Anyone try to put a lazerstar or legitimate light on a Viper 90? Is it possible?

 

I don't know if your Viper has a stator or not, but even if it does, it will most likely not handle LazerStars.

 

Will any other light work? Can anyone tell me if Viper 90s have a stator?

 

After looking at the parts list for your E-ton, there isn't a stator on your ATV. They usually don't have stators unless they came with working lights. Any light you put on is going to drain the battery, but if you do decide to put a light on, I wouldn't go with a halogen.

 

The Viper90 does have working lights but i wouldn't really call them functional. they aren't very bright as others have stated on other posts. If it does not have a stator I wonder how the battery maintains a charge?

 

At this point I am not sure if they do have a stator or not. It looks like the headlights are just an LED light and the tail light is a low draw bulb. I replaced the headlights on our Redcat 150 and they are dim. The stock headlights were dim too, there just wasn't enough of a charge from the stator to make them very bright. If you replace your stock headlights with a set of Wal-Mart driving lights, that should work. But I would mount only one of the lights, you will find that it will be brighter only having one light drawing from the stator. Before you do that, do a test to see if you have a stator. Hook up a different light to the wiring that goes to your headlights. See if they get brighter whenever you give it throttle. If they do, you have a stator.

 

all bikes have a stator. the stator is what makes the energy for the spark.

not all stators have a lighting or charging coil in them. thats the question.

if a bike comes with a battery in it should have a charging coil in the stator. but with these chinese jobs who the heck knows what there doing. a way to tell is to check the voltage of the battery,then start the bike and rev it up and see if the voltage increases.

 

I always called what generates the spark the magneto, and what creates the charge for the battery the stator. I think people call them all different sorts of things, but do what carlw said and check the voltage at the battery under throttle and under idle.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Thanks to all

 

You are half rite godilovetoride.

It is a magneto for sure.100% corect.

The stator is part of a magneto. the stator is the part with all of the windings.The stator stays stationary and the rotor spins. On a dirt bike motor, the rotor is the flywheel.Put these two parts together and you have a magneto.

A dirtbike magneto is sort of like a inside out generator. On say your back up generator for your house the rotor spins inside of the stator. On your dirt bike engine the rotor spins around the stator ,You see what i am saying.There the same thing just built differently.They do the same thing though.

Your dirt bike uses permanant magnents so it can be small and doesent need exteranl excitation like a house generator does because it uses electro magnets.So it needs to be excited before it cranks out the juice.They create a little AC voltage from just spinning a hunk of metal inside onther hunk of metal and that voltage is held up in a capaciter then shot out and bang your off.
