Since ive had my 01 dt 125 the headlight has dimmed when the revs drop. Is this normal and if not are there any checks i can do as i have a multimeter to check the wiring or to see if the battery is charging but i dont know how to do it!!
its normal, healdight on a DT runs completely off the alternator. dont think it does on the newest DT but DTRs do, bit annoying but you get used to it.
you know it running off the alternator because when you turn the key the lights dont come on like alot of other bikes, rear light does though
quick qustion im planning on runing my dtr with no battery to save a bit of weight etc , the ypvs should work alrite shoudnt it ?

have just read these last bits, will the bike not have problems starting without a battery or does this only apply to kick start as it is different to electric start, i might have this completely wrong though?
for the bike to start without a battery, the alternator will need to collect enough charge, it will need to have the wheels turning to turn the fly wheel.
without a battery it wouldnt work with the kick start (or electric lol) will have to be bump started everytime ............... i think.
and then without a battery, things might not work so well. just better to have one. and tbh its abit silly not to have one, its 2kg at most. not exactly going to give you 20 more miles an hour .......
