Rewind CRF50 Stator For Lights

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

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.
