I had my 15 minutes of fame and it was strange. It was quite crushing to have so many people praise me in excess. Found myself believing it at times, then having to tear down my ego to see it was fallacy in most cases. I find myself to be better off under-rated, and not having so many people trying to get my attention and distracting me. Great to hear you delve into these subjects a bit.

I understand that you want it all self contained on the bike but an LED bicycle headlight is the easiest option. The young man will be moving up to a bigger bike soon, I’m sure you will think ahead about lighting at that point.

[@st200ol]

KISS. I agree. 🙂

[@patarmstrong3582]

Lol. I'm a 180 lb 50ish year old. My kx 65 has an appropriate rear shock, and is an absolute blast to ride. Mom has the kx 100, junior needs a headlight on THIS bike.

[@theboogeyman9813]

Ladies and Fellers. Represent!

[@DanielTekmyster]

You’ll need an aftermarket or rewound stator that includes a lighting coil. Look for companies like Ricky Stator or Electrosport, which offer custom or upgraded stator solutions. Alternatively, you can have your existing stator rewound to include a lighting coil. Several companies offer stator rewinding services and can modify it to output power for lighting.

[@twocvbloke]

Go for LED instead of incandescent, they use much less power that might not cut the engine out, the magneto in that bike is probably only rated just enough to power the ignition module, and that bulb is drawing too much current from it and is pulling down the power causing it to stall... :)

[@jenniesgarage]

Yeah that bulb probably sucked all the power the magneto was making.

[@bertgrimm7722]

I want to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving, your friend Bert from Michigan.

[@NuclearFacility]

Run the light bar off of a drill battery instead of the motorcycle itself. When the battery dies you just recharge it. I’ve also heard of places rewinding existing stators to produce more electrical output.

[@NicoBiturbo]

Suggestion for a experiment: remove the flywheel cover to see if there is free space for additional windings to put yourself. If yes, put additional windings, get a rectifier and a voltage regulator and make a completely independent electronic circuit for the battery and light.

[@20vK]

Perhaps you can utilise the gas power, rather than existing electrical system? In the Netherlands when I was a kid, lots of pushbikes used dynamos to power lights that would run off contact with the wheel as it turned. Perhaps you could rig up something similar? Could connect to a battery if you also wanted lights on when the bike is stationary

[@richbowie76]

LOL...we even get an unboxing video in the mix !

[@njmxjunkie3128]

You can easily rewind a stator and ad a separate lighting coil. Also kx85/kx80 coil should fit😊

[@WreckedRevival]

@6:00 lmao yeah I've been doing KZbin off and on over 10 years now hoping my channel would catch some traction, done a lot more videos the past few years because I was lucky enough to get some support from family to open a moto shop. It's definitely still been a struggle even with work constantly flowing in and almost no balance between work and personal life, especially when it comes to doing more frequent video uploads. When I was doing weekly videos last year or the year before it was constant 14-18 hour days of straight work and really burnt me out with little to show for it aside from a shop full of bikes. It's been veryyyy hard to try and make KZbin a career at least in my case. Loving your daily videos though keep up the good work!

[@utdesertghost199]

I had a similar situation with my 99 DR 350 dirt model which is a kick start and AC powered headlight with no other power because it did not have a battery. I modified the existing stator output wiring and added a regulator rectifier so I could have a DC system to run a led headlight and street legal kit. I was curious if it had enough power to run a pair of off-road led lights and surprisingly it has worked awesome. I've been running this setup for over 3 years now with no issues. Lights stay bright no matter the rpm and the off road lights even though cheap Amazon units are amazingly bright.

[@hladick]

First thing would be using a multimeter set to ac volts and determine the voltage off the generator. The next hurdle is can it be regulated without affecting the CDI.

[@Ijusthopeitsquick]

The incandescent bulb is probably sucking up all the current, effectively shorting the ignition coil. You could try a resistor inline with the bulb, or better still, a resistor and a LED instead of the bulb.

[@drakesfear]

If you can't find a lighting coil kit for that bike, you can try an isolation transformer. You may be able to sap some electricity w/o killing the motor.

[@HeyItsJonSchwartz]

Are you guys planning on taking Thursday off? I for one advocate that you guys deserve at least a 1 day break.

[@MainelyMoto207]

Didn't you do upgrade the generator on Jennies Kawasaki to fix the lighting? Shouldn't it be the same issue?

[@jenniesgarage]

Yes but that one was easy because lighting coils were available for that bike.

[@patarmstrong3582]

If there is room on the stator plate, you can absolutely add another coil. The distance to the flywheel magnet should be the same as the ignition coil spacing. This shouldn't be difficult for you, Jake.

[@jonathantouboul159]

The bulb is just grounding the spark (granted, through a small resistor, but the filament is just making continuity between live and ground). Of course that's not an issue when the coil for lights is separated from the coil for spark. But you did not lose everything, you can repurpose this as a fancy killswitch!

[@jinkerGM]

Maybe a battery powered light might work best?

[@StraightLineCycles]

They make LED light bulbs for your interior, they have resistors built-in so that they can accept 12 V.They're actually 1.5 led's. So you should be able to run three or four of them coming straight out of the generator.

