I just wish Honda would import the NX650 or the Transalp. I really
like the Transalp.

The ignition system on the KLR650 has its own winding on the stator and draws no power from the charging system. This allows the KLR to be bump started with a dead battery or even with a completely inoperative charging system. The alternator on a KLR is a magnetic rotor turning inside a coil of wire(stator). This type of charging system has no way of varying the amount of power the stator delivers to the charging system. The stator is putting out as much power as it can full time. So the rectifier/voltage regulator controlls the voltage by shunting any excess power to ground. So, no you will not burn up the alternator. The alternator is running full tilt anyway. But if you draw more power from the electrical system than the charging system can provide than you will be discharging the battery. Jim Lexington, Ky> > > Thanks, > Keith W.
