hi i am new here this is my first post here and we just got this 99 blaster last night for the girl friend and noticed the head light did not work so i took out the bulb both were blown hi & lo so before getting a new bulb we put the meter on the wires for the light and there is no power so rung out the light switch and it checks out good anyone know what wires coming out of the motor are the lighting coil and what wires is what it has just the 4 i wish i had a maunal for it but dont anyone one know where there is online manual for these bikes ??? if i know what wires coming out of the motor i will check it to see whats coming out of there and kinda hoping its not the coil yet.
if someone has any pics from a manual they could email me that would be sweet thanks again email mikewilton@rogers.com

just google search blaster manual itll come up and was the bike running when you checked for power

 

[curt514630]

also make sure your dmm is set to dc power not ac power

x2....was it running when you checked for power/

 

[mikesystem01]

Yes and no I was checking the light plug when it was running to see what kinda power it was putting out on ac 200 scale it is running 13.5 till u hit the gas then jumps up to about 25 or so I was trying to find out what wires or wire is the lighting coil so I can ring it out to see if the light coils is good

what we have down there?

BLACK
BLACK/RED STRIPE
YELLOW/RED STRIPE
WHITE/RED STRIPE

?????????

you need to be checking it on DC not AC

 

[royalt67]

^^^Well technically it is AC until it hits the lighting rectifier/voltage regulator, but yeah the best way to test it would be DC volts at the light (while running, there isn't a battery) and work your way back through the harness.

If you get much more than 12-13 volts at the light than I would be looking seriously at the regulator. 25 volts will blow a 12v lamp in a heartbeat.

 

[mikesystem01]

Yea I was checking it on ac at the head light and that's with no load on the system at all Oh and yeah those are the wires colours I have coming out of the stator whice one does what what colour is for what coil ?

 

[stephen12091985]

i put a link of the manual and it tells you what wire is what

Under load shouldn't matter, that's what the voltage regulator is for. The yellow/red is the wire from the lighting coil and feeds up to the light switch. Green and Yellow come out of the switch to the headlight (hi and lo). Blue is for the taillight.

thanks for the manual it works great i am going back out there tonight to do some more checking i kinda thinks its the volt reg thats packed in and its not dumping it to ground will post what i have found out later i checked the coil is 0.14 not to high but should put out

 

[2001monsteryfs]

black/red-white is the pulser coil and black/red-black is the charging coil which is for the lights

It,s definatelly de voltage regulator that´s why it goes much more higher than 14 volts and the cause of having the bulbs blown when you bought it, check the manual that shows how to check it.
