i have an 86 lt250r, and i have an eletronics problem...... when i first got it, a year ago, the headlight ran fine... no problems, now a years and 1/2 later, there is a problem. the magneto is fine, and the bulb is fine, works with a battery.. the headlight is stock, about 60 watts. now my question is, there is the high and low beam switch we are all familur with.. well, in order for my headlight to work, 2 wires have to be put together, one is power, and the other is both the negitive and postive side, thats the thing i am wondering about, because every time i touch the 2 wires, they spark... so what should i do? try to splint the one wire into 2 wires?




LT249R

 

.....bump

 

i dont know which wires u wanna hook together but i can tell ya the diagram u go from there the yellow is highbeam off your switch to light the white is low beam from switch to light and black and white is ground. so if ur asking how check it id start at ur on/off lighting switch unless its been removed and hook the red/yellow to the gray if works replace that switch . if dont wrk hook the red /yellow to the yellow on light not for high rpms as ur bypassing ur regulator. but if it works replace dimmer switch gl let me know how it turns out

 

and if u need diagram send me email at shon_in_mich@yahoo.com and ill send u it.

 

i sent you a e-mail... ok.. here is the colors of wires that i can see... (there is no switch.. just a low and high beam switch) ok.. the 2 wires that need to be put together for the light to work is ,,,, a yellow wire with a red stripe, and a greyish white wire.. those are the 2 that need to be put together.,... now.. here are the ones that come from the high and low beam switch on the handle bars....... white, yellow, black with a grey stipe, grey, and black with a yellow stipe.. so what u are saying is......

yellow=high beam
white=low beam
black and white=ground

so what u are saying is to take the low or high beam switch connecting it with the yellow/red (which is power from the magneto) .. and this bypasses the regulator?
like u said, only for low rpm's, so what would happen if i went to the high rpms like climbing a hill or so.. would it blow my magneto?

 

no it would blow ur light bulb lol
if u have yahoo messenger add me to ur list and im trying fig out why scanner isnt wrking kids musta played with it grrrr
