Re: Add On digital voltmeter
Found my problem...after installing the VVME HID lights, I now find myself holding in the ignition then turning the key to start the bike. After I starting paying more attention to my issue, I noticed two things happened at the same time (occasionally) when I released the ignition button - the voltmeter would shut off, and my fuel gauge would start flashing (even if the tank was full). The fuel gauge issue has been happening for some time, and I found myself replacing the upper fuel level sensor thinking it was that. I saw other posts relating to the thermistor as well, so I just thought that was the source of the issue.
Well, it turns out my issues were caused by a dying battery. The OEM battery was still in the bike, and while it would start ok, doing a load test I found the voltage dropped to 7.5v on start-up, causing issues with my fuel gauge and this little voltmeter. So, I replaced the battery over the weekend and all is good again. No issues with the voltmeter or the fuel gauge.
