I took the bike out for an "unloaded" run today, i.e. no extra extras, just the heated grips & LED DRL's on. Readings are as follows -
Before Starting (Straight off of the charger) - 13.6v
Riding (>3000 RPM) - 14.3v - no higher.
Idling - 12.6v
Battery Voltage 6 hours after the ride - 13.1v
That all looks OK to me, the Stator appears to be charging, the Rectifier doesn't let the Voltage go over 14.3v & the battery is holding a charge.
I'll be riding to work later on this week with the Heated Jacket on too & will keep any eye on things.
When it was jumped by the AA he pointed out that the Negative terminal connection was loose - obviously so - all connections are good & tight now obviously, I think that this may have been my issue - thoughts? Everything else seems to be OK, so it may be a case of "user-itus" (I'm hoping so anyway).
Cheers,
Damon
