Alehman,my bike does the same thing. Like you said,these bikes dont charge at all until 2,500-3,000 rpms. If I putt around in town a whole lot my bike groans when I use the button to start it. These bike have enough torque to cruise 25 and 30 mph zones in 5th gear,but the rpms are way down. If I know I'm gonna be in town alot I just ride in third. Fuel mileage hasnt suffered at all and it sounds better
Definitely starts better.
IMO,they need to rev to charge. Of course I'm used to SOHC's. Do the DOHC's charge sooner or at idle?
