rec reg kit for bigfoot 140

[crim 87]

hey guys wired up my bike today just copying a mates 125. he had 6 wires coming off his motor and i only had four we wired it all up and got the brake light working couldn't get the head lights on cause every time we flicked the switch to on when the bike was running the bike would stall ?? anyone else had problems like this putting the kit on there 140 ???

 

[BananaMan]

you obviously dont have the right magneto to run a light kit if you only have 4 wires, the one you have taken as power when you flick the switch earts out and acts like the kill switch.
you will either need batteries or a new magneto.
sorry for the bad news...

 

[crim 87]

oh ok cause got the rectifier but if it needs a battery thats what it needs what size battery do you use

 

[crim 87]

or how much is a new magneto ?? the engine is a zongshen 140 if that helps suss out the prob

 

[SnItChY]

bgattery alone will be no good it wont charge off the bike

you need a new stator , ie a stator with the white and yellow wires , for lights and charge

bout 65 bucks if i remember from dhz

Yep $65:
- DHZ Mini Moto - Stator & Magneto, Seals

Or is it this one:
- DHZ Mini Moto - Outer Rotor Stator & Magneto, Seals GPX 125cc 160cc ?

That one is $69. Also check out these wirering diagrams:

Goodluck.

bulldog the second one is no good, he needs either the first one you posted or this one:
NEW OUTER ROTOR KIT ADJUST TIMING 140cc 150cc 160cc - eBay, Other Cars, Bikes, Boats, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 16-Dec-09 00:02:04 AEDST)

thanks for your help guys will all these be compatiable with the zongshen engine also. rip will the one you posted boost performance in any way ??

 

[DvDRip]

yea mate it will be fine on any horizontal engine 140 or above.
and yea the performance boot is in the timing, it has a digital ignition which advances the timing at above 4000 rpm, the timing is also adjustable so you can make the bike easier to start and better bottom end grunt by retarding it, without losing top end thanks to advance after 4000 rpm. The flywheel is also lighter so the engine will rev up quicker and better throttle response.

 

[crim 87]

oh sick that sounds pretty good are the hard to install ??

 

[DvDRip]

you need a flywheel puller and an impact driver to get the stator off. but it's pretty much bolt on and go

 

[bulldog93]

It's really easy to do. Check my tut:

It'll be nearly the same execpt you'll have to adjust where the pick up sensor is.

 

[crim 87]

flyerwheel puller where would i get one of them from the local bike shop ??

 

[bulldog93]

DHZ have them for $25 bucks:
- DHZ Mini Moto - Flywheel Puller Stator

I have just been through this with my atomik bigfoot and frankly it was a major head**** that wasn't worth the effort.
The adjustable ignition kit needs a coil that is quite unique, a one wire coil, otherwise it interfears with the cdi and won't rev.
Headlight is $70
Mirror $10
Brake switch $15
Tail light $50
Rectifier $30
Adjustable ignition kit $90
Crankcase Stator Cover $40
Flywheel puller $25
Coil $?
Ebay fees on all this $??
It is not easy wiring all this **** up, I took this kit to an auto electrician and they couldn't work it out. $200 thanks


Plus rim locks, decent chain, loctite, decent engine oil, decent brake fluid, decent tyres and tubes,
Plus the huge (and I mean huge) amount of time spent sourcing and setting it all up all for a bike that is seriously fragile and really doesn't cut it in the bush. You could buy a set up motocross bike that is a few years old for around the same money.
If your going to race it on a track and be fully into the whole pit bike scene then
i would say go for it but as a fun bush bike, the numbers don't add up.
