I like electric gear.   Swampy Posted on Tuesday, November 07, 2006 - 08:31 pm:        What does Mugwump mean to you? LOL! And let me be the first to welcome you to the Badweb! For all things Buell!

I believe it is derived from independent Republicans, way back in the day, who wouldn't follow the party line.   Swampy Posted on Tuesday, November 07, 2006 - 08:52 pm:        LOL, Independent Baptists who didn't follow the party line! Somebody more knowledgeable than me about watts will post soon. (Message edited by swampy on November 07, 2006)   Paochow Posted on Tuesday, November 07, 2006 - 10:14 pm:        Total wattage according to the Cycle World review is 494 watts. I would stay below 80% of that. I'm not sure what everything else on the bike uses though, aside from the headlights @ 55watts each.   Krassh Posted on Tuesday, November 07, 2006 - 11:41 pm:        Here is a breakdown of the Electric. As far as the the two 12v outlets it says 120w combined or individual.

Anyone know what the cooling fan uses?   Chinook Posted on Wednesday, November 08, 2006 - 03:43 pm:        quick question for the electrically challenged (that's me) the front dash is stamped 12v / 120 watts outlet. i am currently running the following hard wired off that outlet... symtec grips 36w (max pull on High) radar detector 5w max (guessing) gps 5 w max (per specs) ---------------- total 46w at max 46/120 = 38% of max available. FYI, also running off the battery tender seat plug w/o issues.... widder vest 35w (max pull on high - size 42vest) i did up the fuse from 7.5amp to 10amp per Widder's recomendation adding the wattages up --- am i correct or clueless?

I run aux. lights at 55w each, high beam/low together and heated grips. with all of those on at the same time, the bike is still charging 13.1 volts at idle and runs up to 13.9-14.1 volts at 3K rpm's.   Gamdh Posted on Wednesday, November 08, 2006 - 07:37 pm:        I've been using this to estimate excess capacity. Some of the numbers were pulled from the manual and some were pulled from the powerlet web site. Was always curious how accurate it was. Components Watts Headlights 55 License Plate lamp 5 Brake/Tail Light 3.36 Instrument Panel 6.37 Computer 25 Fuel Pump 72 Cooling Fan 72 Electronic Ignition 50 Common Operating Load 288.73 Alternator @3000 rpm 481w max 494w Excess capacity min 192.27w max 205.27w   Mugwump Posted on Thursday, November 09, 2006 - 05:12 am:        Thanks for the info!   Paochow Posted on Thursday, November 09, 2006 - 09:17 am:        Thanks for the info! Wow, I'm surprised how much the fan, fuel pump and ignition draw. Guess I can justify the purchase of a HID light to save some watts   Gamdh Posted on Thursday, November 09, 2006 - 09:53 am:        Its been a while since I created that spreadsheet but if I remember correctly.. fan, fuel pump and ignition ... were pulled off the powerlet site which means they are really estimates. In theory they should give you a good idea of what you have left to use.
