I wrote an e-amil to Ricky Stator about this here it is:

Hi

I have a Honda 400ex and I’m adding some extra light to it. I wanted to know how may watts can the stock stator support? And what it the turn around time if I send you my stator?

The Reply:

the stock stator puts out 150 watts
keep in mind you must maintain a charge to the bettery and we give it a buffer of 50 watts to make sure that happens

although the 400ex can be wound for high output it opens a can of worms as far as the rec/reg and wiring problems
we recommend only running 2 x 55 watts when done rewinding
we turn around in about 2-3 days

consider not using the stock lights since they are lame and concentrate on the new lights you are adding

if you keep the motor really reved all the time you may run the 2 x 55 watts or 1 x 100 watts

everyone rides differently with engine RPM

thanks-ricky

There is nothign wrong with the stock lights IMO, i just want so handle bar mounted ones to see where i steer.

I have some Lazer Star lights wired into the stock switch. Low beam runs the stockers and high beam runs the Lazer Star. I think I should have wired them the other way way though:rolleyes:

If u want some great lights using 35watt bulbs? GO and buy some H.I.D lights you can run 2 8inch HID lights on a stock stator.
Check out my picture of the 2 on my ex. Best part I can take them off during the day......
