    Really helpful videos! I have an xr400 and I'm wondering how do I know which amperage rectifier I need? I'm estimating about 60-80 watts of leds I wanna run and I'm gonna use a capacitor of 35v 1000uf and had a rectifier saved in my cart with 50a and 1000v rating, is that too much? Will this combo work?

    Hi, this is a great video! Thank you for posting. So, converting DC to AC power is the same as connecting LED lights directly to the battery? I've had all kinds of problems with my bike's lights ever since I 'upgraded' to LEDs. I thought upgrading the shape from 8-pole to 11-pole; just caused more problems. I'm thinking of just moving the lights off the main harness direct to the battery. What do you think? I'm grateful for any advice from you or anyone else on here. Thank you.

      Seems like youre the only one that didnt understand it, so I'll gladly explain what i meant, but it seems like youre just here to argue..
      The stator ourput is ac, but not all of that is converted to dc, you can mod the stator to do so, this way you have more dc available to charge the battery, run a fan and led lights.
