[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 397046, member: 277"] Just to be picky --> from 5,000 rpm and up you have 42 amps available (590 watts), there are a lot less amps available below 5,000 rpm. Your farkles want to consume as much as 13 amps (180 watts). I seriously suggest that you include a volt meter that reads battery voltage. If you actually use all 13 amps, then from idle to ~2,500 rpm you may be over taxing your stator and not charging your battery or possibly even depleting it. This won't kill the stator outright, but it will hasten its demise. I've seen some pretty neat pictures of crispy stator wires from our FJRs. Glad you were able to access your signal relay without a bunch of work! [/QUOTE]
