tt-r420

I have been running an ATV light directly out of my battery and I have been very impressed, minus having to push-start my bike when the battery runs down. I helped 2 of my friends rewind their stators on their CRF50s using some online write-ups. They say that each spoke (or whatever you guys in the know-how call it) should be wrapped 65 times (I think, its been a while). I was wondering how this is determined and if anyone knows how many would be needed for the TT-R50 using 18 gauge magnet wire. Has anyone done it before? Any info would be greatly appreciated as i dont want to screw anything up (espically electrical).

Nobody?

If you don't see what your looking for P.M. me and I will find it!

Thanks. Noone else? I was hoping to do it myself.

there is no reason to have to rewind your stator on the ttr 50 it already has a lighter stator in it on the baja design web site they dont offer rewound stator because the ttr puts ot like 50-80 watts enought to run lights hope this helps

Btw when you wind your stator, just make as many windings as possible
If you can fit all 65 windings, go for it.. If you can't, don't do less on one post then another!

I believe it is, the more windings, the more amps..
And bigger gauge wire = more voltage

Contact yellowrider as he offers stator wrapping services to PM members for a low price. He might have some input..

Yeah I ended up taking the light apart and I noticed that when you turn the light off it only interrupts one wire. So I reversed them going into my battery and it no longer drains my battery when the bike isn't running. I think im going to try a fog light next and see whats brightest... thanks for all the input.

If you do this, make sure you run the proper charging setup!


I think for a battery, you need a REGULATOR not a RECTIFIER (or maybe I have that backwords)

Vehicals that just have headlights, but no battery, use I believe a regulator, and it shunts the power over 12v to the frame... Problem with this is, if your battery is at say 12.6v holding a good charge, the regulator will drop it down to 12v and kill your battery..

However bikes with a battery and headlights, have a rectifier, that regulates the voltage a different way, so that it can't drain the battery..


(I might have regulator and rectifier mixxed up)

When I look up the parts, it says rectifier/regulator. I have no clue when it comes to electrical, but most places want like $200 for it!
