Thanks TOOLS, I actually did that with a plain ol' paint marker!!... I was a local graffiti writer for years, yup I was one of those kids wrecking local freeways and buildings at night,but getting into bikes looks like I should see how far I could push pin striping, never tried before, threw that on in less than 5 mins, playing around, so again THANKS MAN!!

actually my tach cable is shot, so I ride by ear and feel on the rpm's not sure what we were revving it up to when checking...
A joint here called rice paddy said they'd check and diagnose my charging system, I have an agm battery, bought a lil trickle charger for it...I ran like 30 mins to work, let charge like 6 hours (slow day at work!) And another 30 mins home...I didn't check that battery when I got back, but I know the system isn't shot!

....I like hearing that the sohc charging systems are so reliable!
If it is going out, how long can you ride on a battery!? Hahaha!
I'm just trying to keep riding here & there till I scrape up the $$ for the parts...

Tmw it'll be fully charged again...  so I guess I'll start her up and use my old volt meter to monitor it...
Should it be FULLY jumping back to 12+ volts or is it a gradual climb in the recharge over time, considering if it's above 2500rpm's??

Maybe I made that sound stupid.... basically what's the amount of juice that should return at 2500 rpm's??

In any case, if I can ride 30 mins or so, maybe it's not the stator...regulator maybe??
If I can ride that long and I don't really feel like it's dying maybe something needs adjusted?? (Those are straight up questions, cause I'm not sure!!)

Ha ha! Went to/from work today! Only my second time on a bike, I made it up to 60 mph! Faster than it sounds, for my rookie ass!!
