Twist
In preparing for a GPS install, I fished out the ACC 1 and 2 wires from under the seat on my '16 1290 R. Sure enough, the ACC1 10A circuit is always on and shows 12+V with the bike turned off and the ACC2 shows no juice. When I turn on the bike, it get an instant 12+V on the ACC2. I start the bike and it continues with no glitch just like I'd expect. But when I turn the bike off with the key, the ACC2 voltage drops not to zero but to about 8V. It stays there for a while and then finally drops off to zero.
On my BMW CANBUS bikes, it's normal behavior for the bus to stay hot at 12V for a minute after I turn the bike off. It makes me think that the KTM controller works similarly but what I'm puzzled about is why I'm not seeing a full 12+V on the ACC2 connection. The bike is new with less than 300 miles on it and the battery shows 12+V on it. Why would the ACC2 voltage drop when so significantly when it goes into this "countdown to off" mode? Something like a Gerbing controller probably wouldn't care but I'm a little worried what it'll do to any 12V accessories (like my zumo GPS) when they see an 8V supply.
So, what's up with that?
