I just got my Triumph RAt.net in there was an article about riders with Triumph 1050 Sprint; an a 955i Daytona. they are both upgrading the battery cables. the end result was ;;;;
OEM Condition:
Per above set-up, with Igntion on (no lights) - 12.3V
Cranking Voltage:
11.05V at battery;
9.6V* between starter terminal and starter body.
* it was even lower initially - ~ 9.05 - when re-tested after about 20 secs of cranking, it came up to the 9.6V level.
4 GA Upgrade:
Ignition On - 12.3V (same)
Battery Volts while Cranking - 11.05V (same)
Starter Volts - 10.9V
So picked up 1.3V with the new cables (~14% increase).
And most notably the total loss in the new cables amounts to only 150mV!
maybe this is part of our starter problems
