            headlight wattage 
             
           
             Im currently running 55w H7 bulbs in the bike, and 55w H3's in my givi spots. Can the ten z handle 100w H7's - in terms of alternator charge supply? At peak, with the spots on, I would be drawing 100w on the headlight and 55w x2 for the spots. So maxing at 205w (if I have got it right). 
              
            
            
            What can the bike charging system handle? Greetings from Joburg, South Africa.  |

 TBH - running 100W in the headlight and 2x 55W spots is going to be too much for the alternator to keep up with, that's 15A (@~14V). Have a read of this thread, it explains pretty much all you need to know about the XTZ's charging capacity.  |

            subsequent to this, I have discovered an 85w H7 option- I might go for this, and see if I can get a 35 w h3 for my givi spots.  |
