55W HID Kits? Will the stator in my VFR1200F support these?

    I just added 55W HIDs to my CBR1100XX. The high beam blinks at idle. The blinking stops once I'm above idle. So, I figure the stator isn't producing enough juice. (I'm trouble shooting this now.)

    I also have the lights to add to my VFR1200F. Before I go to the trouble of pulling the bike apart and installing these am I asking to much of the stator? Can it handle having two 55W HIDs in operation. Once they are lit they are supposed to draw less current. So, I assumed I was safe using these.

    I would appreciate any opinions.

    Thank you,

    Brent

    I did order these from DDM. (Good service etc...)

    The lights fire up just fine. The high beam blinks slowly at engine idle. Once the revs are up the blinking stops.

    Maybe I'll run this by DDM. They may have an easy solution.

    Thanks!
