Lighting

[polkaudio]

I'm adding an HID and want to know if anyone is running the stock flywheel with an upgraded stator. I talked to Ricky Stator and they said it would dim at idle with this set-up. But if there's a battery I would think that would take care of low RPM situations.

in most cases your light are going to dim at low rpm... your just not getting enough energy off the stator...

with just one HID you should be ok if you want to run 3-4 HID's I would suggest the flywheel it will also make produce full power at lower RPMs

I just wanted to say who cares about the thing making good light at idle???? If your worried about idle then you shouldn't own a Banshee.....run that baby wide open and you'll have all the light you need my man!!!!!

Also trail tech makes a kit to convert your stator to dc power and use it like an alternator to charge the battery for there hid lights.....those light are WAY bright...i put a set of the mr16's on my wifes 400ex.....she rides in the middle of our group and lights all the way to the front.....way bright light

id agree here idle who gives a damn about light at idle you need it when riding not sitting in camp.

i wouldnt try to do the dc conversion, i have hear MANY MANY stories of ppl blowing out a brand new 200 watt ricky stator after about 2 rides, these kits you have to solder wires to pickup and what not.

I just got finished installing Baja Designs new 4" Fuego light and a 250watt Electrosports stator. It's a twin 4" setup mounted to the handle bars. When I get pics I'll show you guys. I've tested the hids and they are extermely bright. Much brighter than trailtechs mr16 hids. I acutally went with twin 100watt bulb halgoens so I wouldn't have to run two seperate batteries and regs. I will be trying them out this weekend to see stator can efficiently run these bulbs.
