Ok, so my status so far, and the eventual goal of this post is to have a good in depth guide to upgrading from an 8 pole to an 11 pole stator.
A little bit of background, from what I have read I am fairly lucky because I have stock 55 watt headlights, and they are very bright. I never had a problem driving at night. One day I noticed my headlights didn't come on anymore. All my dash lights, turn signals ect worked. Also at the same time, suddenly my battery would be dead after about 2 days of driving. Sooo...... The 55 watt headlights and the rest of the load was probably to much for the stock rectifier and it died.
I purchased an 8 pole stator and matching rectifier from John (tvnacman). Pulling the stock stator was easy after taking the air shroud and cooling fan off. I used a gy6 flywheel puller to remove the flywheel.
After writing this I have realized my flickr account is being a pain and not embedding pictures...... I will get that figured out and continue this post......
New stator installed:
Now the real questions. The new stator has these outputs (three yellows, green, red/black tracer, yellow/blue tracer):
Here is what the stock stator plugged into on the scooter (yellow, white, green):
Here is the wires going to the stock CDI (red/white tracer, black/red tracer):
Here is the wires on the new rectifier (red, green, black, white):
Lastly, here is the stock rectifier with the plug going to it (yellow, white, red, green):
This much I know.... The three yellow wires from the stator need to go directly to the three yellow inputs on the new rectifier. For those I just plan on running three new wires all the way up. The green wire from the rectifier should go to the scooter ground, which I believe should be the green from the stock rectifier plug. The red wire should go to the main DC power distribution of the scooter, which should be the red in the stock rectifier bundle.
Is this correct so far? Also, for the cdi wires coming from the new stator, which color goes to which one for the actual scoot cdi connection?
What do I need to do with the rest of the wires coming from the regulator? I'm working on a wiring diagram piece by piece and I will be posting that soon. Basically, for the new rectifier, what is the function of each of those wires, the red, green, black and white?
Thanks,
Eric.
