I just want to check if these charging values are ok.
My original battery (7 years old) died completely but I still rode it home (after getting a jump start) 75 Kilometers. It would only do 2500 RPM and popped, farted and tried to cut out all the way home.
I purchased a new Yuasa (same as original) and put it on my battery tender/minder while I went away for 2 weeks.
Bike starts and runs fine, but I thought I would test things are okay.
Voltage before turning on ignition - 12.88
Voltage with ignition and headlight on before starting - 12.2
Voltage bike idling (approx. 1200 RPM) - 13.8
Voltage around 2000 RPM - 13.65.
The Triumph manual says 14.5 plus or minus .5.
Do you think these values are ok ?
Kind Regards - Ray.
