I am adding some LED driving lights to my C650GT and am also looking at heated clothing. I don't want to stress the electrical system on the scooter, so does anyone know the common operating load of the C650GT?
I know the alternator is rated at 588 watts / 43 amps (according to the owners manual). My question is how much of that is used to operate the scooter under normal circumstances ('common operating load') so I will know how much I have to play with.
The LEDs I have bought are 20 watts total, and a generic heated jacket liner (80 watts), pants (45 watts), and gloves (30 watts) would come out to 175 watts total (all numbers approximate).
If I know the 'col' I could figure out how much is left for the beer cooler saddlebags, the top case convection/microwave oven, and the front fairing entertainment system...
