is anyone using a digital voltmeter and clock, it has 3 wires. positive , neg, and 1 that says to hook up to a positive source controlled by ignition, i used the ignition fuse on a 82 GS 1100 E, what is the pupose of that and it is always on, will it drain the battery?

Where did you find the volt meter clock? If only it had a thermometer in it, that would be perfect. I can't say for sure if it will drain the battery, but if you are concerned half of the fuses only come on when the ignition is turned on. The power from the ignition fuse (aux fuse as well) goes up to the switch and once the switch is turned on this power is directed to the rest of the fuses.

Dude, I am no electronics tech but I would suspect the positive always hot wire is to keep the clock on and accurate. the one that goes to the ignitions is more likely to light it up and display it when your machine is one. I would suspect the always on wire is a very minimal current draw!Comment

yes i seen that one at RS, i don't think it's waterproof like the other one though, i just wanted it for the V-meter, after losing my R/R, but the clock is nice, guess i'll just have to charge more oftenComment
