  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Stator rewind output?

I am interested in rewinding my 07 te450 stator. I've heard that theres a way to 'float the ground' to obtain extra output. What can I expect output wise if I get the oem stator rewound say from baja designs or? Or if there was another stator available from another make?

Can I get 150 watts output from my stator? How about an 08 te450 the same?

Thanks Mike

Mike - as a matter of interest, do you know what the stock output is ? I'd love to fit some heated grips to my TE - my hands are the only thing that get really cold this time of year and I'm really not sure if the stock could handle them.
 
OK, i'm always the guy who answers these, and then gets stepped on.

I rewound my '05 TE 510 for that years baja 1000. I had Baja Designs do it. Worked with them many times in the past. Best we could get is 12.2 amps at the battery at idle. Thats enough to run dual HID's-which i did, and not draw down the battery at idle. It was a learning exercise for both them and I. I told others raicing Husky in baja, and they followed. Others did the same in following years, and its worked well. I used the stock regulator without issue. Others dont.
Bottom line is we added around 40 watts overall by adding more copper winds, using about all the room there was on the stators pins.

Next year i needed more power for a rallye Husky i was building. I did my homework. Found that a KTM after market stator from Electrosport bolted right into the Husky, with more pins, could put out far more power. Around 300watts total. So i converted to that system, it was trial and error, and after some faulty regulator, and grounding, issues, i got it to work great. Told others about it, and now there are a few Huskys with that set up.
There are a few little tricks to it, but no big deal.

So then out came the '08 bikes with their fuel pumps, very high pressure fuel pumps i might add, and that called for more power.
So on a hunch i ordered an '08 stator for my '07 510, and it bolted right up. Side by side with the original re-wound baja designs stator from '05 it looks IDENTICAL. I mean you couldnt tell which is which.
It too adds about 35-40 watts vs. an '04-'07 stator.

Now--does it have enough extra juice to run heated grips? IN general these bikes do have a bit of extra juice in their electrical budget.
For sure the bike will run fine with heated grips, you will simply be eating into the bikes time needed to re-charge the battery, or worse you will draw down the battery. If you ride high speed, you will probably be fine, if its 40 miles down hill at idle, you might not be able to start the bike at the bottom of the hill, without kicking. Thats one very easy way to find out. And yes, the bike will start with a drained battery. Or you can ride with jumper cables (i do).

If i were you i give it a shot, but first i would replace everything i could with low draw LED's (break light, flashers, rear running, etc), dont run your highbeams, and you will probably just barely be ok. Depends on lots of stuff, like how much draw on the heated grips (new models have variable heat settings, etc), what rev range you ride at, how often you hit the breaks, etc. etc.
Just conserve as much as you can on the rest of the bikes electronics configuration, and you should be fine IMHO. Worst case you have to kick start your bike and turn off the heated grips, and then get a higher output stator. It wont hurt your battery if its in good shape, and you ride and recharge it. Then get the Electrosport high output stator.

I have heated grips on my 610. Love em. :thumbsup: The 610 does have enough extra juice stock to run the grips.

hope that helps/gives ya options.
 
Thanks for the indepth experience/information. It is very appreciated from me, and I'm sure others as well.

I'm assuming this statement is not a reference to Cafe Husky, if it is let me know.



Thank you for your awesome technical input :thumbsup:

No its not at all!

Over on another site ive gone into some indepth write ups trying to help out, and had guys jump in and just go off.

Notice i didnt say how much power the bikes actually make? Trying to avoid past arguments. Its all good. :D

Your input will always be appreciated here. :cheers:
 
So Mike, great information. IYHO will the stock stator on a TE510 put out enough to also run heated grips? or should I use the same care and conserve everywhere I can?
Thanks for your detailed info. Pete SS
 
i am interested in geting more grunt/charging to my te510 mr kay.. so can you say whats what with the ktm stator or suggest an avenue to go down with this ?
 
The baja 1000 starts in 2 days, he Mike may be busy at the moment - in case you were expecting quick input.
