Bansh-eman Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 before you go and do the conversion you might want to read into it some... they are known for being HUGE headaches! i have heard maybe 2 stories where the outcome was possitive... and many many stories where the stator burned out after the 2nd ride... unless your powering some seriouse lights you dont need a dc conversion....

Well 2 things I want to advance my timing to +4 so the Ricky stator kit sounds like the hot ticket and I figure why not do the conversion will im at it. What other problems have people than burning the stator out? Also I guess I could go a different rout with advancing my timing have u seen a do it your self remedy I do have pretty good fabrication skills. :biggrin: ps love your bike how long is that swingarm?

Wallrat Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I converted to DC and haven't had any stator issues. However I disagree that the only reason is so you can run your lights with the bike off. If that's your only goal, then kick the damn thing over! The ONLY reason why anyone should consider the conversion is if they want to run HID lights. Unless you want HID's, then just get the 200w stator and a shitload of lights. Leave the conversion out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave the conversion out of it. I'm going to have to agree with Wallrat. If you want HID lights then do the conversion. If you don't know a bit about electronics don't try to do the conversion because you will end up with problems. Bansh-eman has read about all the bad experiences on the board. He does not know about the 4 guys running HID's in our little camp that have not had problems. One of the guys has a HID on his CRF50 pit bike with no problems at all... It's all up to the installer imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also unless your runnin a fuel pump for your Wet nitrous system on your duner.... i did my conversion last winter and ran that thing all year without a hitch till i lost a intake bolt while runnin my friends 112hp CR500 in the dunes :shoothead: ...... wasnt a pretty sight.......but atleast i came out in front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a regulator/ rectifier from a company in wisconsin though. Ricky claimed his rectifier dumped the 200w stator down to 130w on the conversion. The rectifier I use on the sleds has no measurable loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
