Xs2 electrical system to be redone

[Kevin Kruse]

What ever you do please don't cut up the frame/bobber it, it's a gorgeous bike just how it is!! Just my opinion

Honestly the wiring doesn't look too horrible, could be worse.. I was having electrical issues when I bought my bike but just cleaned all my connectors.

I got my rotor rewound by @Jim and made an updated regulator/rectifier like @Its been a long time said and it's been very reliable.

And yes this is a great forum!

Yes, it's a wonderful bike, but I love minimalist bikes. Let's see...
I'd like to eliminate the safety relay and solenoid and install a small battery to leave as much space under the seat as possible.
The bike starts on the first kick.
I can't easily find a way to do this safely on the forum.

At 1000 rpm, it charges 13.00, at 1500 rpm, 13.8, with no lights, I disconnected everything. Now it's a matter of finding the smallest possible rectifier and voltage regulator. With the original charging system, is a small battery or a lithium one better? Only kick start. Thanks a lot, guys.

Ecco

I am not an expert, but I don't believe the standard automotive regulators are compatible with lithium batteries? To be safe, I'd choose a smaller conventional battery.
