Howdy
Just got home and after I shut the bike off to chat to himself from next door, it was dead to the world.
This was tracked down to be a loose negative battery post and on that note, the black/yellow wire which I presume goes to pretty much everything up front was hanging by a thread.
I crimped a new ring terminal thereon and tightened it all back up, then ran the bike.
There is about 15.2-15.6V at the battery terminals at 4k, mainly settling to 15.2V.
Granted, this is not the world's best multimeter (DVM), bless its little cotton socks and it certainly doesn't stack up to the fleet of calibrated Flukes at work.
Is such voltage cause for concern? From idle to 4k, there is little fluctuation. But methinks that's a little high all the same.
