Guest robson Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I've just my clock adjusted to daylight saving and accidentally discovered dashboard back-lid 3 level setting. I think for winter time it's a good idea to reduce the dashboard back-lid by setting it to lowest level, turning HISS led off and you can save few miliamps to help your battery especially when you do frequent stops.

Tonyj 6,907 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 If my battery can't take that little flashing light it's gotta be shagged and ready to change surely, adjusted the back light on ct coming home from ferry at 3am , did make it less glaring Link to post

Quite honestly the savings would make no noticeable difference Link to post

prr 153 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 robson, few mA more or less won't do any difference. Just the front light consumes more than 4.5 amps... Link to post

Guest Hati Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Why the concern Robert? In little less then 60000 miles (in your case) your bike will fall to pieces, much like the stapler, phone and desk in the Skittles ad... For that sort of lifespan, the battery is quite adequate to handle a few miliamps of extra consumption. Link to post
