What would DoG do?
Questions? We don't need no stinkin' questions. Just test results.

If it works as advertised, we may need pricing for 75, 100, etc.
fingers are crossed.....

WC,
Thanks for volunteering to do the testing. If it's as advertised, I'm in.

Yep, seems to me that things are in good hands.Questions? We don't need no stinkin' questions. Just test results.
Speaking of owing someone a beer . . . ! For all the testing and GB goodness he contributes to the motorcycling community, I don't see any way that it'd be justified to find WC buying himself anything to drink at the Hilton. :clap:
That is, IF anyone has any spare change left over after all the GB farkling expenditures.

I have a dual-sport kit from Electrosport, on my WR426. Purchased 2 years ago, haven't had any problems except one that I F-up. Shorted pos. to ground and fried circuit board. They replaced it free of charge, good company.
They also rewired my stator, for dual output one side to lights other to ignition.
I'm in if testing proves true.

$116-ish would be dirt cheap for the benefit, if it turns out to be as real as claimed. Then you guys just have to post a monkey-see monkey-do telling me how to swap it...

Should be piece of cake. Stator resides in left crank cover, impact several phillips screws out, throw as far as arm allows. Remove oe stator, set aside for rainy day. Clean cover and gasket mounting area spotless. Install new stator using nice new stainless socket head screws, route wire, attach gasket using very light coat Yamabond 3 or O2 safe silicone or Weatherstrip adhesive, torque screws to value. Should be in and out in 30-45 minutes.

At the price I'd be willing to buy it outright. Loving sparking things as I do. I'm in!

If the test results are positive, me too!

Well like alot of other people here, if it works, I'll give it a go.

Fabone e-mailed me the graph of OEM stator (Row 19) vs. the Electrosport stator (Row 20) and said it was OK to post here.
And if I remember right watts equal amps x volts. What I'm not sure about is what voltage you use. 12.6 of a steady state battery, 14.2 of a Datel reading I regularly see with low beams on, or something else.
Regardless of the method I would seem the 3600 rpm graph point is the most interesting to me. It most closely aligns with those long nights that you want to fireup your HID flamethrowers while you're on that deer-infested mountain pass in Eastern Oregon. You get this quaint notion that it would be nice to also fire up your Widders to stave off the cold. According to chart 31 ams for OEM vs. 38 for the ESG130.
The 22% increase would be BUTTER!!

Gotta love the scale on that graph... :blink:
In any event, can the voltage regulator handle the extra current? The regulator takes the voltage generated at a lower current and caps it to a lower voltage (~14.2V) and permits higher current. It also likely contains the rectifier.
We should probably know what the limits on the regulator are. Won't do anybody a lick of good if it is overpowered on those lonely nights. Running off the battery alone won't get you far...

I discussed this very subject with ElectroSport during our telephone conversation today.
There is indeed a limit to what the FJR overall electrical system (wire harness, R/R, and other electrical components) can handle without putting undo stress on them, and that figure is approximately 520-ish watts (+/-). The first iteration of the stator that ElectroSport made put out a bit more than this amount, and they had to step it down a little in a subsequent design. To run at higher rates would eventually put the electrical system in jeapordy... obviously, not a good thing.
I am definitely looking forward to installing this puppy... toward that end, I dashed out to Sunnyside late this afternoon to score an item that might soon be in short supply, should this ElectroSport stator pass all my testing:

Incidently.... for those of you familar with the Honda ST1100 series....
If the ElectroSport stator performs as advertise, it will roughly approximate the electrical system of the later generation ST1100 (the '96-'02 models).
I used to run a '97 ST1100 for many, many miles in all types of Endurance Rallies in the late '90s and up through 2001. I used to run twin 85-watt PIAA 910s, and a full set of Widder gear (vest and leg chaps), and never, ever saw my trusty old VDO analog voltmeter drop below 13.5v as long as my engine speed was reasonable (~3000 RPM and higher).

Count me in also if all this shakes out, sound great! No more flippin switches would be a good thing! B)
