OK, so I’m on the dream quadding trip in West Virginia to ride the famed Hatfield McCoy trails. It’s the holy grail of riding places for those of us up here in New Jersey.

Right before we head out for our second of five riding days, we’re all gassing up and I notice my Kuryakyn volt meter flashing red – 8 volts. Mother F*$&%!…. I’m thinking my stator decided to crap out on at the perfect time. I get to sit around while my budding our riding for the next few days.

After the panic passes, I start to think about it. The voltage drop is supposed to be slow, not immediate. And, everything is working fine. So, our next stop was the auto parts store anyway for a Brute Force that was blowing fuses. They were nice enough (everyone down there is really very nice) to hook up their batter load tester to check my voltage. 13.7 volts was like heaven to me at that point in time. The volage meter was wrong!

So, the moral of the story is that this piece of crap only lasted a few months, during which I went on very few rides. Of course, this could be a one piece fluke, but I thought I’d document my bad experience with it.

I will replace it with the same thing because I really like how noticable it is if it’s not at the proper voltage.
