Slabside not charging

[Nelson]

@Captain ChaosI had, had a look at the charging mod thing in the past & none of our wiring is getting any younger, but I figured nah, feck it, more horse horses / better handling, etc.

No disrespect, just not sexy enough.

However, there's nothing sexy about bump starting a fecking heavy motorcycle, in 32 degree heat, in full gear, on a narrow solid white line system, country lane.

Suzuki say,

So I'm 0.3 above what they 'think'.

The garage is like something from 'Cool-hand Luke, night in the box', see previous sentence about pushing.

So the meter says.

 

Ignition on, bike not running

 

Battery terminal                                               12.7v

Red wire at connector block                          12.7v

Orange wire at connector block                  12.65v

 

 

Ignition & lights on, byke not running

 

Battery terminal                                                12.0v

Red wire at terminal                                         12.0v

Orange wire at terminal block                        11.76v

 

The 14.8v could be cause the wiring loses 0.3v going around the wires, 14.5 plus the 0.3, etc.

I'll do the mod thing & post it up
