Blew my headlight and instrument lights

Post by gman75 »

Ok, I finally got my spree running. (using the kickstart only, I dont have a battery or voltage regulator)

I noticed only the headlights and instruments lights worked without the battery. However after riding the spree for awhile, it seems I burnt out those lights. Now only the high beam works. Am I not supposed to run the spree without a battery? Does a battery "absorb" the extra voltage coming from the alternator?
