My big manual states my system is to be charging 13.5-15.5V. My Kuryakin(sp?) voltage meter shows 1 green light which looks to be 12V if you count the colored lights. It is solidly lit most of the time and the 13V light is often flashing furiously while cruising, or when easing off the throttle, and the 14V light has never lit up. This meter is wired about as far from the battery as possible at an auxiliary power source under the left fairing pocket. Tony told me the further you wire these things from the battery the lower they can read. I really think the old battery was just at the end of the service life, after all I did have to refill it with water. I guess I should get one of those cheap meters and test at the battery. Lastly, the PO told me the Alt was rebuilt with new brushes not too long ago.
Any ideas folks?
