Is the stator output for the 2013 published somewhere?
I haven't found it, and my contacts into Cypress seem to be dragging their feet about getting this info... probably because they don't have it yet. That's speculation.
I am hoping they upped the alternator output at *least* enough to cover the new electrical loads. I can't imagine that the new fly-by-wire throttle system is going to consume all that much electrical power... and I don't really know how much power the new cruise control system will consume.
But these systems will consume *some* power, that's clear enough. So if Yamaha did nothing with the existing 590-watt oil-cooled alternator, this means that the Gen III bike will have a net
loss of available power to run your electrical goodies, over the Gen II bikes. :huh:
Which, again, makes me think (erm, hope) that they upped the output a little bit. Thing is... I am hard-pressed to think they are going to get a noteworthy increase in electrical output without some configuration trickery, or a significant alternator redesign.
We should know before too long.....
