Tusk Motorcycle Compact Control Switch Installation Instructions (Enduro lighting kit)

HELP! i have this same wiring harness kit and the bigger output stater installed but i cannot figure how to wire my battery into it so that it charges from the stater, do i go through the regulator\ rectifier this is a ktm sx with lights being added. any help would be appreciated!

@octaneorange - this kit is designed to run off the rechargable battery (included in some kits) or off the bike's existing battery (that is charged from the bikes system). If the bike didn't come with a battery and charging system and you are trying to convert it, I am not certain how to help you. It will most liekly depend on the regulator/rectifier you are using and how much power is feeding the battery. The small tusk battery pack may not be able to take the full power from the rectifier.

I ask this because at 1:43 it is stated that "most bikes don't put out enough power through the battery power source to run the headlight"..

Is everything in this video still applicable if I have a DC conversion (stator, regulator/rectifier) installed?

@Elb0WsInNUMBers - yes. All you are doing is redirecting the power. Most bikes have dual output stators. I wanted to make sure that people are using the output intended for the headlight, not the output that keeps the battery charged. If your bike has a new stator or a modified stator with a single output all converted to DC, you don't need to worry about getting the right lead from the stator. However the switch can still direct the power to the headlight.

@RockyMountainATVMC - Thanks for the help, I appreciate it! I will be purchasing the switch and/or entire kit soon..
