So I was extremely bored... and surfing the Buell site, and found this odd bit of information.

The Firebolt charging system puts out quite a bit more power than that of any other Buell. Including the Uly!

I would've thought the Uly should have the most, since it is common to have heated grips, aux. lights, and other add ons.
Could the projector lights need more power?

Firebolt:
38-amp, permanent magnet, single-phase alternator with solid-state regulator (481W @3000 rpm, 494W peak)

Lightnings and Uly:
30-amp, permanent magnet, single-phase alternator with solid-state regulator (405W @3000 rpm, 405W peak)

That is odd, is it a typo? I'm sure that the 2 models share the same parts.

They do share the same parts engine wise to my understanding. Well, with the exception on the XB9 XB12 differences.

The XB9s shows the same 30 amp output as all the other XB's other than the firebolt.

Then I'm sure it's a typo.

You sure you got the right Firebolt? I know with the Uly, the 06/07's have the 38 amp system while the 08 has the 30.

Yup, all 08's.

Must just be a typo.
