stock stator + (2 * 55w halogens) - (2 * 30w stock lights) = magic smoke?

[86atc250r]

Anyone tried running a pair of 55w halogens off the stock stator minus the stock headlights?

The manual says the stock system develops 147 watts @ 5k/rpm

The tail light uses 5w - the headlights would be using 110w (vs 60w stock). I just don't remember how much it takes to run the coil & overhead for battery charging.

is your 250r electric start?

Sorry, I should have been more clear - this is for my 400EX

Someone gonna answer the guys question? :D Tomorrow I'm going to get an el-cheapo wal mart special set of halogen lights and mount them to my 300ex. Cross my fingers!

Well it looks like we need to shut exriders down if Gabe is asking questions and not answering them..somethin's not right here,,Gabe musta hit his head at work today.:D

I don't have the answer gabe but maybe get ahold of ricky stator and see what he says,,I'm sure he'll know the answer.

Hey Gabe,


just the 2 lights alone, is drawing 9.2 amps.



I'm gonna guess to charge the battery, its around 4 amps.

Lights ... 9.2 amps
Overhead ... 4 amps

Thats 13.2 amps right there.

I don't think the coil is much? 1 amp maybe, if that.

Ok with all that said I calculate that drawing 158 Watts.

You said alternator is putting out 147 @ 5k.

Looks like it won't work.:(


Sorry about the fuzzy discription, I was figuring it out while typing.
(ps. if i'm wrong :rolleyes: wont be the first time, its just what I figured out, maybe someone did it and it worked)

Oh ya And i didn't calculate the rear tail light. .erm add 5 watts :eek:

If you find out that all other overhead is only 2 amps, then it wil work. Maybe it is:huh
