Interesting thing happening on my bike since I pulled the Nice motor out of it. The only thing that is different, to the electrical system that is, is the change out of the original honda Nice stator and flywheel and in its place is a chinese stator and flywheel.



Now, my lightbulbs keep popping that are setup to run inline with the rectifier/regulator. Annoying. Any ideas?

what are you working with does it have a battery? on the rev whats your voltage output not on ac in but the dc out if its putting out over 14 volts id say bad regulator let me know

Well, I'm fairly certain its the regulator. However, the baffling thing is that a regulator doesn't just go for no reason..so what's the reason here? Does my chinese setup put out way more juice, thus the regulator blew? Pretty sure the nice alternator puts out 30 watts to each line.



I suppose I could get one of those high capacity regulators and it would work fine. Just sayin'...

 

[LouK]

ya its possible the chinese stator output is more the only way to know is to test each one with a A/C volt meter and compare the readings rectifier/regulators are under alot of electrical load they do go bad for no reason just like a cdi box does

I had a Similar problem when I was running the Chinese stator stators. I even have the heavy duty regulator. To fix the problem I just wound my own from a stock 50 and haven't had a popped bulb yet. Are you wired in series or in a loop?

I've got a BA Sportster one I'm gonna try on the CL. Wanna borrow it?

ive had no problem with my nice motor and blowing any lights

Yeah..the nice works perfectly. Just switched to a chinese regulator and pop pop pop. And the other thing that stinks is that there is little to no light at idle...and on the nice it had a nice bright light at idle.



Obviously the rectifier did not keep up with the chinese stator output. I"ll get myself a dratv high output version and I'll be just fine I'm sure.

Can I ask why you changed

Sold the Nice engine and popped in a motor I had on the shelf. The nice is by far the best engine I've ever had, but I've got some plans for a big TJR motor and need to offload some stuff to pay for it.



I'm probably going to go with a TJR 158cc. Not sure yet how I'm going to do it yet though. Probably going to get a reconditioned motor and then ship them the cases and cylinder.

I have had the same problem on a couple of builds. I thought an HD rec would fix the dull lights at idle but it did not.



Surprisingly, I went to a china CDI setup on an old 6volt CL70, and using the original selenium rectifier has had no problems so far....

Having read sooo many of your posts it feels ridiculous to ask this...



Didn't manage to reverse the yellow and white wires out of the stator to the bikes harness by chance? W.R.T. ground, out of the stator harness the yellow wire should have about half of the resistance of the white.

Sorry for the Hi jack.

I run a DTRAV 6 volt rectifier, sub harness, Lifan Stator, cdi coil, Stock Honda CDI and blow the headlight all the time at high RPM.

It is a 6 volt bike but I run a 12 volt head light bulb. I tried a different DRATV rectifier & stator and it still does it.

Tried wiring in another rectifier or ressistor in the headlight shell that DRATV sell and lost power ?.

I don't know.

 

[tblumer]

Yeah just blew my lights too, lifan stator and that 4 pin 12v rectifier/regulator. I have the HD regulator coming from the Dr. I'd like to know the fix before I spend another 30 bucks on bulbs.
