This ^^ with a view to reducing the charge 'load' on the battery in the case of missing/bad regulator? No requirement to have permanent lights on UK bikes but I guess it's not a bad thing.jabcb wrote:
For both the T500 & T250/GT250, I wire the lighting coil to be active all of the time. This bypasses the handlebar switch.
For the T250/GT250, see the 3rd wiring diagram here: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=6786&p=121472&hili ... or#p121472

You should only do this if you are using a modern rectifier/regulator.daxman wrote:This ^^ with a view to reducing the charge 'load' on the battery in the case of missing/bad regulator? No requirement to have permanent lights on UK bikes but I guess it's not a bad thing.jabcb wrote:

Re: GT250A wiring Qs
If you need a regulator still, just buy a new one from Robinsons, part number 32500-18420, and only £16!

Or led running lights like the ones on my GT550 and GT750.jabcb wrote: You should only do this if you are using a modern rectifier/regulator.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Re: GT250A wiring Qs
..after 18 montsh I just got around to fitting a rec/reg - a four wire job from motorcyclepartsstore.co.uk - a tenner.
Seems to work OK 13v rising to 15v with throttle. I was getting the impression that reliable starting/running was dependent on a charged battery and mine wasn't charging well I thought. Fingers crossed this helps. Needs tidying up obvs - didn't take out the old one yet in case it didn't work...

Re: GT250A wiring Qs
Progress indeed. A few cable ties will make all the difference to tidyness, then get out on it while there's some summer left!

Re: GT250A wiring Qs
Hi Alan
Been using quite a bit lately - about 300 miles so far this summer. Just back from a jaunt and it pulled 80mph on the clock on a Dual Carriageway.
- pretty fair I think since I never rebuilt/resealed the crank even, and it had been stood for over 15 years...
Cheers
