Charging too well?

No. Power can flow through a fuse in both directions.

Thanks, you'll have to forgive me for being electronically impaired!

No, but it might prevent worst stuff! The sense wires that I measured both drew .0004 amp with bike ignition off. Yes, that was a decimal point followed by three "0"

Probably the sense wire connection- so r/r does not "see"battery well. Connect the sense wire direct to battery positive and see if voltage levels off at about 14.5 maximum.

Yes, this.

Don't worry about it draining the battery, it won't. I've been doing it on several bikes for years and years.

A better but more difficult solution is to get rid of the voltage drop between the switched lead your sense wire is hooked to.

I've installed a few of these Honda R/Rs and used a relay for the sense wire. If you already have a relay powering heated grips and/or the coils or whatever, just add the sense wire to the mix.

If you have a relay, then that is the best place for a sense wire.
