How many Amps can I safely pull off of the factory electrical system

[SteveS]

I'm adding some led light to the front and I was wanting know what the safe amount of amps i can pull without hurting anything else. I'd like to go 2 light pods and maybe a 40" slim across roof line, but from my figures that sounds like alot of amps...40" =77 amps the 2 pods = 4 amps

You will have to specify the machine in question. There is a huge difference between the old style Rhinos and the newest machines out there now.
I am quite familiar with those old buzzards and they did not have much at all. There were a lot of mods that were popular: automotive alternators for increased current flow, dual battery setups for increased run time, and many others.

I am the one who should get the blame for that.
I did not even look at the header to this thread which states which section it resides in.
I suppose that comes with the being old and grey, eh?

I have an X4 myself so I should pursue this myself, just to be in the know.
Back before I had the iNet blackout for those 6 weeks.
I had been trying to find a service manual or some such thing, in order to get some clues.
There is a Yamaha published owners manual that hopefully has more that just the precious safety warnings.
And the warning not to take the warning stickers off.... :-)

I will track that down and see if it has any specs on the electrical system.
This is something that you might try as well?

That article does say 230 watts of reserve for powering extra stuff.

Alright. Just what I wanted and needed. Are you willing to share?

Thanks, ahead of time.

For sure, we are always at the mercy of the document writers, eh?
