Glenyboy Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 So I've just got done with doing the dc conversion followed all instructions based on this.... And I have these 3 wires left over, the blue from the old ac regulator and the two old wires that go the stator... On the instructions it says to eliminate the two old wires and run two new yellow ones to the new dc rectifier. The bike started and ran, and the lights all worked before changing the stator and wiring configuration. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Thanks Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenyboy Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 So I run those two to the battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Gleny, take a wider pic so I can see all the wires coming out of the stator, and all of the wires from the reg/rec. I just spent the last 15 minutes doing a writeup for you, but then I realized that I don't see all of the wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I just put the stock black wire to the ground on the frame and yellow/red wires to the battery and the lights came on. The thing is the side lights are still flickering as if u were running an ac circuit? And they're only 5w the main only powers up with the throttle open? Here's what I've done... The yellow wire and the White one from the stator are wired into the dc rec The red from the rectifier is run to the positive terminal The black to the negative The old blue ac wire discontinued The battery is also grounded And as mentioned above .... Stock yellow/ red to the positive terminal And stock black to the ground I'm going to have to check the stator as it was supposed to been pre wired for dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenyboy Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Oh yeah I forgot to mention the dc reg/rec has 4 wires.... 2yellow 1 red 1 black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Right, I have my lights working now. I think my battery may need a good charge, I've got the charger rigged ip to the bike and everything came on without the bike running. Now all I've got to do is see why my tail light won't turn off!!

Glenyboy Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) everything is sorted now, got my new led rear light running right. Anyone familiar with a multimeter? They don't come with a whole lot of instructions and I haven't used one since school. I just wanted to measure the current coming going to the battery.

dave5.0 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Current? So amperage right? Or we talking voltage? If amperage I think with that meter you'd have to put it in series with the load wouldn't ya? Need amp probe(clamp) to make it easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Voltage at the battery, I'd of thought it'd be set at the 20 at the top left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
