Mine is 14.2v at idle and has been for the last 2 years. Failed around 90k and at 126k now and still looks new.

14.2V to be exact, your sound system is probably drawing 0.5 volts.

Yes, it is a 3 phase. Mileage is 39,000kms(24,375miles)
I hope my full heated gear didn't blow the system lol. Cross my fingers!

No. With 3 phase and not a bagger you should be able to run 2 full sets of heated gear and then some. OEM is pretty good and I dont think CC is an upgrade. Just cheaper and possibly more durable.

Thanks 02! It made me worry.
I was riding all day that saturday, full plugged in. Heated jacket liner, gloves, pants and insole, it happened on my way home, that's what made me wondered lol.
