Old Stator New Harness

[SpeedRacer88]

i got a older stator everything works i just cant figure out how to wire in the lights the stator has two yellow and one black wire and my harness only has one yellow and one black wire i've tried ever combo there is but no lights

[SpeedRacer88]

anybody

that's not stock......check the black for continuity with the engine, and ohm each yellow to black

Sounds like an aftermarket high output stator with 2 lighting outputs which requires 2 voltage regulators. You should be able to hook up 1 yellow and the black wire and make your lights work, then tape off the other yellow so it can't short. If neither yellow makes the lights work then it sounds like a bad stator.

it could also be a floated stock style.

[bansheesandrider]

it could also be a floated stock style.

Absolutely, I did not think about that. Are the 2 yellow wires the same type of wire or does it look like one of the yellows was added by someone?

[SpeedRacer88]

no its a ricky stator ther is no continuity between either yellow with black but i have continuity between the two yellows

[AKheathen]

does the black have continuity with ground? you are gonna have to pull it and see where you can get continuity. if it's floated for 12v, you will see an unused solder connection on the basket, and one of the yellow wires will be connected where the winding goes there, in stead. if you don't care to do a dc setup on your bike (requires a rectifier) then that can be reconnected to that unused pole. if it's not floated, and it's a high output, it will have 18poles, instead of 12, like the stock style. you can see if there is a connection problem at the ground. actually, i just remembered that it doesn't use a pole, but an eyelet that screws into the stator frame. i just don't wann retype it all, lol. oh, and the black wire connects to the wire holder on the back of the timing plate, so you must have that screwed in for it to work.
