Hello all,
Ive been away from Honda bikes for a while, apart from a short stint with a 75 XL100, put an 82 XR200R motor in it, (sold it to make room for a DR350) but this past weekend I picked up an 83 CT110. Apart from mirrors and the auxiliary fuel tank, all the parts are there. I wanted a cheap to insure (Under 111cc) bike for my 60km round trip commute.
Anyways, after getting it running, I noticed all of the bulbs were burnt out/not working. With the headlight switch in any position, I don't have any power at the headlight. At the battery and tail light socket, Im getting 11 volts at warm idle. I did not check what the output was above idle.
Currently going through a wiring diagram to figure out what to test next, but sounds to me like I may have a bad regulator/rectifier?
At this point, having to replace most/all the bulbs, the very old battery, and possibly the regulator/rectifier, could I look into doing a 12v conversion? Seems like the stator wouldn't mind...
Cheers, David
