Fired it up for the first time this year. Runs great, but, I really need a larger battery.
Any suggestions. |

Meaning you were using a performance CDI?

Thanks for sharing that. I have a performance CDI on my quad, and that might be why it's so hard to start. Once it's warm it's ok, but getting to that point is a nuisance.

warm or cold it's hard to start because the starter has to fight against combustion taking place before TDC.

I checked the charging voltage and it was too low with the OEM headlight on but perfect with the headlight off. I swapped out the OEM headlight with a 5 COB Led and now the charging voltage is perfect with the headlight on and off.

In the lighting color spectrum, they are in the 5000k to 6000k light range. Mine are spot on for 5000k. Which is pure white - which is that "tad more" bit of bluish color. My only complain is the throw of the light, but it wasn't much better with the H4 style halogen bulb either, which means it's mainly the housing design. Luckily, it's hard to out drive the headlight with these bikes.
