Is there a Light bulb upgrade for an '08 FE 650?

BOSS · Nov 11, 2009

Great thread here,did not now pmxtec existsed very cool.

However your 08 back to 04 has 110 watt ac lighting circuit & you can without
any mods put an x2 halogen trailtech light on,also gives a nice light pattern for night
vision.03 to 01 bergs have two 70 watt ac circuit's that can give you 130 with the addition of an extra regulator.

Hey Rick, if 01 to 03 Bergs have SEM stator and have two 70 watt circuits, what's the differnce in the SEM on the 00's and earlier ? Same question to Sparks if he reads this.
Later

Check this thead out on SM Junkie about HID kits, I dont think they talk about having to rewind anything.

Cheap kits off of eBay.

HID requires DC power, no way around it. A stock stator that has been converted to full DC and run through a regulator would power one stock 35W HID easily without rewinding. The 2009 and 2010 Husabergs already output DC power to the lights, but the 2008-down do not (at least those with Kokusan stators, back to 2004).

So what you are saying is that you could get one of the kits from that ebay guy in china, and run HID without rewinding the stator because the kit comes with a Regulator?

No. Forget about the rewinding part for just a minute. The stock stator has AC output to the lights and DC output to the battery. I assume this is to keep the circuits separate so the the battery charging is unaffected by whatever lights you are using.

HID systems will not operate on AC power. So, the stator must be modified (often called floating the ground) and used with a bigger regulator/rectifier to output 100% DC power. There is a complete PDF file with color pictures from TrailTech on how to do this on their website. Once this is done, you can run a modestly powered HID set up. This has nothing to do with rewinding.

Rewinding a stator is the process where the poles of the stator are rewound with usually a thicker gauge of copper wire (and more of it, if possible). If you are planning on racing Baja and need twin 8 inch HIDs, you will need a stator rewind. A rewind is also nice if you run a fan kit or other electrical accesories that eat up battery charging power.

Here's a cool link to explain more.

Ron if there are two yellow wires then you have 70 watts on each of them, use a
regulator for each yellow wire.

So I guess the 2005 KTM 625 has full DC then?
