All 2st WR Headlight assembly

Hello,
This is my first post. I have been reading this forum for some time now and find it very informative. I need your help with my 2009 WR 125 that I bought a few months ago. I’ve put off assembling the light kit due to the overwhelming amount of parts and no instructions. I finally started putting it together the other night and have the lights and display working, but hoped someone would be able to help with the extra wires that I have.

Image 1- I think this is the speedo wire.

Image 2 - Extra wire with a connector that doesn’t match up.

Image 3 - I believe this is a resistor. I only ran the bike for a short while and it got very warm. Is this normal?

I appreciate any help that you can provide.

Thanks
John

Starting around Page 105 I think you'll find a blow-up of the parts you're installing. Anyway, it's a parts manual it should help explain all the pieces.

The speedo wires do not match up. You will need to splice the wires or get some new two wire connectors. The wiring harness has the new type connector and the speedo wire is still an older set. I was told by my dealer that you could order a new speedo wire and it should have the correct connector. On the yellow resistor wire I think it is going to heat up that is how it is designed.

I hope this helps.

Yup, resistors get warm, they are taking all the extra voltage

I would suspect thats a fuse not a resister sure looks like one thats been heat shrinked

Does your bike have a regulator as well as that inline "thing"?

Thanks for your replies.

glangston: you're right the parts catalogue is a very good resource.

cb250txc: my speedo wire doesn't have the correct connection either. I believe it's a molex 150 connector. I think I found a local electronics supply house that can help.

2stroked: yes - it has a regulator.
