Full Version: Lighting Capacity On A Stock Stator

Does anybody know or care to speculate the maximum total effective wattage I can use for front headlighting without having to go with a heavy duty stator on a banshee? How about a TRX250R.

Thanks,

I believe you can only run 2 halogens on a stock banshee. Maybe 70 watts total?
Rudebob
I was thinking the stock lights were 35 watts each. I was asking because I would like upgrade to a set I picked up that are 50 watts each but don't want to have to upgrade the stator.
faster dad!!!
they can only reliably handel 60-70watts max if you run 35w. bulbs they may look like candles at low rpm's. To run that big of a light you need to upgrade the stator.

i asked about this before i upgraded my stator. you can safely run 4 35watt bulbs. but like drnh3 said at idol they wil be really low and will take alow more reving to brighten them.

i paid about $400 for my stator and lazor star style lights on my handle bars. i run 4 lights with no problem. i run 2 50watt ont he bars and 2 35 watt in the stock locations. its freakin bright as hell. i always have to lead the night rides.

So are you saying I can replace my two stock 35 watt headlights with two 50 watt lights without upgrading the stator?

As I recall, the stockers are like 15w...

from what im told yes you can but dont go by my asnwer alone. call up ricky stator and ask him. he is more than willing to answer any stator questions.

Same goes for the stock trx250r stator

I think two 35W is all you are going to get stock. You will burn up your stator with anything more.

I have two 85W floods in the stock locations, and two 35W pencil beams on the bar clamp. I went with a 260W stator.

Remember, you gotta run your ignition too, so give yourself some room to run.

Stock Banshee is 75 watts.

Stock 250R is 85 watts.
