installing a headlight kit to my gpx150cc motor

[wha77]

the lights only work when i hook a battery up to them AFTER the voltage reg

 

[headsmess]

trying to think, its been a long time since i rewired my postie...

ok, my lifan on the yamoto.... 2 yellow. reading 6.6 volts ac between them, 3.6 between either and earth. the blue and the black wire read 70 volts between them at idle....these are the wires that will be rectified and regulated for charging the battery up. goddamn, im about to strip it down anyways, so....ill be back. maybe. but i swear my lights are 12v.... the battery is... but the battery runs my lights directly as well...

but i undo the damn plug and it stops!!! and its got nothing to do with the cdi unit....but i got some fancy safety switch thing on the kickstand, so that would be it...

 

[wha77]

ok my bike doesnt have a battery tho

ahhhh this is driving me insane lol... So your (wha77) wiring looks something like this :

Ok thats a little better. Just need to earth the negative of the lights to get them to work

 

[bulldog93]

wow 7pages in one day you guys must be pissed that it hasn't worked yet...

 

[Poulsen8r]

haha... have you got any ideas?

 

[wha77]

lol my home make wiring diagram

 

[Poulsen8r]

Man all i can say right now is that there must be something wrong with that switch part or how its all hooked up. It doesn't make sense for the tail light to work but the other not to. Can you take a few pics of the switch and where the red wire from the rectifier hooks up to the switch?

 

[wha77]

guess what something we have done seams to be working, nice aand bright at about half throttle, not sure what it was but ive just been doing everything that u said and now its just randomly decided to work

 

[Poulsen8r]

Yay sounds good man. I guess it will just need to be all soldered and taped up properly now. Chuck us up some pics when you are done!

 

[wha77]

cool THANKYOU HEAPS for all your help today i really appricate your help mate ur a legend!

 

[wha77]

Its complete!

 

[Poulsen8r]

haha what can i say lol. I'll write this into a tutorial so everyone doesnt have to read all that lol. I had fun helping you, hope it all works great i'm always (almost) here if you need more help or anything. just one last thing, i'd probably try not to rev to hard when the lights are on coz you don't want to blow the bulbs. If you can get a small 12V battery or battery pack it would help keep the voltage more even so that it doesnt skyrocket to 40V.

 

[wha77]

lol too easy thankyou heaps again, if i didnt have u helpin me with that my bike prob would of seen the hammer lol, yeah im going to try and find a battery for it

 

[Poulsen8r]

Looks great man. Would you mind just giving me a few details on what type of lighting kit and where/how much it cost? That would be great so other people could use it too.
