Installing a KuryAkyn Battery Meter


Recommended Posts

Thanks to Cougar for the excellent write-up UPDATE How much Power? / Amps?

 

Well As some of you know that I have been

Adding all kinds of Goodies to my RSV this past

couple months.

 

I added the modulite.

 

I added the 240 watt Amp.

 

I added the New Speakers.

 

I added the new LED lights

all over the place.. trailer , bike ect.

 

I added the Sirius Satellite Radio.

 

I added the GPS Unit.

 

Now with all that said, some of you and even myself

wondered how the heck the Charging system would do?

 

Well I got the kuryakyn battery meter today

and hooked that bad boy up..

 

Then I started the bike up and turned ALL of this stuff ON!

And holding the brakes on / radio full power (30)

Even the HIGH BEAMS...

 

these were the results with engine in the Idle mode

Then I Brought up the RPM's to about 5k or so..

then this is what It was reading

I shut the engine off and left all the stuff on for

about 15 Min's and this is what it showed.

Anyways! I feel better now knowing that my Electrical System

Is able to handle all this kewl stuff I added without to much worry.

 

Just thought I would share this Info with ya folks!

 

(oh, that is with the trailer attached to the bike as well)

(the meter also go's into dim mode at night)
