    I just replaced my battery on my 2003 VTX and charged it up before installing it. I started the engine and checked the voltage with a digital multimeter by hooking the contacts directly to the battery. I get a reading of 12.5 volts with the engine running and no change when I accelerate the throttle.
    Does any one have any suggestions whether this is correct?
    I checked the ground wires for tightness and corrosion and didn't see any corrosion, and the ground wires were tight.
    By the way I have a 2005 Harley Road King on order, hopefully will be here this week or next, but was needing to ride the VTX till it gets here.
