The engine stops when the connection is made, ignition is earthed. I don’t understand what your problem is?
If you disconnect the kill switch the bike will still run…
If you disconnect the ignition key block connector the bike will run but have no lights…
Just fit the button and try it…

@SpookDog

Ok i will try everything ……… I will find it 😂🤣

My 3nc is fine as well. But nobody said they were bad. Just that the 3mb were a tadpole better 😜 …
With the early bikes a fat strong spark can make a real difference. As soon as I put my lights on it zaps my tick over. I can see it going from blue to orange in my minds eye! …

Taking the powervalve apart is pretty easy, you’d be surprised how gummed up it can get too. Always worth checking that out

@Vcelicka

Gonna have to check your wiring behind the headlight 🙂 …

@Calum

Yeah, I just skimmed through it. I wouldn’t touch it with a shitty stick! 😜

I’m embarrassed to admit that I sometimes forget what gear I’m in, not often! But trying to pull away from the traffic lights in 3rd is not a good look 😒 …
It always seems to end up the time it won’t go back down into first, I end up rocking the fuxor backwards and forwards to try and get it to snick into gear! 😐

@Calum said in DIGITAL speedo:

@Mattey No onboard storage on the Vapor (2010) models that is, so when the backup battery goes (only lasts 2-3 years as the display is always on) you lose all mileage. Ultimately they're designed for enduro use where you only really care about rebuild-rebuild mileage.

Consequently my DTR reads zero miles everytime I power it up.

Interesting,I have VaporX on my DT but keeps the milage when changing the battery,it was bought around 2010 or 2011,maybe older batch? Even with factory reset didn't loose the odometer kilometers.

@Vcelicka The handling on my DTR is fricken superb! I've had these tyres for ~10 years and they've been spot on. Uhhmm, I'd have to check but I'm not going into the garage now. I think it's 110 on the front. But again, I'm running different wheel/fork setup so the spacing is all different. Handles a dream though.

Also, if it’s all gonna be replaced. Use as big a screwdriver as you can to go up through the chain, top and bottom. It should lock up the sprocket. Just make sure the screwdriver is tight against the bottom frame bar where the foot pegs are…
It really shouldn’t be that tight though…

@Vcelicka

Happy for you bud! 👍 …

If you can afford it get a NGK rubber (red) ‘racing’ cap and an NGK Iridium spark plug. They are the Bogs Dollox! 😜 …
