![]() I was very upset at the quality control and the fact that it caused me to break it, but thanks to my friend- I am just annoyed now at the time spent, the experience, and wasting my friend’s time to fix it. My friend’s version snapped into the mount PERFECTLY, the 1st time! Like the original one SHOULD have, if there was any quality control to make sure it did so before it was shipped!īut now, it works GREAT! I think I actually like the Off if everything is OK, and Flashing Red if voltage drops 12v more than I would have the original Green/”Yellow”/Red! It wasn’t until I went to install the product with his LED that I realized the original LED was put together without care for where it was going to be mounted, it had too much heat-shrink that overlapped the LED, then each lead was also heat-shrink wrapped that made the whole LED too thick to fit into the hole/mount. ![]() I consulted with my coworker, who is a soldering genius, and we decided to replace the LED with a flashing red (he didn’t have the correct dual-color LED in the right size) – I lost the “green / yellow” lights but – I didn’t care… if I was having a problem, a flashing red light would get my attention better. I had a very hard time getting the LED mounted, to the point where the leads broke! I was upset with myself thinking I did something wrong! If you can point us in the right direction. Something wrong with this post? Thanks for letting us know. If your bike doesn’t have any type of voltage meter and you don’t want a digital display that you have to actually interpret and pay attention to, get this! If it goes red, you can see it, so it still does what it is supposed to do, that is, alert you that you are drawing power faster than the charging system can supply. Unless you are directly in front of the lens, the green light is not visible in direct sunlight. I don’t remember the old one being quite this dim. Second comment: the LED could be a little brighter. That would also help justify the somewhat expensive price and demonstrate TT’s high quality. ![]() Two comments: the installation would go even better if TT would substitute PosiTaps for those awful scotch-lok style wire connectors. So I was very happy to discover that Twisted Throttle sold the same item all these years later. Had to have that on my current bike, a Versys 650.

It worked well by alerting me that the stator was dying before it left me stranded. The first was for a previous bike a good 15 years ago. This is actually the second one of these monitors I’ve gotten over the years.
