When you stop by let's make sure we talk about the extended side stand. It's a real improvement over OEM because the bike does not lean nearly as far. With your connections at the shipyard I think...

The clock is constantly draining a tiny amount of current from the battery. The ECU is probably sucking a few electrons too, just to maintain settings. My '21 RX4 is still running the OEM battery...

Thanks for the wiring diagram. It's pretty hard to read. I'm guessing that has to do with the fact that it has been copied, compressed, and re-formatted a few times.
