Title: XL 600 NO LIGHTS!!!!
Post by: Jonboy on August 07, 2007, 05:13:46 PM

CAN YOU HELP?? I HAVE JUST REPLACED THE STATOR COILS ON MY 1983 HONDA XL600. AT LONG LAST SHE NOW STARTS UP FINE. HOWEVER I BOUGHT THE STATOR COIL FROM www.electrexworld.com WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE ONE SURPLUS GREEN WIRE WHICH GOES INTO THE COILS, BUT NO NEUTRAL LIGHT WIRE. THE BIKE SEEMS TO BE CHARGING OK, BUT I HAVE NO LIGHTS ie DIPPED AND LOW BEAM.
HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE? IS THERE A MOD I CAN DO OR DOES THE STATOR UNIT NEED TO BE SENT BACK??
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED, THANKS. JONBOY

Why not get back to Electrex ?

Green is Earth on Hondas,but Electrex might have their own colour code.

Do the lights run direct from the generator on this?

If not you maybe need to be checking the lighting cuicuit

I'm pretty sure those things have separate circuits for charging and ignition. The lights run off the battery, not the alternator. Start there.
