KTM 640a Voltmeter

Tempo · 11-15-2007, 09:11 PM

I installed a voltmeter from DigitalMeter to monitor my KTM's [sucky] power output. So far it works well.

That's a good clean install. I like it. I may have to get one of those myself so I don't let my Gerbing jacket kill the battery.

Looks nice... just wondering how weatherproof it is?

Me thinks I'll find out today. I am riding 90-min south (to get a custom seat!) and the forecast is:

Today: Periods of rain. High near 55. South southwest wind 17 to 20 mph decreasing to between 5 and 8 mph. Winds could gust as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

It's still pretty dark here but I can tell that it's quite stormy right now. This could be a rough ride!

Well I rode 90 min in pissing rain this morning to Mr Eds Moto, where I am now, and the meter still works.

Wish I could say the same about the KTM... riding down the Interstate it started acting like it was gas starved. WTF? After coasting to the shoulder it sputtered along for a mile or two then went away. Not feeling real good about the ride home.

Back to working on my new seat...
