		MAXIM-X CHARGING CIRCUIT TEST
=========================================================================


To test the charging circuit, use a multimeter switched to an
appropriate DC voltage range.  Just hold the red lead on the
positive battery post and the black lead on ground - a good
one of course is the negative battery post.


Check the voltage with the ignition OFF first to verify the
state of the battery.  You should see 12 to 13 volts.


Then start the bike and check it at idle.  If your idle is
at or below 1050rpm, you're likely to see less than 12 volts
because the Maxim-X A/C generator doesn't provide enough
voltage at that rpm to compensate for what's being drawn
away by the ignition system and the various lights.  If your
idle is around 1150rpm or higher, that's where you should
start to see more voltage than you read with the ignition off.
In fact, for that very reason, it's a good idea to keep the
Maxim-X idle speed above 1150rpm.


Lastly, slowly increase the rpms from idle while watching
the meter.  You should see the meter climb to 14 volts
smoothly and in a very short time.  The needle shouldn't
bounce around and 14 volts should be achieved almost
immediately after you start increasing the rpms from idle.
