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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TXC 510 and lights?

A Class
I'm picking up a 08 TXC 510 this weekend and I'm new to Husky's.
I'll be racing a night race at the end of the month. My question is, how much DC wattage does this bike provide? I want to run a 35 watt HID and a LED tail light. Any help would be great, Thanks!
 
Good question!

I know the TEs use 35watt headlight and standard lights in the back (21 watts each?).

Not sure it is enough, TE is using a high output generator,

Just check if the part number of stator is the same as in TE 07 model, if yes then OK.
If not, check on Trailtech

(by the way, TXC is a US model is it with e-start?? or just like TC)
 
You might get away with that but an Trailtech X2 (75 watt HID) and a TT stator (100 watts Dc at idle) is the ticket. I would not want to race with anything else. Not sure how much night racing you have done but my findings are the amount of light is proportional to how fast you can go. If your set on running the one 35w I would for sure get a good helmet light to augment it (battery ones work great).

The Trailtech light is great but I have raced at night with this setup that I have now and it works very well so this is what I'm going to stick with. A helmet light would be nice but it really isn't necessary.

Meletis, it is e-start.

Congratulations on the new Bike.
The stock DC output will not be enough to power the 35 watt HID for much more than an 30 minutes. I ran a 26 watt HID set up and lost power after 4.5 hours. I believe that the stock output is around 20-25 watts. In this photo I am using an 8'' Trail Tech Halogen and 2 Trail Tech MR 11 HID's mounted to the bars.

Cool, thanks for the info. Do you know if the ground can be floated and changed to all DC increasing the output like the KTM's?
 
Ok, I went ahead and pulled the stator tonight and floated the ground and added a Trail Tech reg/rec. Low and behold I get 60 watts at 4000 RPM. This will give me plenty of power for my 35w HID and LED tail light for my night race on Thanksgiving weekend. :applause:

The TT reg/rec bolts right up to the stock holes and clears the tank perfectly.

How are you measuring that?
 
I have an auto mechanic friend that has a meter that measured the output. These bikes use the exact same stator as the KTM 2k3k stators. Its a common mod on the orange bikes.
 
Was not doubting you modification at all. I wanted to measure the output of my bike for giggles. Power = current x voltage, thought there might be a standardized test procedure I could do with my DVM.
