If yours is 1-phase, then I think you should have a permanent magnet alternator. Then you should be able to start without a battery as long as you have a capacitor where the battery would have been.
You may not know this, but when you go batteryless, you must have everything powered off except the ignition. If you have the lights on, they will drain the power before the ignition can spark. Lights act like a short until their filaments heat up. Once the bike starts, you rev it, then switch on the lights while the RPMs are high. This gives the light filaments enough time to time to heat up before the engine stops. Then it should run like normal.
If you accidentally kill the bike while riding, Remember to turn off the lights! It's easy to forget that. Or you can build a relay circuit which will automatically turn the lights off every time the motor stops. You then use a button as a trigger to turn the relay on when the bike is running.
If the regulator/rectifier has a brown wire, that must be permanently connected to the output of the reg/rec. If not, you can burn out the capacitor under certain conditions.
hi loudhxv
yes it should spark with a cap but it wont the system is set up to kick on ignition only with the oil and neutral light horn and brake light on the circuit yet whilst kick starting no spark at the plugs if i connect any battery 12v to where the cap is i have strong blue spark the rotor seems to have good magnetism could the reg / rec be at fault here although it seems to check out ok .
