Does the FJR have an auto shut off?

Good point about idle speeds not being enough RPM to get the stator working enough to charge up the battery. You have to ride the sucker for about 10 to 20 minutes just to recover the loss from starting it. Right?

Really? WOW!!

Yep, you will not get the battery recharged by letting it sit around idling

That would solve any stalling off idle problems, too!

After a lot of bikes and many years it does seem to me that running a weak battery and jump starting bikes will energize a large basket of snakes and lead to some very expensive experiences later down the road. I now dump and install a new battery at the first sign of weakness, or toss it for a new one after 4 years even if its still working. Just not worth the headaches to screw around with a battery.

Just a programming note. I've tested the "tipover kill switch" on my 14A at around 40 mph, give or take. Worked perfectly.
