hello

I need the charging system output for 84 1150 EF wattage.
Anyone?
 
NONE of the literature I have ever seen for the GS-series bikes has ever listed "Wattage" as an output figure. However, I have seen some posters here show it as about 240 Watts, about 3/4 of which is used in normal operation of the bike.

What is the motive for your question? Are you having problems or are you just curious? :-s

Charging system capacity?

Charging system capacity?

This interests me in that I'm considering options to power electric gloves or suit and I'd like to know my options. I don't know wattage consumed by these yet, but Steve, if you say there's only about 1/4 of system capacity left, that could be an issue. I occasionally blow the 10A fuse to the lights when I run my brights for extended time. Makes me wonder about the 'robustness' of the system, although could just be a loose connection heating up.
thanks

Most likely a connection issue creating too much resistance / heat. Dielectric grease goes a long way to eliminating problems like these.

I curently run a electric vest i think it is 35 watts, i was also going to put some extra driving lights. with just 240 watts. I think that would be too much. would a aftermarket stator be higher wattage?

It all depends on how things are wound. Not sure though as I'm one of the few here that have not had stator / RR issues. The first thing that I did when I got the bike running was to tear into the wiring and clean and grease EVERY connection. That and keep it inside, always, work or home.

I know my old bike had no problems ( a 550e) my new bike is from ontario (lots of humidity) and all the connections I have checked, have been corroded. I live in Alberta (very dry and very dry winters) this winter I will be going through all the wiring to clean thigs up as reccomended by everyone here.
