http://www.dunereview.com/electricalupgrade-1.htm i have put that setup in my shee and its the second time i stop my shee and wen i come to start it up back no fire the stator was burned it i was thinking the fire from the battery goes in the stator wen the bike is not running because i don have any switch to cut the circut do im right or wrong ???? or is beacause i don have a good stator please give me your opinion !!! Thank Paul

sit tight. there are several members here on HQ that run battery operated lighting systems. one of them will post here at some point.

I been wanting to do this upgrade, other things i have to tackle first. I know a few people have done this upgrade and eventually will chime in.

Did you put a regulator/rectifier on the bike to convert the lighting current to DC?

[AKheathen]

did you use a single or dual output stator?......the duals need to be wired differently. did you follow the directions exactly? check the proper wiring on the rectifier, if you used one? check too see that it is actually working and not running off the battery when you start it?

My lights only run on the battery. Nothing is hooked up to the stator. I used a universal on/off switch.

I mostly use this bike for drags. The battery is made by kinetic for use in car stereo's. You can run it

dead and still charge it up.

i made mine like the ricky stator i have 2 ac output and yes a folow exacly the direction

[AKheathen]

oh, what i was asking is if it came with the 2 power outputs, which would make 3 outputs plus ground....

[Snopczynski]

Ricky stator has only 1 ac output + a ground for the lighting circuit, so your going to need to clarify what you hooked up on this. Are you saying after you floated it, it has two ac outputs? Did you use a full wave or half wave rectifier?

I wired mine exactly according to those instructions and it works great. The only difference was I got a very small battery from the Yamaha shop and mounted it inside the back of the air box behind the air filter. Have had it to the dunes 5 times over the summer and all works well. The only thing I had to do was use 20 watt bulbs in the handlebar sockets and 35 watt ones in the stock fender sockets. Ricky Stator told me that for the system to keep up with the battery and lights the total draw could not exceed 120 watts.
