[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 106690, member: 38"] Can you post a picture of the generator and perhaps the red light (it did not come with a light so that has been fitted as an extra). If you are not familiar with motorcycles and wiring you definitely should join the club, find the local lads and take some advice. A 6V generator (original fitment) wired to put out 12V will work, until you hits some sustained speeds with the bike, then it will cook the armature and fly apart, but it may have had the armature changed to a 12V one. I only had one bike with a JG unit and although I have not heard much good about them, the one I had worked well. There are better constructed systems out there, especially if the bike is inherited and hasn't drained the bank balance just to get it and put it on the road! [/QUOTE]
