ok, did some more testing, with the dim lights on doing my test, I got the engine to rev up to 13V, but that was at a high RPM Gauge and the engine idling at 12.6V with the brights on it idles at 12.3V and I could only rev it to 12.6V. However after some more 'playing' with it, I put the bike in first gear, and moved it back and forth in place (in and out of neutral using the clutch) and while in gear and running I put the kickstand down (remember reading a thread that the side stand should shut the engine off if it is put down while the the engine is in gear and running) and the engine continued to run! is it possible I have short in my sidestand and that is causing my other problems? Thanks!!
