light coil idea
nd4speed:
The 1986 KX500 stator and flywheel can be used on the 89-04 KX500.
The 1986 KX250 Stator and flywheel is same as 1986 KX500
The 1984-1987 Tecate 3 wheelers and 1987-88 Tecate 4 have lights and have a stator and flywheel that can be used on 1986 KX250
Therefore, the Tecate stator with lighting coil and flywheel can be purchased new for around $250 and be used on 89-04 KX500
The tecate flywheel is quite hefty.
There is thread on here were a guy was trying to do this and posted an old magazine article about the Baja 1000 KX500 from the 80's that had a Tecate stator and flywheel

this guy used KDX200 stuff:

Maybe I'm not on the right track and you guys want 1000 watts of power and monster spot lights on the front of your KX.

The Tecate lighting stator is weaker than the moose lighting stator for $69. Great research though.

BDI:
I have that little coil on my 500. I used it to run a whip light and other little lights on my sand bike. I also had the the e-line coil on the bike at the same time that ran two 6" lights off the front. Boy I really thought I was s**tting in high cotten but now that I own a bike with half the wattage, half the weight worth of crap,twice the light and twice the dependability I realize how poorly designed my lighting was. I don't mean to speak for everyone but I think what we wan't is a 100 watt system that puts out a 200 watts of light even when the bike is at idle. that is what we are working on and the point of this whole post.

I have an E-Line set-up with a new stator winding that i've yet to install. Besides the weight...what is the general negative consensous with using the E-Line set-up??
It's going into my '86 Tecate KXT 500 project and will power the stock headlite and taillite only...no tru serious nite running.
