    1988 XR600r with Baja light kit

    Ok, I'm down to the last bit of wiring to make this beast street legal, but according to the instructions, the stator wires should be pink and yellow... mine are blue and black/red. I don't wanna fry anything, so what's the deal? Did Honda just change the wire colors after a certain year or what? Has anyone else used a street kit on an XR, or know anything about correct stator wire colors?

    black red/ blue are the corect wirte colors for the xr 600's from 84-90 the xl 600 uses a series of wires from the stator of them witch pink and yellow both go to the rectifier / regulator and yellow and white goes to ac regulator, and black and red goes to cdi box. i would assume the light kit has a wirign diagram if its new??

    It's an NOS kit Josh, from the mid-90's. The kit instructions said I should find pink, black/red, and yellow. The kit seems to be for any XR, but they have added instructions for an XR250. I called Baja, and the guy said there should be a white/yellow and a green coming out of the stator, and there isn't. He said I should pull the stator cover to see if it's been rewound... the other question is... is there oil in there? Should I lay the bike on it's right side before attempting this?

    I agree, he seemed to be more familiar with the newer bikes. I did determine that this kit was from the mid 90's, that's why the wire colors didn't match... pre-1990 wiring colors are different from the newer ones. I think I got the wiring worked out, but nothing works, so I have to get a good battery before I start troubleshooting.

    thanks Rick... the problem is, all I have are the black/red and the blue. This kit is made for 1990+ XR's and shows a 3 wire stator
    I need to find a downloadable manual, unfortunately, bikers don't seem to share as good as trikers!

    Ok, how about this....

    I'm in the same process with my 83 XR500, except I'm going to put an XL rt side cover on it for more amps. Maybe some day it'll look like this

    Wow.. love it! I'm not going that "street", but it looks awesome.
    As far as looks go, my absolute favorite is the '86 XL, but I could never find a super nice cheap one
