Thanks for that RPM info Moldmaker. 5000 seemed ridiculous to be trying to keep RPMS that high all the time while riding in slow traffic.

I have a happy conclusion to my ordeal. I charged the battery with Battery Tender but first I measured the voltage, It was 10V. After charging for several hours the voltage was at 13V at which point I took it off BT to go for a short ride. The bike started up np.

I was trying to figure how anyone could even keep the bikes all the time at 5000 RPM or more . There is no way. Went home and the charge was still about 13V.

P.S. Before the ride I replaced my headlight with and I added a headlight modulator from KRISS on the high beam.

So now I am wondering how much wattage to the rear turn signals use.

How much wattage more do my HID headlights and my rear turn signals use (since are always on to use them as running lightsl.
