Kx250 lighting circuit??????
« on: October 19, 2015, 03:21:21 AM »
For a 2000 Kx 250
After my epic adventure last night.. I've decided if like to get some lighting on the Kx ...
Not Dakar light up the countryside light.. But just something to get me out of the woods light...  I'm kinda coming up with different answers here... It looks like there may be the capability all ready on bike something to do with a coil for power jet carb...  Any help would be great ... I'd like to do it kinda on the cheap as I'm good with wiring but after my adventure  I'd pony up the dough if I have too

Could you fix some kind of LED uni fit headlight and tuck a battery somewhere?

I looked into that as an option... But would really like to go back to original question on weather or not I can use the current stock stator due to the power jet output

Steahly makes a power jet kit.

http://www.steahlyoffroad.com/lighting/powerjet-lighting-kit.html

I started looking into it a little while ago. I think this kit with a helmet light is the best option. Unless you want to start tracking down a replacement stator. I found a thread where a guy was making them, very professional quality but not sure if he is still making them. It was an "out of my garage" type of thing.

Here is my thread from ThumperTalk

This now has me interested as well...   I'll start to look into it..   Debating going to 3d ignition mapping on my k5

Don't worry about the power jet. You don't need it

As far as I can tell, only half of the stator poles are used in the powerjet circuit. Personally, I'm going to install a 36mm non powerjet carb and rewire the powerjet stator coils for more output for a headlight. I have a rectifier from an atv that has a bigger metal case for more heat dissipation. I'll use the output to charge a battery, and wire the battery into the light for constant output.That's contingent on whether my cursory glance at the stator coils was correct. If anyone has an old, useless stator from a powerjet kx250 and can affirm it that'd be awesome.

I am running the ignition system off of a 99 kx 250 on my 330 tecate 4 Dave Roberts from ILR set it up for me  It runs a 44 lectron so no need for the power jet he sent it to Ricky stator and had it rewound for more output it makes anoff now to make the miserable tecate light real bright

Your bike puts out enough power for lights that will get you out of the woods in a pinch. On the 03/04s its the white wire with a red tracer coming out of the voltage regulator on the steering head. I believe the regulator is located by the airbox on the older models. You can run the wire to a on/off switch and then to your headlight. I run 2 MR16 LED bulbs. You will have to run a ground from the bulbs to the triple clamp or frame. I use a Acerbis DHH headlight which has the twin beams.
DHH headlight.

Or, if you can find an old Eline coil you can run whatever light you want and have plenty of power to do it.
You can see the coil on my wifes 250/300.
