250F Magneto voltages

Hi
I have a yz250f form 2005 and I'd like to install an hourmeter that requires 5-80V DC. The current required is very small.
Anyone knows what voltages the magneto supply or whether there is a DC voltage I can use ? Otherwise I would need to puncture some cables to measure voltages.

You'll be fine. Just follow the install instructions

The hour meter is not designed for a specific model. Instructions only tell you need to provide a 5 to 80 v dc while engine is running. If there is no dc supply I will have to place a ac/dc converter.

Yes, unless your bike has a headlight. The stator only produces AC.
If your bike doesn't have a charging coil, there won't be anywhere to install a regulator/rectifier to get DC.
I use an 'inductive type' hour meter for my 2 strokes with no power. It has no connections, just wrap an induction wire around the spark plug wire. Sorry I can't be of more help. -BIG DAN:thumb:

Thanks. I also have an in inductive hour meter but although installed correctly it reads less than the real engine running time. Plus you don't know whether it works or not unless you switch to rom mode . Also it has a battery and after fee years when it runs out you lose the information. There is a diagram of electrical circuit which shows 3 coils. I 'll just have find out what voltages they produce.

I have connected the hourmeter to red and white that should correspond to the low voltage coil, but guess what? 1.2v only. I need at least 12.
