ty 250 wireing?

[gaz_hay]

Hi, want to know is there any way of finding if my ty has the wiring for a front light? There are 2 wires taped up under by the carb and wondering what these are for any ideas?

AS i plan to fit a light to the front, so wondering how to go about it.

Thanks, for replies

You have several options. How many wires are coming out of the gromet at the top of the left side case? Should be one going to the secondary coil (to provide spark), probably one going to the kill switch and if you have two more - one for the headlight and one for the taillight. Put a VOM (Volt/Om Meter) on the wires while the bike is running and see what the output is.

If the bike isn't running yet remove the left side case and look inside the flywheel slots to see if it is fitted with a lighting coil. There will be two coils inside the flywheel - one to the front of the bike one toward the rear. The front one provides spark and the rear, if fitted, provides power for the lights. You may have to pull the flywheel to make sure the lighting coil is wired up correctly. It would have come from the factory with both coils but many riders remove the lighting coil to save weight and avoid complication.

Now you have to pull the side cover off and see if you have a lighting coil installed. If you do then you need to see if the wires are connected.

Good luck.
