no my bike idles at 12.2 v and 14.2 at 1600 rpm i don't have a problem with my charging system or my battery i was wondering about the idle thing that willem was mentioning but it makes since that it wouldn't do anything to the way the bike runs.

I have also been wondering if i use led lights for my brake light and for my head light and blinker that would decrease the amp draw on the batter will it improve the performance.because morenjuicr is going to the bike more than the lights and stuff Posted via Mobile
