i need a wiring diagram for my 92 indy trail i cant figure out the wiring ...

the voltage regulator dose not make sence on how it works if one yellow wire comes from the harness and to the voltage regulaor and rums back to the harness how dose it regulate for the head light ? it has one wire that runs in and splits right back in i am so lost



i just wanta run a head light and nothing else .....some one please help or point me in the right direction


thanx snax

It is a very simple system actually. The lighting coil is capable of producing in excess of 50 volts at high RPM.
. The regulator is screwen to the chassis and is designed to bleed the extra voltage to the chassis from that yellow wire. Think of it
this way, every time the voltage climbs over about 15 volts (target volts)
the regulator enables a circuit from the yellow wire to the chassis effectively shorting out the lighting circuit thus preventing the voltage to climb over the target voltage. As soon as the voltage drops below the target voltage level the regulator disables this circuit between chassis and the yellow and the voltage can start to climb again. The regulator should maintain the lighting coil voltage at very near to 15 AC voltsregardless of RPM.

I have a schematic for this sled let me know exactly what you are after and i will try to help

Wow. What I am after is. Everything on this sled has been pretty much ripped off of it. There is no hood( gauges ,tach, oil sensor, and so on, ) I pretty much just want to mount like a car fog light( or driving light) to my handle bars. Oh ya and a kill switch is still conected too. I know that if you hook up a 12v light with out it running throu a volt reg when you start reving the motor high it will pop the bulb. My question is how to wire it?
My wire harness is pretty much yellow and browns wires now. I know the yellows are "hot " when the sled is running and the browns are grounds
I have traced my wires back to the vortage regulator and one wire runs to it but no wires run out of it. There is a brown wire attatched to it but it looks like it's connects to a bolt/nut the hold the volt reg to the pannel. Plus there is a yellow wire on the same bolt that looks like it way cut at one point. I know in a car/truck. That a volt reg has power running in one side and then a wire runs out that has the volts at 12-15 volts. But this volt reg has one wire in and none out so incant figure how to wire it for head lights




Thanx a ton man
