Lights on the Z

[jleggz]

hi there, i havent got any lights on my triz but would like to get hold of some originals, i can source them but would need some help with the understanding of wiring them up, other than being without lights the Z is completely standard

what im after is info on how i can connect the lights, battery and switchgear up together, will the battery charge while the engine is running,

winters on its way in the UK and it will soon be dark at 4pm which makes riding after work a bit difficult, fun but difficult , as ive found with friends,

many thanks

Its not a very good Picture but might give you an Idea...If no one Copies one out of the manual today I will dig mine out of the Trailer and Post it for you

Also,,,There is no Battery

wow, amazing little site there, but i couldnt see anything about the wiring or how to do it, great no battery, id presume most of the wiring is still there but i will need switchgear, ive got some cables taped up with duct tape so im hoping thats the part of the loom i need,

many thanks

You couldnt see anything????



Ok,,,,Let me know if this helps.....

[jleggz]

sorry, my fault, i must have gone straight passed it, im pretty sure my lighting side of the loom is taped up, i cant check untill tomorrow as the Tri Z is at work, but my switchgear doesnt look to good, is all switchgear universal ?, a friend has some off a GPZ i could have if so

Check out the electrical section of www.dirtbikestore.com - they have universal switches and the like.

On the 3WW homepage,there is a link to the right hand side that says SPECIFICATIONS.Click that and then go to wiring diagrams.There is a color coded wiring diagram for the TRI-Z.Yellow and green are hot and black is your ground.Make sure you have your voltage regulator hooked up.It is on the right side of the bike just behind the forks.There should be a silver box with one blue wire coming out.If it is not there,you will blow your bulbs out.Banshee,and blaster use the same style regulator.

thanks mosh, yeah the regulator is there, thanks for the link, will now check it out, i just need some lights, ive got the casing but no lights in there, hopefully some will come up or il get some universal lights

many thanks

james, you need lights from a 200 kawi bayou 220 four wheeler, they are the same as the z, mount the same, and use the same plugs, plus they cost less new

older warrior with the square lites are too!

[Mosh]

hey jleggz.if you run into a hard time gettin lenses and such,drop me a p.m. i can probably help you out.and Raffa is correct,any older warrior with stock square headlites,will work.electrical sockets bulbs and lenses will all "bolt right up".i think they came on 87-89 warriors.maybe even 1990 years also.

87 warrior light assm. $27.07 new
86 tri z light assm. $68.71 new
the only diffrence is the warrior has a 25W bulb,, but the z's 30w bulbs will fit.

89 kaw bayou 220 assm. $138.57 new
bulb plug is diffrent and harness plug so it would have to be hard wired
The lense is the same shape but will need the plug.

[twgranger]

I use new 2002 220 bayou lights on my Z and they bolted right in. They were half the price of new Z lights.

[Bryan Raffa]

what did you do for the plug for the harness?
2002 $36.51 thats still better than stock
wonder why the 89 is so mutch it looks the same...
