Oil Pressure Switch A65

Without a bit of clever electronics, it is not possible to wire in a charge indicator light on this bike - you definitely don't want to connect a 12V bulb directly across the alternator. Besides, it is not normally a failure of the alternator that you need to worry about but a failure of the rectifier/regulator to convert this into 14.5V going into the battery. As said, if you haven't got an ammeter fitted, the next best thing is to fit a battery voltage monitor. Even on my modern Tiger 800, I have one plugged in to the front accessory socket so I can keep an eye on the battery voltage as I ride along to make sure it is charging at 14.5V.

Thanks Dave, great idea! Much more useful than standard.
