Thanks, I will attempt to include some of those optimizations over the winter once the bike is off the road and can again be disassembled. I planned on having someone help me with jetting anyway, hopefully I can also get him to help with the other stuff. I am already using nothing but LEDs on this bike, but I think the stator needs to be rewound, since it doesn't charge all that well. if I can supplement it with either thermocouples, or solar cells, I might go with a lighter winding for reduced load. If I remember correctly, the stator on a bike is always running at full capacity since it is a permanent magnet generator. I ordered a cheap peltier on ebay to play around with, it cost $6, we'll see how well it works, and go from there.
