Tonight on the way to a ball game I noticed my on-board honda marine Volt meter was giving various readings between 12V - 14V. Historically that volt meter has always read a hair over 14V. I rode the approx. 10 miles home from the ball park and before I shut the bike off I obtained the following from the battery terminals:
At idle - 14.1V
At 2000 rpm - 14.25V
After engine was turned off - 13.3V
When I plugged in the battery tender it indicated the battery was charged (as did my volt meter).
Before I shut the bike off I checked for FI codes using the neutral/kickstand method-nada.
It looks like all the numbers are within spec and wonder if perhaps my on board Volt meter took a dump.
This is a 2004 Level 1 with approx. 102k miles. A new OEM battery was installed in May, 2009 with 55,110 miles on the bike.
Any thoughts/input appreciated. Thanks is advance.
