High Output Stator? - Ducati.ms

DosHypers · Sep 5th, 2011, 1:11 pm

I did some searching on here and on google and couldn't find anything about a high output stator. I'm running a radar detector, ipod charger and mixer so i can hear both through my helmet speakers. I also have an air horn mounted on the bike. Sometimes when I have everything running and I need to use the horn (which seems to happen way too often) the bike seems to cut out for a second while the horn is in use. I'm thinking maybe it because it needs more juice or something. Anyone have the same issue? or any feedback on my thinking it could use a beefier stator? Thanks in advance

Your stator output is fine for the electrical loads you describe. The auxiliary horn takes about 60 watts so it's best to wire its power and ground connection directly to the battery terminals, not to somewhere else on the bike.

Awesome! I have the horn grounded to the case. Gotta run a longer wire back to the battery this week. Thanks so much for that, that didn't even cross my mind
