I'm working on a Redcat for my neighbor. After flushing the tank, cleaning the carb, and fixing the coil wires, I got her to fire up! I'm concerned about some of the wiring however. The following pictures are all the "loose ends" up front.

Picture 1 is the coil wiring I fixed
Picture 2 shows the Neutral indicator wire and what I believe to be the Reverse indicator, the N wires are torn but tested positive when I shifted, the R has a holder and bulb but I think the bulb is bad
Picture 3 is the headlight wiring (I think in the case of the torn wires)
Picture 4 shows 2 wires that I don't know what they are (what else is up in the front?)

Does anyone have a wiring chart? Tech manual?

 

Any idea where I could find the model number/name?

 

hmm, this tells me it might be a VX-200.....

 

ah ha! after studying my ZOngshen, I determined the mystery wires must be hi(or)low for the headlights!

 

Yup, all those wires up front are for your headlights. Also, the ones up front that are two wires are normally some sort of indicator. Mine are for what gear your in. One of mine is when the key is activated.

 

thanks, there are indicators for "N" and "R" on the handlebar fairing

 

While it was running, the cooling fan never kicked on, how do I verify that system is working, is there a thermostat?

 

Again I stand corrected. I was pretty tired while posting last night. The mystery wires are actually part of the indicator light bundle BUT the shroud only has 2 indicators so what could that be?

What are people doing to replace headlights? I don't think $50-$60 per assembly is very cool.

 

You can usually find the assemblies a lot cheaper on ebay. Just search for the redcat headlight and save it. Eventually someone will part one out somewhere. If you don't ride at night, then I would move on. Or you can fab up something with LED's.

 

Thanks Dano, any thoughts on the extra indicator wires?
