Re: Battery reverse connected. What's the damage?

hello people,

Well I charged up the origional battery over the weekend and changed the x2 30amp fuses and she fired up fine,
speedo seems to be OK as all the lights ect ect , dont know if she's charging the battery though.
can some one explain how to test this with a multi meter please.
sorry for the late reply and thanks for the help just been a little busy lately not been on much.

When engine running just touch each terminal with the multimeter cables + to + - to -. Set it to the DC low voltage setting.

Should read between 13-15v

Test at idle, lights on full beam, and at a higher RPM, should always stay between those figures.
