| I saw the article on installing lights on a XR200R (4Strokes.com Honda Tech: Installing Lights on the Honda XR200R), but it was done on a 2001 XR200R. I have a 96' XR200 and was wondering if they came with lighting coils on the stator in that year, and if I could do the same to my bike. Anybody know anything? |

| I'm pretty sure its identical. I dont think they changed much after 93. I highly doubt Honda would stop putting a lighting coil on the bike after they took the light off then add back the lighting coil later without putting a light on it. |

It's super easy to find out. Just lay your bike down on its side:
Then remove the half-a-dozen or so screws. If you're careful removing the side cover you can easily reuse the gasket:
If you see something similar to the stator above (sets of different looking poles), then you're in business! Note on the pic above that there are two more empty spools for winding a "hotter" lighting circuit. |

| Like the others have said, ya should have one. My '90 has it, I think it only puts out like 60 watts. Enough to add a 35 watt'er so you can get home, &/or let others see you coming through the trees. |

This is really helpfull information. In the winter time it can get dark in the Washington woods real quick.
So I'm giving this a try on a 2000 xr200 but ran into something unexpected right away. Coming from the stator are 3 wires, two of them, one solid pink, one solid yellow, are looped together???? I'm just old enough to ask before I cut. I cant see where they are actually connected to the back of the coils. My guess is that one is hot, the other neutral. Can someone help me out? I'm a bit of a PC goober also, but can probably get one of my kids to help me include a photo if that will help.
Thanks.
Bob.

Yeah,
For this guys setup you need a 12volt rectifier (aka;Regulator/PowerBox).You need the one with 4 wires, the universal ones. They usually have 1red(hot), 1green(ground) & 2yellow(from stator). Those two wires that are looped each connect to the 2 yellow wires, The green is connected to the frame and the red is connected to the light, with th other termanel on the light connected to the frame for a ground.
This worked great for the bike i wired, hope this helps future readers! |

| I have a 2000 xr200 that I am trying to put a headlight on. I got a voltage reg and it has 4 wires, 2 yellow 1 red and 1 black, I hooked the 2 yellow wires up to wires coming from stator 1 yellow and 1 pink. the red wire I hooked to headlight and the black to frame. when I crank the bike light burns very dim and when I rev engine the light gets dimmer as the rpms pick up till it goes out. I have tried switching the yellow wire and hooking the black to the headlight with the same results |
