Wrong! That right there is a left hand model!

Started replacing the clutch and doing the DD mod, unfortunately ran out of time and had to leave for work.

I went on a ktm demo ride last summer and got to jump on a 1290 Superduke R. Those bikes are completely badass.

"ran when parked."

haha I'm glad you found it, because I didn't have a clue what the connector type was!

it is a lead for a battery tender.

I have wanted one of these since right after I got my Vmax! very hard to find in my neck of the woods.

I'm not even sure if there are three running Vmaxes in my entire county. I know of three others within 50 miles of me, two of em owned by the same dude.

I would like to find a Fazer to compliment my vmax some day.

Ah, thanks Fire-medic for the words of wisdom. Don't get me wrong, I love tinkering but I think I enjoy riding more ;-) Oh well, like you said before I know it I'll be back on the road marveling at my flickering oil light. I usually just tell my friends that is the boost light... :punk:

Just a quick update for anyone wanting to know, I finally found my elusive multimeter and put it on my battery. 13v w/ key off. 16.5 volt w/ engine idling at 1,000 rpm. So, off with the old (6 month old) R/R and ordering a new MOSFET type R/R. Hopefully this will be the end of my charging woes...

The first bulb was stock replacement, the second was a Sylvania. That was another thought I had... Why is it only the headlight going and not everything else?

10 amp fuse... Which after looking at diagrams I believe may be too small? Voltage, amperage it's all so confusing lol

Predawn light unfortunately... Didn't get to benefit from the 30 seconds of ultra brightness. Haha. So. New question? If the r/r is overcharging enough to pop my bulbs...why is it not blowing the fuse first?

ok, I'll check battery voltage. I forgot to mention in my OP that I replaced the R/R earlier this year.
