Stator and heated grip combo

[Jimb]

I ordered a trailtec 70 watt stator for 450sxf, and ame grips. grips say they take 45 watts to run. Will the 70 watt stator put out enough juice with bike running to not draw down my battery? Ie I don't know how much the bike needs on it's own to run and charge the batt?

I believe there was some discussion under the Cyclops AME grip thread about this bike. Try and find it. If not call Daryl at Cyclops. He is super helpful !

I installed a trail tech stator and flywheel on the same bike last year. the supplied flywheel is 8oz heaver and kill's the top end power I mean kill's it! I removed it after the first ride. So now I just use it in the summer. It was a bummer because they are expensive.

im scared to put my trail tech stator and flywheel on. Does it really kill the top end? Anyone else having this problem?

I read somewhere that the SXF needs around 28 watts to run everything and charge the battery. The Cyclops light bars pull very low watts and you can run them no problem. The grips are gonna be close. Don't they make a 100w stator variant?

Flywheel weight? Yea... screw that idea. You want that snappy rev.

Stator does not include a flywheel.

The AME grips go full power when they are first turned on to get up to temperature - after that they use only the power required to maintain the selected heat setting, of which there are 6. The 70 watt rating of the stator should be above what the bike requires, so actual output may be more than the 70 watts. The best person to answer the rating question is Trailtech, or whomever you purchased it from. X2 on Darryl - he knows his product line well. I would think it will because that is the main reason the stators were built - the stock stator has enough power to run the bike and one accessory (like a cyclops penetrator 625 or heated grips). In my experience and depending on when you ride most people don't run the grips and the headlight together and most only run the headlight in low visibility, on trails or coming out of the woods as it is getting dark. Obv. If you are a night rider you'll want to be able to run both.

From what I remember the 70 watt AC stator will produce 70% of the wattage when rectified to DC power. So that works out to 49 watts running DC which at 12v to 13v DC gives you just under 4 amps to work with. You need to calculate the current draw of the grips. If they are 45 watts that's pretty much 4 amps give or take not leaving much power for anything else. Is that stator rated at idle? I have the Trail Tech full DC conversion on my KTM. The LED light bars draw way less than a Halogen but they still take power. A 10 watt basic LED will pull nearly an amp. Its all about the current available not so much the watts.

mine comes with stator and flywheel

One option for the headlight is to use a night light for a bicycle. I use a 1500 lumen handle bar light and a 1000 lumen helmet mounted light. They come with their own rechargeable battery ( so there is no current draw on your stator) and last several hours. I use mine for mountain biking in the summer and snow bike in the winter on my XCF 450. The bicycle lights are incredibly bright.
