How to Install Voltmeter?

i donno leh lolz..means u can help once u get the fact ?

[ractive89]

sorry ar..wan to ask a noob question here..wat is the voltmeter for..??

i'm gonna try it out tonight under my viod deck... if u want u can drop by... very easy to fix... bring along ur bike manual if possible...

to monitor ur batt voltage... average batt life span is 1yr to 1 1/2yr... change the batt if u see the voltage going lower... riding with a batt with low voltage causes electronic components to malfunction... u can also see that ur batt is charging wif the volt meter... i think that's the volt meter for...

i'm riding k7... the prob now is...dunno where to mount the meter...

[DaN zI]

ya lor i also keep lookin donno where to mount.if nv put beside meter maybe not so nice hor

after R&D for awhile under my block... finally come to a conclusion... connect to fuse is the correct one... i'm 14+V after starting my bike... which i think is the correct voltage... thanks for the tip Paiseh... i also found a perfect spot to mount the meter using some simple bracket...

haha thanks bro wait till i get myself a voltmeter i will contact ya.. is it okie ?

hope i'm free...haha... by the way... y not get a better volt meter rather than the LAB one...

LAB one is autogauge one ma .. i see also not bad lol. or any recommendation?

not sure...i myself using autogauge one.. $65

u referring to this ?

bro wat value is it charging?n wat value is iding?

If so LAB sellin this for $30 . but he said sell to me for $25 once goods arrived

 

should be same i think...

 

bro wat value is it charging?n wat value is iding?

 

idling should be 14V... riding should be 14++ near 15... with headlight on

[Refugee]

IIRC,

 

idling at 14V is considered too high...ideal for idling is 13.5V - 14v

 

ideal charging is between 14-15v while riding...

 

oh well..... makes no difference to some i guess..

[eement]

mine is 14.2 w/o headlight n 13.0-13.2 when riding w headlight on

maybe my idling higher...hehe

cannot be that low bro... better check ur batt or something...should be bear 15V..

hi all,i just bought the digital gauge from lab last week..now the problem i facing is...do i need to apply silikone on the volt meter so tat water won't go in...thanks

hOw much u bought it ?

[gorgonitz82]

hey guys ... i connected the digital voltmeter to a fuse and ground ... idling my reading is 11.8V. then rpm ard7k is 12.8V. But when rpm goes higher, the reading goes down .. so my peak reading is ard 13V at low rev .. any idea wat is wrong?

[Jfor_Jimmy1986]

yozzz... anyone here got the Shadow voltmeter?

 

can show some pics on how to fix on s4 and how to waterproof-ed the vmeter??

 

appreciate ur replies..............

[Refugee]

could be voltage regulator... or rectifier...

btw your volts are very low...

 

12V battery switch off engine after a relatively long ride should be around 12.9 volts.

 

riding charging should be between 13.5-14.0v

Put silicon around the gaps and tape up with black tape. -ve to bike frame and +ve to fuse in the fuse box and per the thread starter.
