Z160Ho lighting and battery charging?

[Batesey25]

Welp, I've changed the wiring aaaaand it doesn't seem to do much at all :/ Might try a 4 pin rectifier whenever it gets here... Or sell this god damn thing and buy something that will actually work So frustrating trying to get this thing just right

so what stator are you running?

He bought the Lifan 150 adjustable timing outer rotor kit.

I was 99% sure it needed the stator backing plate machined so the flywheel had clearance to it.

Batesys' RX has a 5 terminal Reg/Rec, what does your bike run ?

Mine runs 5 pin

Yeah it would have needed machining, but as I said we just decided to take the charging parts off the lifan stator and bolt them on to the z160 stator and used the z160 flywheel. It fit perfectly and the way we had it wired up seemed to be running well for a while, and now theres next to no charge :/ Perhaps it could just be the 5 pin rectifier not liking the single output stator?

I've actually looked up lifan 150 diagrams and they always use a 4 pin reg/rec. I've ordered one and it should be here later today. The difference between that and the 5 pin is that there is no black wire on the 4 pin. And looking at a wiring diagram for the motovert there seems to be many black wires coming off all the lights and brake sensors that eventually join up to that one black wire on the 5-pin reg/rec. I can put up a pic of it if I'm not making much sense Maybe black is just an earth for all the lights and stuff?

I will consider your setup if I can't get my one to work

Hahaha omg that's munted!

You mentioned before you have an LED headlight. What is it and where did you get it from? I've been looking everywhere for one

Woo! Back from the bike shop and it charges its battery again Turns out running it with a 4 pin rectifier and the dual output setup I had the first time is the way to go. Its back to 12.5v at idle with the lights on and 13+ when revved. Lights off it's higher by about a volt or two. Finally...

Spotted the cheap ($60) YX160 Outer Rotor Stator/Flywheel kit with lighting coil's on ebay again the other night.

These are pretty good value for the money, it use's the lightest flywheel available too
