Kawasaki kmx125 lights go dim when revving engine. work fine on i

Hi ive got a 99 kawasaki kmx 125, ive got this problem when i rev the engine all the lights go dim or dont work, when engine is at idle they all work fine.
Ive checked the generator output which seems fine, but when i checked voltage at battery end the voltage also drops when i rev the engine.
Please can any one help

    IVE CHECKED THE OUTPUT AT THE DYNO/ GENERATOR END VOLTAGE FINE ON ALL THREE OF THE YELLOW OUTPUT CABLES AND INCREASES WITH THE REVS, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE BEYOND THIS POINT.

I had the same issue, and it after lots of testing and measuring, found out it was only that 'earth' wire that you have at the bottom left part of the engine, coming out from the left engine cover. You will find it easily, it's a standalone wire, mine had its sleeve too dry, might have been why it was not well connected. It also had a mix of sand and oil in it, so no wonder the lights would dim out. The wire plugs into some sort of a screw, you really can't miss it :) Even the old, worn sounding Yuasa battery got back to perfect function, only added distilled water to it and let it run fro some time. Cheers:)

    my solution: change rectifier/reguletor module

    strange solution heineken_99, because earth connection, is used only for spark plug, temperature measurement and other minor things, but not used for lights or battery charge!

My voltage regulator (kmx 125) gets hot when engine starts, there might be something wrong with it...thanks

I think it's supposed to get hot, given its metal and has fins to dispurse heat, so as long as the batteries charging and the lights don't dim it's fine. You could check the charge with a volt meter, while the engines running I don't remember the exact voltage it should be at idle and under load but I think it's 12v idle and upto 13v under load, but check the manual for the exact voltages. If it out of specs it needs replacing.

Kawasaki motorcycle kmx 125, light dim when rev up

It sounds like there is a problem with the voltage regulator. Check the regulator by substitution.
Hope that fixes it for you.

Kmx125 02 cuts out at 6000rpm

Hi, I'd try undoing the drain plug in the bottom of the carby and turning the fuel on for a few secs to flush the bowl out, may just be a little water or dirt in there. Also, check your air filter's as it should be, and check if fuel comes out the fuel line from the tank at the correct rate, may be a blocked fuel filter or tap, hope this helps :)
