125-200cc voltage regulator

[Travis Thompson]

Im putting a headlight on my bike and ordered a regulator off ebay cause didnt have one. It keeps blowing the headlights right after i start it. Can i test the regulator?

Use meter chk voltage at headlight wires rev the bike up and see what the voltage is.

 

[Travis Thompson]

not sure if im doing it right but on the back of it theres 2 tabs coming off which I put the power into and then hook headlight coming back out of other one. its on my wxe 260

Is it supposed to be AC? Im getting 22v on idle and 40v on rev up. If i switch it to DC i get nothing.

Will this work? I think this is what i need. From what i read it will work on motorcycles.

The headlight bulbs are only 12v hence them blowing when its started. you should have between 12-14v on idle and under load

Also the regulator you got, is it just a regulator or a reg/rec?

 

[bdl507]

I usually use single wire snowmobile regulators they just hook to a power wire and bolt to a ground. They are available in 6v and 12v a lot of shops have them in stock.

i think its just a rectifier. I looked it up on h0alls and thats whats it called but i cant find a regulator anywhere. i have a reg/rec off an old atv i might try to get to work

 

[Travis Thompson]

I still cant figure it out. I have a blue, black and yellow wire coming from stator. My rectifier looks like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1991-Husqva...Parts_Accessories&hash=item20bcc3667a&vxp=mtr if anybody can help me get this worked out it would be greatly appreciated. Im not sure where each wire goes on rectifier and how to wire up headlight correctly
I would like to be able to add battery cause plan on putting dual sport kit on. Is there a reg/rec that i can buy to make this work thanks

you could always get a wre wiring loom and reg/rec Travis, they weren't available in the U.S. but there are loads of wre bits on ebay germany

I think BDL has it right, just get an AC regulator, the lights will work fine on AC voltage about 13acv. That rectifier you have is simply converting AC to DC voltage and still needs to be used in conjunction with a regulator. Sometimes in older systems that didn't have a lot of excess wattage production over what the bike uses, would just have a battery to control the voltage spike.

Ok Thanks. i think i might get this so i can use a battery http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p...fier?ref=gmc&gclid=CIPdjv-EsrcCFSJk7AodpkcABw If i just get a regulator it be able to run a light kit when running

I have that TT reg/rec on my bike, works great.
