Wow! You’re getting pretty tricky!
Reduce energy required for engine cranking. Save 4 or 5 amps that the rotor draws and it also should make engine easier to turn.
Jim
It would be interesting to know the difference in amp draw and cranking speed between the rotor being energized and not being energized.
Is the juice worth the squeeze.Data Jim - I wanna see data
Well, I guess that will depend on the data and the individual who chooses to use it. A SPDT relay is tried and proven. You can't throw a cat inside a modern car without hittin' one. On the KISS scale, it's a pretty simple, reliable device.Is the juice worth the squeeze.
By that I mean you're adding components and complexity to the bike. Remember KISS.
TrueOn the KISS scale, it's a pretty simple, reliable device.
A cruise control is an "unnecessary device." But given the choice, I'd rather have one regardless of the complexity.
We'll see what the data shows as far as the usefulness of this mod, but at the end of the day... it's my bike. I get to decide what overly complex means
I've never used one.What is the best throttle lock to use on these XS650's?
