Im wondering if anybody has installed a headlamp on a kids sportsman 90. There currently is a reflector where the headlamp would go. The only lighting that comes with it is a brakelight. I was wondering, if the power supply is at one of the locations that are shown in the front, or do I need to do a wiring job?
Anybody have a some suggestions I would appreciate it.

the factory doesn't install headlamps on youth model atv's due to safety. they figure that if the youth atv's don't have a light then kids won't ride them at night which can be dangerous for kids. smart reasoning but dam at least give the parents/adults the right to be able to switch the light on/off instead of just not installing one right?

I would remove the reflector and purchase a light that will fit in it's place. then you'll probably have to make a wire harness to power the light. just go to autozone or walmart and get some red and black 10/12 gauge wire, an inline fuse and an on/off toggle switch. wire the negative to the battery or good ground and the positive from the light to one side of the toggle switch and then from the other side of the toggle switch to the battery positive with the inline fuse in line somewear between the switch and the battery. good luck and have fun.

 

I am also planning on installing some headlights on our pred 90, just so it is more visible when trailriding, not for riding at night.
I was at Gander Mountain today and saw the new Kolpin 90cc atv, it is very close to the same design as the pred 90, the motor is only
82cc, but it seems to share the design of a lot of the parts. It had a cool set of headlights mounted to brackets bolted right to the frame
where the two holes are on each side for the top of the shocks to mount. I tried see what wattage the bulbs were, but couldn't tell by looking at it.

 

Thanks,
I like the idea of the day time running lights, but I also dont want my son to run his battery, down by leaving the lights on. So I'll have to find a power supply that works with the motor running. What do you think about the supply to the brake light?

 

I think the power supply for the brake switch should work great. check to see if it goes to the switch at the brake lever on the handlebars first, then trace it down under the front plastic to see if it has an extra wire spliced to it to connect into... if not, then splice into it there, and you could also install a switch on the handlebars in case you don't want it on when riding... to charge up the battery better. I think you probably don't want more than a 15-20 watt bulb in each light, so the stater can keep up.

 

I think led style lamps would work best as they don't draw on the electrical system much.

 

We've done a few 90's with headlights, but I really reccamend against it. They drain the battery down pretty bad, even with the motor running.

It's a 12 volt system, you can physically wire into it... But that doesn't mean it was designed to handle that extra electrical load.
