Attaching FR Light and RR Light, Odometer. Light Switch

Diggy · 10-22-2014, 09:19 PM

If I went out and bought for my bike
"Odometer" --> (shows speed/RPMS/Lights ON/Gears)
FR Light (any Brand)
RR Light (any Brand)
Light Switch

Will it work for any wiring setup for any brand names out there?
Do I need to stick with the same kind of brand that made the bike?
Is there anything else I need to add to the bike to get these items to work properly?

Thanks for the info please help.

You can make virtually any headlight and taillight work, depending on how much fab work you wanna get into. Start by searching for generic terms on eBay, like "dirt bike headlight" and "dirt bike tail light", and show us what you like / can afford.

I recommend that you buy the switch that Spud recommended to you.

The speedometer will be another matter. Most of them are inaccurate, so a good alternative is a cheap bicycle speedometer. eBay is a good source for that as well.

Yes Ill do some more searching, I will take another look at the light switch Spud mentioned. I don't really care how fast I go because I'm still learning. I would rather see what the RPMS when idle and shifting gears etc, plus the main thing is showing what gear I am in and what gears I shift too. Is there a thing out there that will show me this? Do I really need it? does it cost a lot of money? My manual says gear sensors but is that a easy thing to setup. My new jet (A and B) will be coming in soon, I have the carb already and getting excited to install it. I will keep you posted as well when I do it ill take a lot of pics for other people to see the process of it.

Thanks again guys for all the info.

Does your engine have two sets of wires coming out of the left engine case? One of these is for the gear sensor.

Diggy · 11-27-2014, 07:36 PM

I'll take a picture soon and show you, the wires are white and green. So your saying these wires are to hook up for the sensor for the gears? I did buy a small little odometer, it came with a wire that I will need to hook up to the front tire area to show me my speed. I'm not to sure if I will need anything else.
