that's most DRZ's lives... just ask trip.

but mine hasn't given me any issues thus far... I re wired from the rectifier to the battery with larger gauge wire (12g rather than 8g) and threw in an HID headlight(35w vs 55/65w) also swapped in a LED tail light (3w vs 10w). and even when running my heated grip wraps on the way up to Omaha (22w) no issues... oh had my GPS hardwired running the whole time...

I wish I had a gauge or something to tell me how many watts I'm using at any given moment. I think the stock Stator is like 180 or 200... but the bike itself(lights included) uses all but like 20w...
