Stoutman Posted October 1, 2008 #26 Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) Lone Eagle, I had the signal dynamics voltmeter on my RSTD until Eureka Springs when it went south. It had operated within spec, giving me a green light with the running lights on. Then at Eureka Springs it started going out. I thought at first it was my charging system, but when I got home that checked out. I hooked up a good digital voltmeter and it said I had 13.6 volts at 2000 RPM and 13.8 volts at 3000 RPM. all the while the Signal dynamics meter told me I was at 10 volts or less. A few days later the Signal Dynamics meter quit altogether. I checked the connections on the Signal Dynamics meter and they checked out OK. I just took the meter off the bike. I was looking at the Kisan Charge guard as a replacement. Maybe for Christmas. I like that freeze warning (like it ever freezes in Texas). Edited October 1, 2008 by Stoutman

You mean I did all that work for nothing???:rotfl: Actually, im finding the Signal Dynamics LED light a bit too touchy for my tastes. I like the way the Kisan works, especially the number readout. That Kisan sure is pricey, though.....
Lone Eagle Posted October 1, 2008 #28 Posted October 1, 2008 Wow, thanks guys - this will definitely be a project here coming up in a couple of months with some things to consider. Appreciate the feedback.
