Let's liven it up in here!

Wards creek practice

It was good time for all. Are you still living on the east side?

I still lurk around here almost daily, but judging by the limited number of views to the posts, I don't think too many people watch the forum anymore. I tried to "revive" this forum last year with no luck. :bang:

I've been getting my YZ250 set up for this weekend's night enduro.

I bought a used Eline generator. I really have a Canadian spec WR250 (I just say YZ because then people don't think it's one of the old smokey WRs that were sold in the US) and since it has an external rotor flywheel it took a fair amount of machining and fettling to get everything buttoned up. I have one of those mill/drill/lathe things. I figured out that last Monday I used my mill, my lathe, my Dremel, my bench grinder and my propane torch. Ugh-Ugh very manly, yes? :aj: .

The generator has two 100w leads. I have one going to the regulator / rectifier and a small sealed 12v battery which powers the headlight. The other stays AC and goes to a helmet light connector with a regulator in parallel. The helmet lights are much brighter than the non-halogen Acerbis headlight so I will try a projector type fog light I have in lieu of the current headlight.

The output at idle is not enough to prevent dimming so I'm glad I have the DC to keep the headlight bright if I cut throttle.

My first test will be at speed. At night. I'm stupid. :yeehaw:

I mostly lurk when I'm on anyways. I only reply if I have something to add to the thread if I don't I just sit back and watch.
