LED LIGHTS - NO BATTERY?
By: 4-tracker Date: February 5, 2016, 6:50 am
---------------------------------------------------------
87 lt500r. installed pair led's 18w ea. Was told by rep. dealer,
should be ok to run these by bypassing stock headlight.
Recommended to pull plug boot from stock lamp and wire both
Led's into boot plug. Started quad after dark and turned on
lights from handlebar switch. Only one side of the boot worked.
not sure if lo or high beam side. They light up real bright!
much more brilliant than the stock's low, hazy, yellowing
headlight. The manufacture rating on the quad 55/60w. QUESTION 2
leds @ 36w. Would it be safe to add one or two more led's
without doing any damage to the electrical system? Or possibly
both stock lamp w/ 2 led's?
Great reviews on the led's @ $18 pr. plus free shipping, 4 day
delivery from usa. Made real solid w/ heavy non corrosive
hardware! (also stated in many positive reviews)
Once I'm more sure of the insulation I'll re-wire directly to
harness eliminating the shortcut I'm presently tapped into. Any
advice would be much appreciated! Thanks Steve

when you add another 2 lights, more likely they will flicker.

Would adding the 2 led's w/ stock headlight draw too much,
causing flickering?

stock lighting coils wont be enough. You can replace the stock
ones with the 140w Ricky stator coils.

yes it would draw too much with stock headlight and 2 leds.

Thanks for the stator info! I bought one on Ebay just now for
$52 new w/ free shipping 130w. for lt500r. Will that extra
wattage help with quicker starting? I measured my spark using
spark tester w/ well over 8mm. Zilla specks. I actually read it
at 11 mm in length. measured from plug wire to frame. Been hard
starting while following every tip in the book w/ little help.

No, the 130watts will have nothing to do with starting. It is
for lights only.
Check your jetting for that.

At least i'll have brighter lighting! lol Thanks for that!
I've cleaned and rejetted this thing with many new parts with
little results.
Question: with the healthy spark I'm getting would that
verify my elect. system is fine since shouldn't that be the end
result? If so I'm narrowing things down closer to the hard
starting situation. thanks for the time here! I'm hoping this
might even help others w/ similar situations!

Wont get brighter lights. The LED will be the same brightness as
before, you just just run more.
As for the spark, not really. It might look strong, but that
doesn't mean it really is strong once inside the engine. You
need to ohm out some of the parts to make sure they are still in
spec.
