You might check under the flywheel to see if there is room to add a small winding. It really doesn't take a lot to generate 6v ac and a simple rectifier to make it dc. even if you could only make low current it would extend the ride time with lights.

There were some ignition upgrades i seen on a Yamaha Enduro site i was reading awhile ago. The bike is actually wired as such that has a lighting coil and can run without the battery. Well at least run the Headlight anyway..the rest of the lights require the engine to be revving a bit to power them.

After reading through some of Spuds threads again recently its got me debating my plans for tires for this bike. It doesnt weigh all that much so it wouldnt shred tires as fast as say an XR so im open to suggestions for good tires that would be good for both pavement and dirt. The trials type tires on it currently arent too bad on pavement but they can get a bit squirrelly on the loose and sandy dirt around here.
