Default 87 230s electric problems

Hi,

So where do i start????

1. The power generator seems not to be working? is there any way to measure it?

2. Does anybody know which 2 wires from the generator are for the charger controller?

3. Did the original 230s have a battery?

due to the fact that my quad is in Germany and in order for them to get registered
I have to have the complete lights blinkers and brake lights.

4. Will the generator be powerful enough to charge a battery?

5. If my controller is dead will a generic 4 pin controller be enough?

Thanks for any help

Brian

A 230s is a kick start model, so no battery. The generator system is enough for a headlight and tail light, so hooking into it for turn signals and a brake light would be quite a draw on the system if they were all on at once. My suggestion would be LED's. You could have a ton of them and not over-demand the system.
