i want to add a set of 55 watt lights to my rancher at night, i have heard some rumors that running lights on some rancher has cuased a stator??? to burn out at a cost of 250 bucks, anyone running aux lighting without problems? also anyone know how to change the login password for your account?

 

I added a 55 watt spot light to my rancher with no problems.Mounted it on the plastic behind the speedo makes it a lot easier to see when the light is pointing the same as your where your steering.

i want to run 2 55 watts, prolly under the brush guards

 

Login password....look up top for the button "profile" it takes you to your profile (imagine that!) and you will see "Password:******" and "Verification:*****" change it in both of those spots and hit submit.

I know 3 people with 2 aux lights (55w) on the handlebars of they're 350's, neither of them have had any problems.

 

I HAVE 2 55 WATTS ON THE FRONT OF MY RECON, BUT WHEN RUNNING THEM WITH MY FACTORY LIGHTS TURNED ON AT THE SAME TIME MY BATTERY DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER THE NEXT TIME I GO TO RIDE. THE RANCHER PROBABLY HAS A BIGGER BATTERY AND STATOR, SO YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH IT. A SAFER CHOICE WOULD BE A PAIR OF MOOSE UTILITY LIGHTS WITH A LOWER POWER RATING. YOU WON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE STATOR BURNING UP, THE WORSE THING THAT CAN HAPPEN IS A DEAD BATTERY.

 

i found the specks for the alternator, its .245 kw at 5000rpm

which is 245 watts i believe, the head lights are 30 watts each so 60 watts there, and tail light is 5 watts, no idea on igntion

so thats 65 normal watts with the lights on prolly a bit more, well say 70, add 110 for my 2 lights, is 180 which is below the maxinum, but that wattage is at 5000 rpm, which is screaming, my machine prolly could not charge the battery, cus i don't run anywhere near 5000 rpm, thats a bit disappointing
