Anyone know what the current draw on a stock (not hi compression) DS1000 is/should be? Or the gauge size of the feed wire to the starter motor?
Bike's at home and I want to pick up some wire to re-route the feed wire on the way home...
Thanks
My Ducati's draw 50-100 amps starting, my 3-4 cylinder sportbikes the same range.
with brand new Yuasa YT batteries the minimum cranking voltage drops to maybe~11 volts
ducati's with weak battery sometimes just do series of 'clunk, clunk clunk' sounds without cranking the motor -(because The cranking voltage is dropping below the minimum necessary to operate the ECU/starter relay, etc) -so the relay drops out, voltage rises and activates the starter momentarily, then drops out again.-repeating the 'clunk, clunk clunk' symptom-that I see around the internet especially ducati's -It's a bad battery.
FWIW my bikes w LITHIUM batts read almost 1 volt higher than conventional batts after stabilizing- ( they still drop to the typical 10-11 volts while starting-and they're ruined if they drop below 9 volts) anyway, the usual voltages used for determining the battery's state/ charge seem to be about one volt higher with lithium batts ...
that's all I know. ( more like that's all I can remember...)
