Oldie but a goodie

Oh yeah the motor fired right up and ran perfect, so I was pretty happy.

I bought a 86 xr 600r with a bad top end. Dude ran it low on oil, and the top went out. The guy I got it from gave me a complete new( used ) motor. He said it was outta a xl model and it has a lighting coil in the stator in case i want to put a headlight on it. Now from what im reading the ignition system is an AC system, and the lights will be DC . Am I correct so far? I swapped the 5 wire for the 2 wire just to fire the motor because it plugged right into the xr harness. But like i said a headlight is gonna be kinda nice. Anywho...theres 2 wires ,obviously, required for the bike to run. A smaller green/red tracer that looks like it goes to a gauge sender. That leaves 2 wires . Is this simply a DC + and a DC - thats commin off there? Im kinda a new bike mechanic so try not to gimme too much crap. Another thing is I was gonna use a couple of those micro cree LED lights. Am I gonna run into any prob? Are they vastly different than incadescents? Any input will be appreciated, unless its criticizing my punctuation, spelling ,or grammar. I know its terrible, gimme a break!

I pretty much know the answer but Im gonna ask anyways. I bought this bike for my son and I to go thru and him to get familiar and start riding. Hes 15. It ran OK before we got into it ,so it didnt really seem to need alot. I pretty much re ringed it and Josh did a buncha paint. Well from what Ive found this was a two year production mdel and can be kinda a bear finding parts. . Sunday getting to the point, the guy gets in a hurry, grabs the manual and impressivly puts it togrther in a few hours while im at work, I was still lookin for a cam chain guide, and he just left it out. Is that really gonna kill me? I mean if he gets 40/50 hours before it fails then lesson learned. I just dont want something to go wrong after a few hours. Im goin outta town and I know hes just gonna ride the thing as soon as I turn thecorner and am outta site! Thanks
