve you will have no bottom to low end pull just top end pull and need to rev and slip the clutch to pull away where as with the power valve servo and working it will pull at all ranges if you remove the reed switch it will help with top end dont think it makes much diffrence on pull away as the power valve open at 6000 revs

Hello does anybody know the length of the cylinder head studs as away from home and need to order some studs next size up as got a couple of threads stripped so going to get some turned to standard m8 125 pitch for the head nuts but m10 into the cylinder its self so just need the length please of what goes into cylinder and what’s left for the head nuts many thanks

i changed it back last year as it had turned in the holder and fail he did say bring it back when i replace it to set it up but not had time but it due again next month so will find out but the led buld is supose to follow the same beam pattern as normal bulb

i run a led bulb in mine fo over a year seems ok and not had problems with on coming traffic

@NINJA sorry should of read your post before commenting on calums yes thats what ii was looking to do just did not know what rims to look for as did ask a couple of mx shops and they said it cant be done on a dt not very helpfull really

@Calum hi mate what rims am i looking for as spoke with a couple of mx shops and they say there cant be done but im sure i had read on here of people lacing rims to dt hubs or is it better to just get diffrent wheel any help would be greatfull

@Glynn123 said in tubeless rims:

rim bands

i thought the rims were not suitable for tubless because the sides are not deep enough to hold the tubless tyre thought there was a diffrence in rims between the two

well all i can do is try this till i find some rims that will except tubless tyres not having much luck at the moment contacted a couple of shops but they say they dont know of any rims for a dtr so the search continues but thanks for all the information good or bad can only but try till i find a soloution many thanks neil

@finnerz89 yes i did buy some slime yesterday and added to the new tubes and tyres so got finger crossed that it helps out

im riding from thurrock to bishop stalford so it county lanes and towns im running michelin heavy duty innertubes 4mm i think and sirac tyres at about 28psi and had three punchers so far at it now grating on me waiting for the recovery van never had problems before i started doing this journey and they new tyres and tubes as well could just be bad luck put thought tubless tyres have got to be better as could plug them to get me home

hi im looking to change my rims so i can run tubeless tyres as doing 400 miles a week at the moment for work and tonight was the second time i got a puncture and had to be recovered so im thinking if i can run a tubeless rim and tyre i could carry a tyre plug kit even if it just to get me home so am wordering if this can do done and what is needed any help would be greatful neil
