Parklight Battery Driven And Headlight Stator Driven Diy Diagram

recheck mo yung wiring mo paps baka nakatap ka pa rin sa Y/R wire, at palaging echeck mo yung voltage para iwas sunog sa LED...
YUng lang nmn yun dba?yung yellow/red wire n supply galing magneto ididisconnect?tpos magtatap sa brown wire na galing ignition papuntang switch on/off ng parklight/headlight..Correct me if im wrong..:(:confused::eek:
Ang ipinagtataka ko lng kpag stock peanutbulb/parklight ok nmn xa..
ok cge thanks paps..recheck ko nlng din..

do i need to put relay if i want to make my headlight and auxiliary battery operated? or shud i connect it directly to the brown wire?
No need to put relay bro, Just connect yellow wire to brown wire then disconnect yellow going to stator ( yellow wire at headlight cowling).

Calling the attention of papa @john_carlo, @thon :help:
I install the rtd-LED and converted my headlight and parklight to battery operated the way you have said unfortunately all my LED peanut bulb (parklight) was busted "kaboom"..Bakit kaya? pati yung LED backlight ng panel..:help:
Did you cut the yellow wire at rectifier bro?

No sir, i just pulled out the yellow/red wire and covered it with electrical tape.. and i tap from the brown wire on ignition to supply the headlight and parklight from battery...

Check your charging voltage bro, it should not exceed 15volts even at high RPM.

My share.. This is my version of changing auxiliary lights to battery operated and maintaining the stator operation for the headlight..

Updated as of Nov. 9, 2012 to avoid confusion;)


This is good for all of those who wants to maintain your headlight to be stator driven..
Note: Already included here the hazzard light diagram.:D
I hope this helps and happy DIY guys!:thumbsup:

Sir Good Day...As I studied your diagram, Is the function of the headlight/aux. light is the same as it is?... My understanding in your diagram is the Headlight is at AHO manner and the function of the headlight/aux. switch is for AUX. LIGHTS ONLY.....Correct me if I'm wrong sir....

Your understanding is right bro @ross42102 that the diagram is for AHO because that's the only clear copy of diagram that I have..:D But If you've also noticed, I've modified the diagram and reflect the headlight/aux. switch to make it not-AHO which functions not only for the aux light but also to operate the headlight on/off.. See the connection from HL switch feeding power supply to the relay..:thumbsup:

I already understand the connection sir when i saw the picture that you posted too...It find to me confusing the diagram that you revised because of the terminal connection in the switch assembly....:D:D:D

Here's my observation sir in your picture attached:
  1. When I switch on the HEADLIGHT ONLY, the power from Battery Operated Switch Assembly from Connection B to C from the picture will charged the relay and it will make contact from the initial terminal connection of a normaly open to normaly close terminal and do so, the Stator will supply power to Headlight Bulb what on the Connection A to D explained.
  2. And if I switch on now BOTH the AUX light and the headlight in the SWITCH ASSEMBLY, the same sequence and principle from Item #1 on the headlight BUT, the aux light will light-on from a battery operated power supply hence that we already cut-off the Y/R Wire from stator ang connected it to BROWN Wire. In this manner the power sequence is, the battery charging the relay for headlight w/c explains in ITEM #1 and the same time also, it supply power to all Aux Lights(BLUE WIRE).

Therefore sir I conclude, SWITCHED ASSEMBLY retain its the same functionality. NO SHORT CIRCUIT will happen coz the relay now separated the Stator Powered Headlight Terminal Line & Battery Powered Aux Light Terminal...... ***NOSEBLEED:oops:***


PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG AGAIN FOR THE BENEFIT TOO OF OTHER READER WHO ARE CONFUSE IN THIS TOPIC...........;);););)

You're correct sir..:thumbsup: but you cannot switch the headlight only because typically this is the sequence of our switch..

1. OFF
2. AUX only (Park light)
3. AUX + HEADLIGHT :D

But over all you are correct bro..:D The system is already battery operated and we use the relay to utilize the stator power for the headlight only..:D Nice Job bro @ross42102 !!:thumbsup:

AW!!!!,,,,I already forgot the sequence of switch operation coz i dont have my MX beside me to checked the switch operation when i replied in your Thread...My bad and sorry....:oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:

Anyway thanks for the reply sir @bhek_21 and your mods is very good coz we dont need to add an extra switch anymore if we will add LED lights for our aux light...:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Actually it's the same sequence with the switch operation of Sniper Classic..;) :D :thumbsup:
