I am wondering how much extra Amperage, Wattage, Volts etc... I have coming from my alternator/stator. I know Amps=Watt/Volts. and I have some of the numbers but am having trouble figuring out exactly how much extra juice I have to play with for electrical accessories like GPS and heated gear.

My bike is a 2004 Ninja ZX6R 636 (B2)
The Haynes manual says the alternator output is 42 (minimum)-63.6 Volts @ 4,000 RPM
the regulator puts out 14.2-15.2 Volts @ 5,000 RPM

So I have the Volts but can't find either the Amps or Watts so I can finish out the equation.

Also I am not sure what the draw from the bike itself is (plus I have LED turn signals (front and back), LED brake light and HID headlight bulbs.

Thanks for your guys input.

you manual should also state what your alternator is rated in, in Watts. Then it's just a calculation game, tallying up all of the loads and adding in 10% for good measure (for wiring, connectors and other some such losses). Sorry, not familiar with the 6's..

I have read through the entire electrical section of the Haynes manual....nothing but the info I gave. These manuals are pretty much useless except for learning how to change oil....

So I guess I will try finding the alternator make/model and get in touch with the manufacture and see what info they have.

Stator ZX-6R Ninja Kawasaki 21003-0001

Power Output: 360W @ 3500RPM

Now, start the math!

Awesome! Thank you so much spooph! scoured the internet and could not find that information.

Will post back with the math when I get some free time.

Ok so better late than never. Here's the numbers. I went with an average 300W operating draw, Haynes listed the draw for electrical components like the lights and signals but not the computer, fuel pump, ignition, cooling fan, etc...

360W @ 3,500 RPM
14.2-15.2 V @ 5000 RPM

So 360W - 300W = 60W to play with.

Anyone correct me if I goofed somewhere.

looks good to me.

Wish it had a little more juice to play with... but that's what ya get with a sport bike.

Was looking to try and do some speakers, but with the GPS and heated gear I may just stick with the headphones.

Thanks again for that info spooph
