Default Blowing headlight and tail light (what can I do?)

Wen ever I race at night the first pas with my lights on the low beam will buen out and then the tail light (I have the led one) Then I will turn on the high beam then it will blow. If I just ride normal it is fine all night. What do I need to upgrade now??

This has been an ongoing problem with the ds. I assume you are running an aftermarket cdi. Some people think with the extra rpm range of the cdi, its somehow shorting out the lights. Do a search for headlights, and tailights.

Put a Meter on your battery and rev it up, it should read past 14.2 volts if it does, your Rectifier will probably need changing.




Bigger.

sounds like the power is going higher at the higher rpms, i'd go with bigger on this one
