The two-stokes bikes usually don't have a battery. They employ a kick starter, and use an AC lighting coil on the stator to illuminate the headlight. Therefore, the engine must be running, and the flywheel turning, before the lighting coil generates AC electricity for the headlight.
What model year is your TW200? It must have a lighting coil. If so, you will convert your TW200 to a pure DC system if you install the Zongshen stator. The Zongshen system will generate more power to charge your battery, and will give you a nice, steady headlight at all rpms.
However, you will probably need to install a larger regulator/rectifier. I suggest you get the unit employed by my Zongshen 200GY-2. You will also need to connect your headlight to a keyed power line which is connected to the battery.
