Anybody know how much of an extra load we can put on the SV650?

I've an '07 and started using a heated jacket (77 watts) on it. Want to install a set of heated grip wraps, which will put another 41 watts of load.

TIA!

I'm looking for the answer to this same question. Any luck finding an answer? I wanna run the 77w Gerbings full jacket liner and some 36 watt heated grips.

anybody know how to calculate the capacity or maybe test it on a motorcycle?

Wire a volt meter in and monitor it as you're riding.

Heat Trollers for the grips and (especially) the vest will help reduce the draw at less than full power settings.

I don't recall what the max additional power on hand is but I know the SV will power the gerbings 77w jacket.
