/5 3.5A current draw

Post by x1Buellist »

I received the battery cables from Euro MotoElectrics. Hooked them up. My bike is drawing 3.5A with the key inserted. Is that right?

Thanks. I will put the headlight enclosure back together. It's time to go buy some gas. :D

Far more important to measure the very small draw with all turned off. Should be well below a miliamp unless you have things that run all of the time, such as a clock.
