SHEEBANSAVAGE Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hey guys, I have a 2003 banshee and I am having a little headlight issue. When i am riding along, they come in and out of brightness. They act normal at idle.. I believe I have a bad ground. Can you guys point me in the right direction on where this ground is located. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenr74 Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 The headlights will be dim or bright depending on how you are riding. The stator is sending a current to them. The faster the engine revs the brighter they should be. You may have a totally different problem but some people don't know how they act "normally".

SHEEBANSAVAGE Posted August 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Yeah, I know how they work depending on the speed of your engine to the stator output, but my problems are happening at steady rpm's....They are still going in and out, bright and dim.. Thanks for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenr74 Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I figured you probalby knew that already. Some newbies think their batteries are going bad though You might have short somewhere is about the only thing I can think of. Start checking wires.

Screamin_Banshee Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Rear, near the CDI and "little black box" Hey someone- what is that black box??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenr74 Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Hey someone- what is that black box??? That is your inflight data recorder. If you crash and die they can see how fast you were going. Actually, I think it is a voltage regulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
