Headlight loop

[Shaneh]

I just ordered an SH775 r/r and while reading some posts about installation, people are bypassing the headlight loop? I do t have my schematic to look at and was wondering the reason it's done ? Thanks probably a stupid question

Again, all pretty thoroughly covered in the “my charging system” thread in my signature.

Ok, sorry I'm new to this and I don't even know where this "my charging system thread" is? What's your signature?

Thanks, I just looked at the link and ill try to go to settings , I'm horrible with apps and computer stuff and I just wanted an explanation for bypassing that loop ? I've been to Franklin Institute in Boston and been a mechanic for many years so it got me wondering the reason for it

Got it, I would have never figured that out

I don't know that anyone has figured why the loop is there other that in other foreign markets where they left the headlamp on/off switch operable, in our market they left the wiring loop there but blocked the switch to keep the headlamp on. It creates a useless long loop for one of the three stator legs to build harmful resistance/heat. Taking the loop out of the system and running all 3 staror legs directly to the R/R is the way to go.

Yeah that make sense, I was just wondering about. Thanks again, glad I found the forum lots of good info!

I'm so bad at this stuff I couldn't even figure out how to post a question for a while , hahaha!
