I've fitted an electronic dissy from a VH Commonbore to my red motor, and have been told that I need to feed it 12+ volts and therefore shouldn't use the original +ve wire to the coil as it will supply only 7 to 10 volts when running. But I've tested the voltage at the coil end of this original wire with the engine running (idle only; maybe the voltage will drop at higher revs?
) and found that it still has 12+ volts...
1) Should I use this original wire to the new set-up or will it possibly damage the electronic coil/module/dissy? OR
2) Should I feed it via a relay, and if so, what is the
maximum amperage that the electronic dissy would draw? (this info required to select a suitable relay and in-line fuse)
All advice gratefully accepted...
Thanks
