Hi All,
Don't have time to get around here much, but thought I'd share an issue I'm having (dealer is looking at it Monday) as it apears weird, and I thought someone maybe able to help me point them in a direction....
A few times (4-5) since I've had the bike (Nov 09) I've noticed the voltmeter read out drop from "normal" (13.9-14.4V) as I'm running. I don't get a warning light, and it has gone down as low as 11 before kicking up again. The time to kick up has taken as long as 45 min. My initial assumption on the basis of no warning light was an indication error only on the meter, but last time this happened (last week) the battery was definitely down, and I only just managed to start the bike (dash went out, had to kep starter pressed to crank, and it was a laboured crank). Getting back home, I dived into the diagnostics, expecting to see an alarm, and there's nothing there... My thoughts are maybe a battery issue (internal connection probs are not unknown with Yuasa) or poss a wiring loom connection issue, although I think this is less likely as I'd expect to see an alarm....
Apart from that I love the NTX to bits...