[@EnduringGuerila]

Are the power lines you're tapping into not AC current from the generator and you need DC for that 12v bulb? Didn't look closely enough at the diagram but I assume you need an AC/DC converter if there isn't one baked into that box. I think I remember seeing you use a multimeter on this channel, you could probe the wires with that and see if it's AC or DC and what voltages it's running at.

[@AVarietyOfPleasingHeads]

an incandescent light bulb will run on AC. consider that lamps plug directly into the wall. incandescent bulbs are just wires that get so hot from current passing through them that they glow.

[@RawTopShot]

Catch some Pixies , house them in a suitably sized tin and they'll happily work for moondust. Or... You could try an old bicycle dynamo that runs off the wheel/tyre, to charge a small powerbank under the seat area, from which you could connect a small compact yet powerful light output led torch Those outdoors "headlight" kick out a fair bit of lumens .

[@daveb8598]

what about the old school bicycle light kits with the little roller that runs against the wheel, use that to charge a battery?

[@RichlinMediaGroup]

I wonder if you could adapt one of the bicycle wheel (Dynamo) style generators to power the light for your son's motorcycle?

[@jonlambshead5115]

buy another coil like the one it has on it now, if there is a spot on the stator plate For it ??

[@EnduringGuerila]

Yea, even if there isn't a 'kit' for the bike, you might already have a spot to bolt in a second coil to increase what it's generating.

[@patarmstrong3582]

You need a lighting coil. It is wound different than an ignition coil.

[@patarmstrong3582]

I'd look for one for a z50. Stator plate and flywheel is small like a kx 65. A z50 lighting coil is likely to fit and work.

[@JoeTheBlacksmith13]

How about one of those generators that run friction drive off of a wheel like they used to do on bicycles. Could possibly charge a battery that powers the light. ?

[@jenniesgarage]

That is a doable idea and if I can't think of something more elegant, might try it.

[@korasov]

[@1956model1]

You could get one of those headlight generator sets made for a bicycle. Where the generator is spun by rubbing against the front tire. Kinda Bobo, I know, but it would work. 😉

[@MrMannakin]

It might come to that, but would like to have it run off the flywheel.

[@MrCoreyanderson]

I’m not sure what terrain you’re riding in but if you’re in dry areas what if you set up a small electric generator that is square shaft driven and set up a small fan onto it as the means for rotation. As he moves the more the fan spins the energy created and stored into a small battery which would run the lights. Cage it In for protection. 25$ solution

[@jenniesgarage]

Interesting. Wind power!

[@patarmstrong3582]

Keep it simple, add the lighting coil.

[@Jools-j2l]

Use a bicycle dynamo, the type the rubs against the tyre, usually 6v, but be enough to run a light.

[@jenniesgarage]

If I did that I would have to get a huffy crossbar pad too.

[@Farlig69]

Pretty sure connecting in parallel is your issue making the bike stop. Try to connect the lamp in series on one of the lines out of the mag. Better still connect a volt meter in parallel first to see what the magneto is putting out. You might need to cap the voltage out with a zener diode for your battery charging... Least that's how my lights were run (no battery) from the mag on an old IT250...

[@patarmstrong3582]

The incandescent bulb draws all of the available current from the magneto, and it quits firing the spark. And incandescent would never work here. Must be an led, or he needs to find more electricity ( add a coil,and use an led is the solution)

[@Alexander_l322]

I know what you’re trying to do but honestly is it really worth the hassle to add a generator when you can simply zip tie a led light bar to the bike and be done with it. Seems like the cheapest and best way to me or you could make a bracket (we all know you like a good bracket) so the light can be taken off to charge.

[@patarmstrong3582]

Then we would watch a video of Jake zip tying shit to a bike... Trust the process.

[@16driver16]

Idk how comparable atc110 engine is. But I used the AC power without a battery to power the lights, but it came with a headlight and tail light. I needed brake light as well for my ct90 so I put LED in the rear with an ESR00012 voltage regulator. I don't think a regulator rectifyer would work

[@ToddJohnson-xe2dw]

Will a rectifier work

[@jenniesgarage]

If I would have been able to get a little ac power without killing the engine, I'd install a regulator/rectifier next

[@patarmstrong3582]

Definitely not enough electricity to rectify. You need another coil.

[@knikula]

maybe a Zener diode triggered circuit can clip the peak of that waveform...

[@NicoBiturbo]

There is no point. The alternator as is, cannot supply enough wattage for the ecu and light at the same time.

[@kirkwright6301]

Determine the voltage with a multimeter And if it has enough voltage, use a diode between the firing circuit and the battery!

[@kirkwright6301]

And if that don’t work, I have another idea, but it’s hard to explain! Let me know !

[@patarmstrong3582]

It doesn't. A diode won't help. There's not enough electricity to rectify. It's a burst of high voltage ac. Perfect to fire a spark plug. It needs a lighting coil fastened to the stator plate where the ignition coil is. Jake will have to drill and tap 2 holes for the coil and choose one that fits. He already did the kx 100, but was able to just buy the stator plate ready to go with two coils. I have a kx 65 and a few z50s, which have lighting coils or not depending on age. This is easily done, sort of. It requires the fabrication skills Jake already has.

[@fungunfanatic]

[@lydiahanke]

Put a magnet in the spokes and a Dynamo on the fork. Something like on a bicycle more than enough 2 run a light!
