KX250 CDI/Stator/Flywheel On the KX500

[kkvslayer]

I'm looking at options to put lights on my 86 KX5,I know I can direct swap a later KX5 electronics to my 86 but what about a 250 Setup?The Honda Boys do it to the 500's with great results,anybody tried it on a green machine?

do a search, there has been much discussion, and yes you can do it

the stator on kx 250 81-88 is the same as kx 500 86-88. so this means you can just wire a 250 cdi straight on. very easy done i think. i started a thread on this but took it no further. there are a lot of different cdi's you can use with your stator from 125 250 and 500. pick um up cheap of ebay and just plug and play. as i said in my last thread it would be cool to be able to switch between while on the fly. hmmm k5 with 125 cdi

Im more interested in the lighting capability of the setup then changing the power delivery,My bike has more power and grunt then I will ever need,I live up North In Canada Eh,lol,  Right now its awesome,24 hours of daylight but very soon every night Im gonna start losin a few minutes of daylight which then will turn into a few hours until it flipflops to 24hrs of darkness in December/January,my dirt season ends in late september/early october when the snow flys and the sleds come out,Im just trying to make the best of a short riding season,I guess from what I've read the easiest thing to do is swap out my complete setup for a 89-04 KX500 setup and add a lighting coil,Thanks Guys
