stator output

[Guest]

Where can I find information on how much amps the stator will output (max?).

I've looked in several service manuals but all they say is voltage.

I have an '83 GR650. I've referenced that the same stator fits a Kawa ZR-7 and info on that bike is 22 amps which gives 308 watts at 14v. Would it be a coorect assumption that it would be the same for the Suzuki?

THanks!

Amps where? Ac or DC . Is ac per leg?


Also you might consider that it is not the stator that limits the current; it is the rotor. At a high enough rpm you saturate the magnets and no more power can be produced.

you basic quest for compatability is largely just mechanical fit.

What I am trying to find out is how many watts/ much power can the charging system produce. I'm considering adding/changing some of the electrical stuff and I'd like to know what the baseline power is.

On a GS or Kawa ZR-7?

The GS has about a 220watt capacity.

Your typical load is 11 amps for lights/ignition and (14 amp-hr battery) 3-4 amps for charging. (14-15 amps total above 3000 rpm).

Apparently you can add more load up to about 18-20 amps if your are at sufficient RPM . At idle you will only generate 11 amps total.

IIRC adding 50-80 watts for a heater once underway is OK.

Thanks. That is what I'm looking for. It'd be nice to get some actual specs, but that is good enough.
As noted in my 1st post, I have a '83 GR650.

Sorry did not know what a gr650 was. Don't know how close that is to most GSs. Check the factory manual for power rating; that is all that is given for the GS, the test of the numbers I quoted ars from measurements of a gs1100.

Sorry, my bad. It has a 2 cylinder engine. It shares most of the electrics as the GS line of similar size and year, and has the same issues. Thanks again for your help.
