Member Contributer Dutchy Posted May 13, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 13, 2013 How much electical watts does a 4th gen's altenator/RR produce? How much is used to operate the bike (engine, lights etc)? Thus how much spare watts are there for farkles? Anyone?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyRedRC46 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 At idle, relatively little. Cruising down the highway, probably more than you'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted May 13, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 13, 2013 Rough round numbers are 500W total output. 270W are used during normal operation (includes low beams). 200W spare at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmythecop Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 on my 5th gen with tightwad's set up, I get zero variation with heated vest, heated grips and gps on. (I realize that is volts, not watts, but it all works great) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
