Subject: [XR650R] Re: Rewound Stators.. Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 17:31:03 -0000 From: "nytraxr" To: XR650R@yahoogroups.com www.xr650r.us I also rewound my stator using that website as a guide, but did it slightly different. Instead of splicing into the stock windings, I kept them as two different circuits. The stock wiring powers a set of heated grips, the new windings powering the headlight. I think the stock windings on the US model (4 poles) puts out about 74 watts. The new windings (6 poles) have more wire on them than the stock ones, so I'm guessing that there's at least 125 watts coming out of there. I used the stock voltage regulator on the new circuit with the headlight and left the other circuit to the grips unregulated. I'm not sure if this is a proper setup, maybe someone with a better electrical knowledge could help me out. As for the light itself, Wal Mart sells rectangular driving lamps (the kind that would mount to a truck bumper) that is almost the exact same size as the stock unit. You'll have to be a little creative mounting them in the number plate.They sell for $16 for two and come powered with H3 55w bulbs. For an extra $2 (in the same isle) you can get a 100 watt H3 bulb for more brightness. I went all out and got a Diamond white bulb from the JC Whitney catalog and this setup works very well. It's bright, looks stock and is cheap. Now if you could fit a H4 bulb in there somehow… --- In XR650R@y..., "ridered650r" wrote: > Has anyone tried to rewind their own stator?
