you sell this yet?

I'm sold blue... Thanks for the insight. Glad the guys on this site are bad ass at explaining things!!!!

Thanks for the clarification... I'm still very new with these terms. First xs. So obviously if I'm having issues keeping the bike running on the battery and charging system, the pma is a reliable alternative? My bike only seems to run on a full battery or on a charger....

Cool. Very intetested in a tried and true starting method. I'm in limbo over this pma option with a minimalist battery... Or the pamco ignition. What style reg/rec do I need to keep an eye out for this pma swap?

ok... the bike stalls out without the neg wire attached... cant get readings unless the charger is on battery.

will do, thanks!:thumbsup:

bad battery??? reg/rect not hooked up right???
