Kuryakyn 4219 Chrome L.E.D. Battery Gauge

After experiencing catastrophic stator-rectifier failure on a long motorcycle ride, I installed a Kuryakyn battery gauge. The gauge displays a series of LED lights with red on the left, then orange to the middle and green from center to right. As long as you have green lights flickering, you know the charging system is working. In the event of system failure, you get red/orange warning lights, and instead of a dead battery and motorcycle beside the road, you have some time to remove headlight fuse and shut off any other non-essiential electrical accessories, and hopefully have enough battery left to get home or to help. Pros: This thing is tiny, so you can mount it about anywhere, bright easy to see day or night. You can order it in chrome or black finish. Connect to any source that is normally on when riding, like tail light circuit. Negatives: In my opinion, the red light on the left is almost distractingly bright (of course you can tape over it).

This is a nice looking volt meter that looks good on your bike. It installs with very strong double-back tape. It's accurate enough to use as a baseline reference. Mine reads a little on the low side, but then, I connected it at the end of a small diameter switched accessory line. My Fluke meter showed lower voltage out there then at the battery. So I just consider what it normally reads as my standard to compare to if there are problems.

This thing is pretty bright. Enough so that you may be drawn to look at it too much. And in the wrong place at night I suspect it could be quite annoying. I decided to mount it on the steering neck, just below the handle bars. Meaning, when I look at it, I see it past the bottom of the handlebars. Most of the time I can't see it unless I look down. And at night it's far enough away, and at only a small angle up from flat, so I don't get the full brightness all the time.

It's a good gauge to add to your bike. But don't get obsessed with looking at it all the time.

I had problems with battery going dead so I bought this gauge to watch my electical system. It is just plain inaccurate. I gave it one star because it doesn't do it's basic function. I compared with a Fluke meter that I know is accurate and there is 2 volt difference. I called Kuryakyn and they said don't worry about the numbers, only the LEDs. However, there explanation of the LED scale doesn't match the 8 16 Volt scale.

Good product, easy to install. Only negative is the red and yellow and green LED's are always illuminated. At night they are a little distracting. Wish only the LED corresponding to the voltage would illuminate.
