Headlight fuse - What all is running on it? 2009

passive101 · July 25th, 2013, 11:43 AM

The headlight fuse is 10A. Is it only the front headlights that are running on that fuse or is there anything else that runs on it? I'm going to be pushing it close to it's max with the headlights.

My idea is to run 1 65W bulb as the low beam and use a regular 55W as the high beam.

55W = 4.6A
65W = 5.4A

Are my calculations correct?

Check out the wiring diagram in the tech section!

buy a Phillips motovision bulb, don't put a higher wattage bulb in. and definitely do not drop a his kit in it.

When in doubt, pull the fuse and see what doesn't work. If it's like the pregen, I'm pretty sure only the headlights are run through the fuse labeled as headlights

so far it seems to have no problems running 1 65W light in the system. I don't know about long term yet, but so far there are no problems with only 10 extra watts. I'll report back if I have any issues in a few weeks or months on it. If not, it's something for people to certainly consider to brighten up the main headlight on these bikes.
