  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Rated generator-power on a TE 449?

I´ll be running a simple night-enduro event this weekend. So what´s the max powerload for the standard generator? Can´t find it in the workshop manual!?

Don´t want to overload with too much LED-lights, because then I might kill it...
 
Yep, pretty much any bike with EFI is cranking out major wattage....we just did a 24 hour event on a 13 310 and had no problem running an old 80 watt HID. Another guy on our team had a new KTM 350...he ran a big LED off his battery (when he tried to run through the standard headlight harness it blew fuses). Always a good idea to add a battery pack powered helmet light...it follows your eyes and it gives you backup in case the bike light goes out (see fuse comment above)
 
Ok, so approx 10A / 120w is no probs. I installed a new cable direct from the battery and fused it 10A to the extra halogen headlight and the 3000 lumen LED helmet light.
Thank you guys :applause:
 
are the lights run from an ac or dc circuit on the 449/511. was looking at putting an hid headlight on but wasnt sure if it could be cut into the lighting circuit or would have to come direct from battery. was only looking at running a 35w hid as they put out about 60w normal light. not for night events just to use as a get me home at night.
 
It's AC out of the stator, then DC out of the regulator. Standard lamps on the 449 are 35 watts. My advice to you is to run lights from the battery and not from the regulator light circuit. Either may work fine, but it is better to use the battery as a buffer and stress the regulator less. If you wish the lights to come on automatically, a simple transistor in circuit will sense power from the light circuit and automatically turn on your new lights.
 
quick way to find out: unplug the "dc" relay (or the lights, if that does not exist) and regulator. then measure the battery current while idling the bike steady. multiply by the battery voltage to give you watts. which, except for the coil, would be the EFI wattage. unless I missed a component.

I'd guess <4amps (<=50W) on a TC, so maybe a bit more (extra TPS, servomotor, oxygen sensor, others?) for a TE.

The fuel pump is less than a 1/2 amp running in the air, and will eventually blow a 15amp fuse when stalled. I would guess 1.5-3amps nominal. This would be your biggest variant.

these are guesses (well, except the fuel pump at no-load. I measured that) and I could be w-a-a-a-a-a-y off. Why are you interested in the wattage?
 
Thanks for the info, and good point about the fuel pump!

I'd just like to know how many consumers I can add, like additional halogen beams and/or some heated clothing.

And I can't measure it since I don't own one - and I haven't bought one since I'm still trying to figure out if it will suit my needs, or if I should rather go the more conventional way and get an XChallenge (but: "heavy", "boring", ugly etc. ;-)
