No voltage to relay https://imgur.com/a/RgYZHgN

Anyone have any idea why I can get resistance across the relay testing with the ignition but not voltage?

Confirmed grips work connected directly.

Confirmed voltage to the point(brown wore to rear lights) with ignition switch closed

So relay works but not passing current. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

JJ, the CB650 has a well known crap charging system so why the hell would would you want to complicate things any further? Buy thicker gloves!

It's just for a few weeks out of the year. What can I say, I like my gadgets. And my skinny boney fingers are the coldest part of me while riding.

Anyway, I got it to work with alligator clips, so once my electrical hardware arrives I should be good to go.

I admire your determination! :lol:
