kukasan lighting output

sparks · Nov 7, 2006

Hi all,

Is there any call for extra lighting power on the Kukasan ignition 2004 2007 and how good is it in general? I had an e-mail in today from a guy in Finland asking if the lighting output could be increased. I could probably get about 150 watts out of a rewound one but this would require a new regulator rectified.
Does anyone know what they put out as standard.

Manual says 150w is stock

My 04 Owners Manual lists 12V 150 watts for all models but the FC.

Here is the wiring schematic.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for that, it seems as though they are running AC to power the lights, by reconnecting the windings and an uprated reg rec it would be more efficant to run the lighting on 12VDC. I'll let you know how I get on.

Would that enhance battery charging?

Hi Husbutt,

Yeah certainly will, but the original windings will need modification, basically all the charge goes to the battery and the lighting is tapped from the battery, I've done this for other systems and it proves to be good, I can't understand why they are not like this from the factory. I'll have to obtain a complete stator and flywheel and do some mathematical figures but it wont be a problem to work it out.

The KTM guys have been floating the ground for several years to get 100% DC power. The entire procedure, step-by-step with color pictures, is available from Trailtech's website, with all the other info you are requesting regarding stator output.

It is a simple operation to do this.

Hi Johnf3,

Then promote this web site to all, I was not aware of this company, there could be a few people interested in this modification.

I'm not in the promotion business, just passing some info along. Trailtech is a well-established aftermarket MC company here in the states. Anyway Trailtech's website is www.trailtech.net. They post some great info on what the stock stator can power and what it can power after the DC mod.

Hope that helps.

Edit: I can't the automatic link to work, but if I type it in my browser it brings uo the site just fine?

Hi sparks
I am assuming that your Finnish friend is after lighting power for night enduros
these are some test results
O.E. yellow wire 90W white wire 25W
rewound trailtech stator w/floated ground and trailtech reg. 150W but this is not how
much you can use
with a continuous use of 130W and some starts with starter the batt last 2-2.5 hours
since the stator only puts out ~105W at above idle, in a enduro type riding max use
would realisticly ~115W
it is the same stator that ktm uses on their 400 -525 rfs
moose and electrex makes a stator that puts out 270W
the claimed output of 150W is bogus however sem claimed output of 140W is correct
so long VIKING

Hi Viking,

Many thanks for your input regarding the lighting output power, I am having a system sent over of which I will be using my winding spec so we will see how close the figures you quoted come to mine, I like a bit of a challenge. But at the end of the day if you havn't got enough steel you will not be able to produce the magnetic flux required for the desired power.
