Adding extra electrical load cannot possibly convert into mechanical disadvantage. I think your critics are thinking of their bicycles with dynamo powered headlights :-) More electrical load might make you discover that you need to push harder to achieve the same results but there's no way the dynamo itself gets harder to spin. -- Cheers Andrew

Enough of the silly monkeys. Just explain whatever it is you are avoiding. How does the engine management computer figure out the fuel flow rate? Nev.. '04 CBR1100XX
