head/tail light issue. thinking about selling it.  By  04prixgt04 (Read 730 times)

2 things... the voltage testing off the stator was the same on both stators and the stator isgrounded to the engine where the fan cover attatches. it was like that when i bought it. Is that right. the guy that soldit to me said he replaced the stator. maybe he screwed up?

thanx. I really am heart set on the bike. I also was heart set that the new stator was gonna work. I think the seller replaced an 8 pole with a six but stille the flywheel size issue doesn't make since. anywho, thanx again and glad to be here.

6 mags. i thought the same thing.

Welcome to the forum. Have read about your troubles and for sure you're not having the best of luck.

OK lets start by simply saying if the voltage readings you are giving is correct the stator/s you have are toast plain and simple.

Here are the correct readings as they should be:



The 4Vac on the yellow wire won't cut it. Now on wiring the head/tail lights directly to the battery on a 6 or 8 pole stator is a no-no not enough amps to maintain it and the battery not happening and you need to put it back like it was. Here is the tech place for Roketa wiring diagrams and the Bali 150 will match your scooter.

Reason they are dim when correctly hooked up is that the yellow wire is the supply wire for the lights off of the R/R and with only 4Vac they will be very dim.

Now as to the stators going to a 8-pole will give you more amps and will charge the battery a lot more effectively and the 6 magnet flywheel is a no match for the 8-pole stator. You can buy a 8-pole stator as cheap as a 6-pole one anyway.

Now on the grounding it's simple the stator has a ground wire and is grouned to the engine when installed but the ground wire to the fan cover you mentioned is a MUST! This ground wire should bolt up to the fan cover, go to the frame where the negative battery cable hooks up and also where the green wire to the R/R should hook up to. Also the R/R needs to be bolted up on a clean place to properly ground also. Make sure the frame where these wires hook up are paint free and clean.

If you run this scooter over 30 seconds with the engine ground unhooked you will fry one or both sides of the stator plain and simple. The engine MUST be grounded properly to the battery. When they mount the engine it's mounted via means of rubber bushing mounts thus the ground wire to the fan cover, some people ground to the valve cover, doesn't matter it needs a good ground.

Personally I would upgrade to a 11-pole stator as mentioned but a 8-pole will do fine especially if you install LED bulbs and such and will do well with a good quality battery. Here is the instructions for a 11-pole upgrade:

Tvnacman sells both setups will beat anyones price and tests his stuff before sending, I'll send him a text to let him know to check with you.

We're here to help and keep us informed.
