Well, I finally broke down and purhased a brand spankin' new (complete) stator assembly direct from Kawasaki. Last weekend, I lost spark 15 minutes before the race and was converted to a spectator. Ugh. It appears that the trigger coil is actually the culprit, but I am just tired of messing with this problem, so a new one will go in place of the troublsome part tonight.
As luck would have it, with the new stator in the shop and ready to be slipped under the ignition cover, I now have two stator coils at my disposal (the stock one, and the one I purchased when I thought the coil was the problem), both of which bolt nicely on the stator plate where the lighting coil is intended. This has me thinking "light?
. So here is my question.
I can get both the old stock and new stator coil to make a 12 volt light work, so I am thinking about installing the stock stator coil in the lighting coil spot on the new stator plate, and buying one of those trick dual hallogen headlights from Acerbies. Do I need a voltage regulator or can I just run the coil wire right to the light? I don't want to burn out the bulbs and have to buy new bulbs right away, so thought I would get some quick advice from those of you who have lighting experience. I have spent my time making big green go faster and handle well at the higher speeds, so have not spent any time working with lighting systems.
If I need some kind of voltage regulator, where can I get one cheap.
Thanks
Rick
