For the last few days when I was working on it I had my battery tender hooked up but for the last day I forgot to hook it up while running the system. I suspect it was cutting off due to low voltage. I put my poly back (reduced the amount per your suggestion), tighten the screws on the power plug and closed it up. I tested it with the bike running at idle and it fine. I think the battery was just run down a bit. I forgot how much current this sucked draws.

I did turn the gain up a bit to 6 because the XM output is probably 25% lower that the normal FM radio. I know I have read around somewhere about this being a problem. XM is really all I listen to so I should be ok with the gain up but time will tell.

I am going to leave it alone now and take a day ride tomorrow and see how it sounds and holds up.
Always keep your bike on a battery tender when parked. I paid $900 for a rotor and stator on an old bike for not doing that. They can be had for $30 all day long on eBay.

I have one, just didn't have it plugged in. Normally my bike stays on it all the time but I had it in a different spot during the install. Lesson learned.
