    0.84V and 0.34V?

    i guess you did not do a SPG. You could probably also clean out the fuse box

      My bike has only a single main fuse. I have r/r negative wired directly to batt negative post

        The reading is 84 not .84. Don't know why

          Use the same setting to measure the battery; it is supposed to be about 2V then move to the voltage drops with the same setting.

          84.0V is highly improbable as nothing on your bike can provide that.

            My guess is the meter is set to the wrong scale.

            Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

              I can only imagine

                Dont mean to hijack
                But is the diagram for the 850GT/GLT good for all 850s?

                  It should be dcv set to 20 right? On that setting my battery reads about 12.8 not 2v. Am I on wrong setting. Starting to feel pretty dumb....
                  I wired up polaris r/r unmounted and did phase a test with a new multimeter. Positive lead drop .37 negative lead drop reads .09

                    20 VDC shoudl be fine.

                    That is better. Did you clean the fusebox and the bullet connector between the battery and the fuse box. If you can tget teh 0.37 down to about 1/2 of that you will be good. Your voltage at 5K should rise correspondingly.

                      My bike only has a single main fuse, no fusebox. There must be something I'm not seeing, wires and connections look fine. Thanks for keeping up with my thread. Anyone have any good ideas for where to mount the polaris R/R? I've read where other guys have put it but there doesn't seem to be room on my bike for those spots. Maybe left side if I move igniter to the right side. Was even maybe thinking top of rear fender, just not sure if my seat will fit after that lol

                        When you say clean the fuse box , I'm loosing like 3 volts between battery 12.8 and the bike side of the fuse block ?
