'79 TS185 battery bypass
One of the things that I like best about this bike is that it doesn't need a battery to start / run.
The problem is that the headlight will burn out if the bike is ridden without a battery. Apparently, the magneto puts out too much voltage without the battery load.
This magneto has several outputs:
yellow\red wire = lights
yellow\white wire = charge battery
green wire (tap of charge coil) = unused
Is there a fix to re-wire the lights to a different magneto output so a batteryless bike can be ridden without burning out the headlight?
If I wire the lights to the charge coil, will the coil be able to handle the extra load without burning out?
I noticed that newer models of this bike have a voltage regulator connected to the lights. Should I put one of these on my bike?
Anybody tried this b4?
Thanks!
