Checking Resistances / Battery issues

[grog]

Barmy, not sure. The batt certainly does more than just start it. Having just replaced my batt notice idle speed slightly faster, coincidence??

[KiwiCol]

Could well be higher Grog.  If your battery was on the way out, the alternator would be working harder to keep it where it should be, now there's a new battery, the alternator doesn't have the same load on it, hence idle could be up a few rpm.    Whaddya reckon?

I agree about alternator. Used to run 13.6- 13.7 old batt, now 13.8-13.9v. So charge rate slightly altered also.

[KiwiCol]

That slight charging rate increase is probably due the the few extra rpm?     Wouldn't ya say?

[grog]

Col, thats reading overall, riding.

[KiwiCol]

That's right, I remember now, you've got a volt meter on your bars.

Certainly gives the generator an easier life. May it live long and prosper

Old bkes and charging problems. This is what I put on temporarily to make sure all is OK while riding.
