i now its been asked dozens of times, but i ive just been on monkeybikeuk web site and it has a honda dax 6volt to 12volt wiring kit £15.00? does that mean you just bolt your c90 12volt in and wire it put and jobs a good one?????????? as anybody used it?? dont want change full loom if i can help it, regards lee

Hi Lee, I have left mine 6V but changed it to electronic ignition and it works great, The lights are still dim but I did venture out in the dark and was quite suprised to see that they did light up the road surface better than I expected.

Dom.

Thanks dom but what i was going to do is put c90 engine init and then buy this 6v to 12v lead change all my bulb and put 12 volt battery on it. And change coil as my st70 engine is in a very bad way as anybody else done this????

Lee,
I didn't take a look at the wiring loom on Monkeybike.co.uk, but I assume you'll need these extra parts:
- CDI
- 12v regulator
- 12v bulbs
- 12v battery
- 12v horn
- 12v coil is recommended
- (12v winker relay)
Make sure you got a NT C90 engine (12v) as the Old type C90 (6v) engines (also called 'fat harry engine') won't fit in a Dax frame.

Thanks waynus im on the hunt for a c90 now ! Have a happy newyear waynus and i think i speak for everyone on site, thanks for all your help over the years

regards lee

I posting this as it may help 6 volt owners.

I am currently restoring/refurbishing a 1978 Dax 6 volt and have installed a WPB Stomp 125cc engine and exhaust. The engine is 12 volt with a two coil stator plate (one for lights and one for ignition/cdi). My old loom is in good condition and I found a conversion here http://dratv.stores.yahoo.net/12vrerepikea.html.

I decided to keep the bike 6 volt and purchased the pigtail and 6v regulator, having installed it as per the diagrams on the website, all is working fine and in fact the lights are much brighter, no blown bulbs so far! The main benefit I found is that you don't need a 12 volt battery so more room under the seat for the cdi. Also, I wired in a new 6 pin plug to the engine ( see Ebay) so that I could easily swop back to the original engine if I wanted to. Ignition switch all works fine.

By the way, the Stomp engine fits well and I have used the standard Stomp exhaust with it, had to fit a db killer though to quieten it down! Currently 17/35 tooth sprockets but I am experimenting.

You'd probably want something like a 32 as a rear sprocket to get the best benefit torque-wise.
Or 16/31 if you want it to pull harder.

Hi has any one got a wiring diagram of Honda dax 70 with light switch by the head light think it’s a 1974
