I am hoping you guys can give me some help with fixing a 1978 DT125E. This bike is my Dad's and has had electrical issues for a while now. These bikes have super simple electrical systems For starters the battery is NFG. I dont think it has had a working battery for ages. The bike will of course run without a battery (has kick start) so it was never fixed. The rectifier on it continually keeps frying. It literally melts. It has done this on a few different rectifiers. The headlights also burn out on a regular basis. Lately the bike does not run properly. It wants to die when you try and rev it. It feels like its not getting spark. I think that if I change the rectifier (and likely the battery) the bike will run like normal. The big question is what would cause the rectifier to continually burn out? Thanks in advance. I would love to get this old girl running for summer riding season.
