Taken at the terminals of the battery with my spangly multimeter :
STARTING VOLTAGES:
Battery off bike: 13.15V
On bike, ignition off: 13.15 ( )
On bike, ignition on: 12.69
In bike, engine Idling: 14.01V
In bike, engine 5k RPM: 13.56V (Ahem? )
THE NUMBERS AFTER THE RIDE: (20 minute ride with 4 starts: outside house, outside house after remembering to unlock the chains, outside house after stalling, at the petrol station - I know these will have affected the voltages somewhat...)...
Battery off bike: 12.92v
In bike, ignition off: 12.93v
In bike, ignition on: 12.53v
In bike, engine idling: 14.10v
In bike, engine at 5k: 13.68v
I was asked to get some voltages by folks on another forum, to determine whether the bike has a charging problem or not. At the minute, it's a completely stock mille, even the brown connector's still there (in very good condition as well, not melted or anything).
