Racing without alternator

After advise, guidance and experience in racing without an alternator - GSXR 1100 H

Looking at removing the alternator for race days, running on battery power and charging in between sessions.

Apart from removing the alternator and using a good sealing blank is there anything else electrically wise that  need to do?

Nothing at all.

Just make sure your battery is big enough.

If you are running a Lithium type battery, you will get no warning it's going flat. The batteries internal circuitry will shut it down before it goes below 10.5 volts to stop it damaging itself.

With a conventional battery it will just get a worse and worse misfire as the voltage drops.
