When the yamaha dtr gets stolen how is started do they simpley turn the lock with a screwdriver or does the ignition lock need to be removed an wired joined together
I m asking as my engine is in a diffeent frame an the wires pass through the frame they can't be acessed unless the tank is removed

I fitted a dtr engine in a yamaha xvs it's 90 % done but I m struggling with some of the wiring I 've had to extend the loom an move certain things
I m not very good at reading the yamaha wiring diagram I find it hard to follow
I m left with these
Tail light wires "black earth yellow ? Blue/red ?
Rear indicators I have 3 wires dark green dark brown an black I assume there are left an right an they share the earth ?
At the front I have a blue /red wire labelled as parking light there is no side light fitted so can I chop this wire off
Also I have a yel/ red from switchgear I think this goes to stator ?

@dan28
Just thinking don't just cut straight through the whole thing as the baffle tube inside needs to be an inch or two longer to fit into the end cap of I remember correct

I had to cut
the end Can ( hardest part is putting the end cap back on )
Use the off cut over the top of your now short pipe as a template to drill the new holes

On the 1989 what colour are brake light an tail light wires

where did you get the inline filter from is it glass or plastic

@oldman said in 1988 bike:

OK, thanks Calum. Replacement shock arrived and it's worse than the one I need to replace sadly. Lower ball joint corroded and worn and corrosion on plunger shaft has damaged the seal, very little damping going on. Will keep looking for a decent one.

look for a shock from a newer bike they have a white spring an fit on the 89 model

how do you use both you push the switch for main beam

i would put a multimeter on the wires sounds like its not getting enough power if its dull

@dan28
What if I ran 55 rear an then went up two teeth on the front

@Calum
Problem is the sprocket is dished
The wheel is off a sachs roadster

The biggest sprocket I can find ( on eBay ) is 55 tooth
