Subject: [DSN_KLR650] Electrical capacity **Corrected**
Message-ID:
Paul,
Good catch and thanks for sharing the "real" ratings for the later model
KLRs.
I dug out my factory service manuals and found the specs for the A14-A17,
2000, 2001, 2002 & 2003 models at the rear of the supplement manual. It
rates the alternator at 17 amps @ 7,000 rpm @ 14 volts. That puts it at
about 238 watts @ 7,000 rpm @ 14 volts.
The specs at the front of the supplement rate the alternator for A1-A9 at
14 amps @ 8,000 rpm @ 14 volts. That put the earlier alternators at 196
watts @ 8,000 rpm @ 14 volts.
The last specs noted are what I originally looked at and missed the model
application clearly noted at the top of the list.
So... now I'm guessing that the earlier A1-A9s have about 70 plus watts
to spare. The A10-A13s are unknown to me but might be the same as the
later models like you've pointed out according to the FAQs. The later
model A14-A17s probably have a solid 100 plus watts to play with.
Thanks for pointing out the real ratings. : )
Best,
Jeff Saline
