hmmm I wonder if my zener is failing then or on its way out...Been running a Shorai on my Commando for 7-8 years, originally with the Lucas rectifier/Zener and, a few years later, with an Alton E-start/Podtronics. Shorai has been fine with both systems and I am still using the same Shorai battery that I originally installed.
Frankly, I have never had a moto battery on any bike last 3 years let alone twice that...
Thats awesome! I used to live 10 min from black mnt. I almost joined the inoa when I lived in Washington DC. I really should join my local chapter I'm sure they do some good riding out here! Thank you for all the help I'm still fairly new to really getting to know these bikes. But I'm excited to have two different examples of them. My 72 roadster is kinda bare bones and updated. Where as my 1970s is all original. I'm restoring the paint super slowing wet sanding the rattle can someone put on it... Its a painfully slow process but that bike has the original silver tail piece. The original plasic nuts on the halo ring. Original wiring harness. One of the members helped me with original exhaust. I have to do the bike justice. They just ride so well and so much more powerful than any of the other British bike. I really enjoy working on them and riding them. So thank you for all the help!!
Yeah we do! I'm very lucky to be in this area!
How have you connected the SparkBright? The maker recommends a direct connect to the batter terminals and not ot place it on a circuit that gets switched on with ign. This is because the LED is quite sensitive to voltage spikes which will occur on circuits for the ign/lighting etc. There is such little current draw (milliamps) from the LED there's no worry about leaving it always on when the bike is not running...a good battery will be fine for at least a month or two without a trickle charge with this LED on.
I will check tomorrow , thanks for your reply ! though remaining the fact that the Fluke said over 15 volts ..............
