Before throwing anything away, I always look for things I can reuse elsewhere. In this case, an LED from a broken computer power supply. Perfect for adding a neutral light indicator on my 50 and it was green too. =) If you do this mod, don’t forget to add a resistor, otherwise you will burn out the LED.
Here’s the video from the last Rock Store ride. We saw a line of Ferraris (7 second marker) and an SV rider low side (3:20 marker).
I just recently picked up a 117 motor for the ZB, but since it’s far from completion, I threw it in the monkey for the time being.
If you want headlights on your 50, besides the obvious pars list e.g. headlight, regulator, yada yada yada, you need a way to create electricity. You can of course buy a pre-wound stator for around $75 or you can diy for a fraction of the cost.
Now before you pop off the stator cover and flywheel, you will need to buy some magnet wire. I got mine on ebay from magnet*wire*usa. And, from what I have read online, 18awg and 65 turns seem to be the magic numbers, so that’s what I used. It cost a little over $20 for 200 feet which I hear is enough to wrap 2 stators.
This weekend, I finished installing the 108 motor into the monkey and took it for a short test ride. The motor ran strong and sounded sweet with the Over exhaust. Everything went well…
The new motor is complete. It has a TB108 Stage 3 kit, TB manual clutch, and an AHP 4 speed transmission.
The install was pretty straight forward, but there’s several things worth mentioning…
Here are some pics of the baja completed. The motor needs a little tuning and I need to shorten up some cables, but for now it’s pretty much done. =)
