• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Trailtech x2

My larger or lower light quit working, any ideas as to why? Could it be just a bad bulb cause everything worked great then only the lower lamp quit. I checked and I get power but the light isn't working....:excuseme:

Does anyone know if a 09 SM 510 stator will power the X2 HID without any modifications?

Thanks!

Not 100% sure but think they will. The SM's have strong stators. You need a good 90-100 watts DC to light the HID element.
 
I have run an HID X2 on my TE-510 for a season now. The light has worked great without any mod's. Although, i did not have the bulbs hooked up simultaniously..just one or the other. I have a question about this too. Im trading my TE in for an 09 wr300. wondering if i will need to upgrade the wr's stator to run the same light???
 
I've got a similar question to that above. From reading previous Q's I see this stator will power the HID X2 no problem (which is what I plan on buying), but was wondering if it will run a tail light/ blinkers as well or will that go over the available juice? I guess it all depends on the type/size of additional accessories, but I was thinking 150W would be a safe number to have to avoid killing the battery. Does that sound like overkill? And do you/trailtech offer an uprated version that even provides that much power? Thanks.

My buddy runs one on a 07 WR250, both bulbs, no problem.
 
I have the halogen X2 on my wr300 running both bulbs works perfect.I have the HID X2 on my 08 Smr 510 and it is great as well. The HID won't work on the wr , unless you convert from ac to dc. On my SMR it runs the blinkers and tail light just fine, the HID lights just need a lot of juice to fire off then I think they use around 70 watts.
 
I was disappointed to find the light shipped to me was a universal model that requires cutting and splicing. There is a husqvarna specific x2 that comes with a factory plug to match our bikes and is available on the trailtech website. I assumed that was the light motosportz was selling but I was wrong. It was not specified on the motosportz website so I guess I should have asked before buying. I had to choose between cutting the wires on the bike side of the plug(which there was not much to work with, or cut the factory plug out of the factory light(I ended up doing this). It would have been a quicker install with a factory plug on the x2. It also would have been nice to have the option to switch back quickly when I decide to sell the bike, but now that will require more cutting and splicing.

Also I'd recommend skipping the x2 husqvarna decal IMHO. The graphics look pretty dated in person. I just left them in the box and went with the plain white plastic. Could have saved another 5 bucks there.

The light itself is better looking than stock and quite a bit brighter. I'm happy for that.

I don't know about the 09's but I have an 08 the TE and SM stators are the same and this is what the book says the stator puts out. It should run the light easily as long as the wiring supports the wattage you are trying to run. Also I don't know how much of this output is AC and how much is DC. I would hook up the light, start the bike, put a voltage meter across the battery, turn on the light and watch the voltage, through the RPM range.

The repair manual shows this graph made for stator output. The 08 TE and SMR makes;

168 watts @ 2000 RPM

203 watts @ 4000 RPM

217 watts @ 6000 RPM and a maximum of

224 watts @ 10,000 RPM

It actually reads in amps @ 14 volts and you have to convert it.

It is on page M14 (page 294 of the pdf).

(there is probably a similar graph somewhere in your repair manual)

The 07 WR250 has 120w A/C. I can run a 60w head light and a 35w MR16 on my head and be fine. I also have it set up 50w flood/35w spot on my head switched seperate from the head light. You can control each light if you have the knowhow.
