DR 650 charging issue
Nomadmax:
If you don't mind me asking Bill; What kind of spare electrical capacity do you have now on the DR?
brider:
According to procycle an extra 50 watts over stock. From their website.
A new high output stator for the DR650. 25% more output than the stock unit. Approximately 50 additional watts. Now you can have enough power to run those driving lights and/or heated riding gear.
50 watts might not sound like much but the stock lighting, ignition and battery charging consumes about 140 watts. This only leaves a maximum 60 watts available for additional accessories.

[...I usually pick mine up at Sporty's on Dixie Drive....]
Wasn't Sporty's in Fairborn at one time? I'd heard they went out of business but nothing beyond that. Are they a dealership again or just an accessory store?

I think the stock DR650 makes closer to 300 watts output. FWIW I routinely run a Tourmaster electric vest and Dual-Star grip heaters. I have a voltmeter installed too and at anything over 2k rpm the charging voltage stays well above 13VDC.

You're right. It has changed hands and locations a couple of times. They sell used bikes (all brands) and have a service department. I can't vouch for them, I only use them to buy dealer only parts. I have a nice service department in my garage and I know the mechanic is honest;)

That's the current location and website.
