if you mean what is the wattage with the flywheel, the flywheel does not add wattage to the stator kit. it only adds flywheel weight.

Sorry I was not clear. Trail Tech states its stator is rated at 100 watts. I am thinking that Trail Tech is referring to total output of one winding. In any case the OEM stator has two windings, the exciter, and the charge. The charge winding feeds the rectifier/regulator in two ways. One lead handles the entire output of the coil the other (the one that feeds the headlight) taps into the charge coil about half way (this according to the diagram at the back of my Clymer, which is just a drawing). We know it is rated about 35 watts.
I am asking; what is the headlight output, (in watts) for the Trail Tech stator. :?:


The purpose of this line of questioning is I do a fair amount of night ridding and I am having trouble with the lights from oncoming traffic overpowering my little 35w lamp (I can’t see my light on the road). I am considering installing the 55w Moose Racing Species Headlight. If I don’t change the stator I will just have an underpowered 55w bulb. If the stator has 100watts to the lights I can run both lights low/high at the same time. That would be nice and safer too.

I got a response to my question from Trail Tech.

"Our SR-8251 stator output for lighting is 90watts. The ignition system has its own windings on the stator which do not pull from the lighting side of the stator. This means that there is 90watts of DC power available for lighting."
