I don't mind it so much but as OCD as I am I get really frustrated when things do not work perfectly. Not sure why it is not working at this point other then the LED flasher unit is not working correctly.
Even though amps is what you need to make things work usually the volts will drop off with a load when pulling power and are easier to measure.
This is holding at 12.9 (from 13.25) with my lithium battery when things are turned on. Lights are all bright and do not dim, which would be another clue.
If I turn on the signals first and let them run for a few seconds they will stay on when I hit the lights but not the other way. Sounds like low power but a voltage check at the flasher unit shows 12.9 v also.
Probably will put a charge in the batt and try again. Irritating.

Installed 4 of these (ktm 530, 525, 300, and a KDX 220) complete harness nothing plugs into the wiring of the bike. and they make a kit that comes with a rechargeable battery that lasts tons of hours running the tail light signals and horn.. There every bit as good as the baja designs ones i've seen, LED tail light ect.

Brute:
Not to mention the $500 lighting stator...  :-o  It will all be good.

I never realized how "little" time that bike appears to have...I like it!

Well, I think it is done. Thought it was done this morning but while cleaning up saw a wire with a 'thing' on the end and realized I had not put the speedometer pickup on it. after making a bracket, running the wire and glueing in a magnet I 'think' it is done again.  :-)
Will fire it off tomorrow. Checked for spark while the plug was out and it has spark. Kick stand 'may' be short enough but a strong breeze might blow it over. Have to park on a hill or put the stand in a depression for safety. Or just cut the thing down.  :|
I will call the place about inspecting it for a plate today and see what they need.
Took long enough!
