I've never been. That's insightful. And yes, this ability would make me go faster!

I retired at 58, but 401k savings isn't accessible until 59 1/2.

I'm planning on getting one next year; waiting to turn 59 1/2.

"battery drain"? I've not experienced this, not even when I was gone on vacation for a month. I run a lithium, so maybe that has something to do with it. Regardless of a direct line to battery positive, what would be drawing down while not running?

I've been sharing this tip with others exploring the charging needs of the V11. After I recently replaced far too many components, I ran a direct wire from the battery to the Reg/Rec, and all is well. This additional positive lead was all it needed to behave as intended. I've since put a few thousand miles on the bike, some fairly lengthy rides, not a problem! Best to you, @orangem2

hmmm, at $5.50 each, plus shipping, plus harness assembly; Caspers adapter is a good value ($40 shipped).

Recently, I tried to find and purchase a few of these connectors, wanting to create my own TPS adapter. Partly to save money, but also because I'm a geek. I had no luck finding any. I'll try these links, thanks!

Just to add confusion, I'm still using the AliEpress relays I bought a few years back. Posted here:

@Sempervee1 Thank you for your service. I was stationed at Travis AFB, in NorCal. I actually grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, met a girl from Huntington Beach, thus my SoCal living the past 30 years or so.

I kept avoiding this style, didn't know about the switch. Thanks!

I like the GPR exhaust. I'm actually running this brand on my KLX250!

We spent a week in Athens, then another week visiting Greek islands on an MSC cruise. The ship also stopped for a day in Bari, Italy. Lots of scooters, and cycles, even a few Guzzi.

Sorry for my absent reply, I've been in Greece the past few weeks! It sounds like you have this covered now, no?

Long thread, forgive me as I haven't read it. Having just gone through this, I chased so many items, spent unnecessary amounts on new parts, only to find that a power wire directly to the battery fixed all my problems. I now have thousands of miles of confirmation under me. To be fair, Electrosport advises this additional wire, and they were right. This probably would have fixed my charging problem even with all of the OEM parts as well.

I've since shaved the grey beard; no longer a celebrity.
