2k-3 Swap and adding headlight
 

So I am going to swap the 2k-2 I have on my bike (2006 EC250) for a 2k-3 as well as add a headlight. So I thought I would document with pictures, wiring etc in a thread.

Parts List:
2k-3 stator
Regulator/Rectifier Trail Tech Part #7003-RR150
3 position switch w/Kill Switch Trail Tech Part #040-HBS-02
X2 Halogen Head Light Trail Tech Part #36T2-70
Flywheel Puller Motion Pro Part #08-0026
Battery Turn Tech 2.5 Ahr Battery

LED tail light; rear fender seems pretty floppy already. Is a tail light just going to make it a lot worse? How do you mount it? Suggestion on which one?

What am I forgetting in my parts list?

Thanks

Since you are adding a battery i assume you are planning to convert from an AC to DC system?

If you are going trailTech. You might want to look into
getting a whole kit. Something like this.

You get a stator already with the floating ground mod.
for DC output.
I did this mod on my '02 XC300 a couple of years ago.
As for the floppy rear fender. Do you have the sub-frame
loop support under the fender?
Keep us up to date on your progress.

I bought a rewound 2k-3 from widebear in November. So I already have one...if I'm not mistaken I think its already setup for DC, floating ground. But I will have to verify.

I think you are right. I remember that one for sale and was thinking
of picking that one up from him also. If I remember correctly I got
my 2K3 from him a few years ago, but, it did not have the mod
done to it yet.
Are you going to set your's up with turn lights, brake lights,
hi-lo beam etc...?
If so. You have to replace the Leonelli AC flasher with a DC flasher.
I use oned from an auto parts store. I also had to swap the orange
and black wire on the flasher module connector.

You can swim throught here for a couple of more pictures of my EC300

It shows my battery set up and the 2K3 post floating ground mod.

It is the yellow wire with the shrink tubing in the above picture.
I think most of this was covered in the "HOw to go DC" thread.
Good luck with your upgrades.
Jeff, So Cal.

Do you mean part #53?

Pretty sure I don't. I think that would help.
I'm thinking hi-lo, brake light. Only thinking brake light for the rear visibility at night, might be a good idea.

Thanks for the tips. Hope to get into this very soon.

Yes, part # 53. It will make the rear fender much stronger.
You might try posting "WTB" add here and see if anyone has
a spare to sell.
Good luck and lets see some picts when you get done.

Finally making some progress on this...:rolleyes:
Have the stators swapped. Ran it for a few seconds and it seems good. However I read that you can change the timing based on the orientation so I better double check that. Still need to get some stuff to wire everything up and figure out what to do about mounting the battery.

Schematic

I'll put up a better schematic later. Still should find some sort of LED strip I can glue under the fender....

Looks good.That stator was rewound as well, prob could cook your thanksgiving turkey with what it puts out.

Excellent. Keep us updated with your progress.
I wish your 2K3 stator picture was in better focus.
It does not look the same as the one I did.
Your yellow wire looks like it is still soldered to
the terminal at the top. I can't tell if one of the
winding wires have been cut and attached to
the yellow wire. (see my picture for ref)
I wonder if the (floating ground mod) has
been done to this stator? Just curious.
Jeff.
