I do have a meter and have tested bikes successfully in the past only I wanted to order a Cyclops before I get the chance to test it.
Looks as if I may have to wait till then.
Thankyou.

Speak English instead of dribble Tiffy you keyboard Tuffy!
Youtube? Now I should have (or would you only understand 'ave' better? Cockney?) known. Fancy thinking you'd find the answer on a Husaberg forum? Duh huh?
Regards.

Geez Toffy that's southern US! Double Duh to ya!
Both is aussies in AC/dc. So u pick either!

Thanks Palle,
I eventually got time to test it. I was interested to know prior to being able to get the chance to test it so I could order a Cyclops LED early.
It came up DC.

Some motorcycles did use AC voltage to the headlight in the earlier years with the system having a rectifier but the headlight ran AC. KTM did this as well a ton of Jap bikes and I am sure many others, Most cases if the bike has a battery it usually is DC but some strange engineers did run the headlight direct from the stator. So the question was quite valid So it is always good to check, remember the days when running the old two strokes and as RPM increased so did the headlight AC system.

Hi
On my FE 2002, the original wiring is AC to the lights, the light circuit, it only goes to the regulator so you don't have that big change of light with RPM.
The SEM stator has 2 single phase circuits, they used one to the lights and other to the battery and starter on DC obviously.
Sure you can easily change all that and make it the way you like it better.
Anyway, here you have one example of a bike using AC to lights.

All fuel injected Husabergs, KTMS, Huskys are DC. All of them. Before that they were split with AC at the lights and only enough DC to charge the battery. When I say before that I mean 2004-2008, because they had the exact same stator as the KTMs of that time period.

Same stator but that has no relevance as the stator produces AC and so do all the new fuely bikes AC. It all relates to and if the engineer decided to have them built enough to handle to current draw. So they would power the headlight with ac direct from the stator and rectify the ac to dc for the charging system. They now have better batterys and more control with the electronics to supply enough to hold the whole system In DC. Having a battery also was a factor as allot did not have the battery and the magneto supplied the ac. So even with the 2006 stator the headlight was dc voltage. It was rectified and the ktm system did a ****** job of that in the charging dept. use the high beam all day and signals ect and the battery was dead,

Yes, absolutely correct. I was simply referring to the available final output.
