Reed switch behind the clocks on a 2003 dtr
Permalink  
 


Does any body know if taking the reed switch block out of the back of the clocks actually de-restricts the cdi unit on an 03 bike ?


Any help would be great.

The reed switch is fitted to the clocks so that when the bike reaches 60mph the CDI knows about it and retards the ignition. This makes the bike have less power over 60mph. It's just another restriction added to the DTR to make it comply with Learner laws.

Take it out, Tape it up, and forget about it.

Thnaks for the reply, i have taken the reed switch out, however, the bike still only does 60mph @ 7500 revs, any ideas ?

Also, does the reed switch need earthing if removed from the clocks ?

The reed switch needs to be pulled out of the clocks ,but still connected to its wires (just tie/tape it at least a few inches away from the hole it came out of).

Have you still got a standard exhaust fitted? If so, then get a DEP or "Big One" front pipe and preferably silencer too.

Also check that your powervalve is fitted the correct way round (take off front pipe, turn the ignition ON and check that the powervalve is lined up with the top of the exhaust port). Check the De-restricting page on my website.

hi guys i had this prob with my tdr its worth a try anyway take of the rear pipe and take the tdr for a spin and see if theres any improvements.also i have earthed a wire coming out of the cdi i must have a look at it as i cant remember which one it was.also set up your powervalve correctly.how to is on the site.TUNING.if your bike goes quick after you take of rear pipe its probably blocked as mine was so i cut the end of and welded all the baffles out and now its like a rocket dont bother with tuned pipes.if you get the baffles out of your standard rear pipe its much the same as a tuned pipe good luck


 


 


ps if you want to know  the color of the wire just leev a post and i will tell you

i can tell you from my experience,a standard de-restricted exhaust is not as fast as a full dep system.mines got more power at low and high revs.not a huge difference but you defo feel it.

and my original zorst had been cut in half and gutted properly.

but i dont like the tinny sound of the dep system,and for £220 quid its not a great fit either.
if i knew then what i know now i would have stuck with the standard zorst.
well thats my opinion on it.



looks sweet though.

That is why i highly recommended BigOne front pipes ^ they are great imo
Yeh deps do like nice, but looks aint everything ;)

There is a guy on eBay who is selling aftermarket pipes for dtr's which are also much like a dep cross bigone, i was tempated to purchase one and see what it was like.
Anyone else came across these?

Looks liked a pimped up BigOne pipe

i wouldnt like to chance it myself.its a lot of money to throw away.
dep pipes are a poor fit and there a big company.so those arent gonna be great.
