<-=- Club Bevel Heaven -=->

Hello everyone.

Im kind of in a hurry so ill introduce myself here, then in the introduction section later.

Im 19 years old and live in Chattanooga TN. My name is Thruxton.

Im more farmiliar with the belt drive Desmo's, but i do love a bevel drive.

I have a 350 scrambler that me and my father have done a little work to.

Im currently in the process of re wiring the bike, it was a mess.

QUESTION. Is it a 6 or 12 volt system? I have some wiring diagrams but i cant find this information. Im sure you guys can help.

I hooked up a 12 volt batt. about a year ago and rode it down the street. I may have fried something in the process.

Thanks for the help

Almost all older bikes were 6v , will the bike start on 6V ?
if so check the voltage reading that will tell you straight away , 12v on a 6v system is a big no no and burnie burnie smells will come quickly and end up in a large repair bill

should be 6v but may have been converted to 12v
quick way to tell-look at regulator & coil for markings & any existing lamps
if nothing is marked you will need to some further testing

good luck

if you cant work it out,send me as much info as you,ve got-eg model,year etc.ill go through my info and hopefully come up with some answers
as your thing looks fairly basic you should be able to wire up just to allow you to ride it
once your basics are in place you can add on quite simply
if you go to ducati meccanica web site and look for 350 single workshop manual youll find an ok wiring diagram-this may or may not help

to ride all u need is spark

cheer steve

How hard would it be to get rid of the battery all together?

I know they sell kits for the yamaha srx 600 that consists of a capaciter or something like that and it lets you get rid of the battery.

All i need is a headlight and tail light, but i dont know if the stator can give enough power for that and the spark.

thanks

YOU CAN wire in a battery eliminator but your probably better off with a battery for general riding

Just as matter of passing interest: the wide cases fittted with the Ducati Elettronica electronic ignition run without a battery.

But you still need a battery for the lights ...
