removing the gas tank and unplugging the factory kill
switch, plugging in the new Trail Tech switch harness
and elimina ng the factory on/off light switch by
plugging in the remaining two wires from the new
Trail Tech harness and installing the new X2 head
light, we were done. All handled within a quick 15
minutes.
The diff erence in ligh ng on our 200XC-W was
immediately apparent. Not only does the X2 provide
a much brighter beam compared to the factory unit,
it also shines a much deeper beam into the woods.
Our next plan of a ack was to fi t our trusty '13
300XC-W with the same X2 halogen light we had
fi ed on the 200 but to power it with Trail Tech's
100 wa , DC stator and do a li le "light to light"
tes ng. Installa on of the 100-wa stator was very
straigh orward. Since our 300 had been set up with
the "Wet Mod" (light oil in the stator cavity to provide
lubrica on to the starter gears and bendix), it was a
great me to do a li le maintenance and check the
condi on of these components. Fortunately,
condi on a er many miles, lots of mud and countless
washings, the stator cavity looked like new. -For New
England riding, we highly recommend the "wet mod" as
it really helps prolong life of the starter components. As
for the actual installa on of the stator, the starter motor
needs to be removed, bendix removed and the stator
