Help with stator/wiring upgrade

[Kendog]

Hey people

I'm currently trying to find an electrical fault on my bike (ec200 yr2002)
Whilst fitting a new wiring harness I managed to cause a short with a nice bright spark now my bike hasn't run since

I've replaced, Coil/cap, Cdi and Pickup also I have made the ignition circuit as minimal as possible (no kill switch) checked all earths etc

Now my last option is stator, to be fair I would like to run some heated grips and a bright headlight so looking at a 250watt 3 phase stator with regulator rectifier and a small lithium ion battery

My questions are how do I go about wiring in the battery and would I need an inline fuse?
Any advice info is appreciated

Cheers
Ken

It sounds like the stator winding to the CDI has failed. On my bike it is the BK/RD and RD/WH wires coming from the stator. If you hooked up a voltmeter set to read AC voltage, you should get some response when kicking the bike over quickly (spark plug out, grounded on the head).

I assume you are looking at the Electrex G147 + RR58. They don't have a connection diagram on their site. You should ask them for that. I'd like to know how it hooks up since I am considering buying those parts too. They have other instructions posted on something called dropbox, but I couldn't get the download to work. I emailed them and hopefully they will reply.

The answer came quickly from Electrex. The 3 phase connection diagram shows that the windings are isolated from chassis ground (some call this floating). All phases go into the rectifier/regulator and battery minus is grounded. This would work well. The parts numbers are slightly different, but this would only be from the wiring connectors.

Hey bud
That's perfect bit of info there, very helpfull and has solved my problem
Is there any need for an inline fuse on the +pole of battery?

I'm not exactly an electrical expert more a novice but I have noticed fuses on all the other bikes I've owned.

When are you going to buy the stator?
That's the same company I've been messaging and same unit!

Fuses are always a good idea. Maybe 250W is enough to start a fire if there is a direct short. The real concern is a situation that shorts out the battery; it can dump a lot of currently quickly and is far more likely to burn wires than the stator.

Hurry and order the 250W unit, I need to see if it works fine for you before spending my own money.

How come I have to be the person to test the stator I'm bloody skint lol

Inline fuse has to be bought now you mentioned fire.....
Don't really want to be on fire in the middle of no where

Hi guys, I am Spiros I am from Greece and I recently bought a 2006 ec300 and this is my first post here.
I have some problems with my stator and I don't have power to nothing more than the engine. I just saw this thread and I would really like to see what the outcome is because I like to order a new stator and put a battery to my harness.

 

[Kendog]

The company who is supplying the stator kit is also made me a capacitor bank instead of a battery.
Don't really have the need for a battery and the capacitors worked out ?18 shipped to me all fully assembled.

Can post up how it all goes for people interested

Cheers

Job done

Stator swapped over
Had to install new dc reg/rec and some super capacitors in the air box
All is well bike runs well.

 

[Neil E.]

Good to see you got it sorted out. Now you need to pimp the bike with massive lights to use all that new found wattage. Since you are not consuming the lighting output, does the voltage rectifier warm up at all?

 

[Kendog]

Yeh the reg/rec does get warm but it's got decent size cooling fins on there and I've mounted it inside the airbox so hopefully there should be some air movement to keep it cool.

Heated grips and some Cree spots will be on there soon.
250watt is a lot of power to be fair but I couldn't find anything else reasonably prices apart from 50watt.

[SpirosZ1000]

As you said nothing else in such reasonable price.
Nice to see it's working because I am about to order them my self. The only thing that's putting me into thought is that I want to install a battery but I haven't found something small yet.

 

[Kendog]

Try lithium ion battery. Smaller than acid battery
The capacitor pack I got is half the size of a packet of 10 gigarettes doesn't hold any power just takes care of the excess power

Thanks for the info. I 'll do a search about li-ion batteries.
