[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 170075, member: 1632"] Just as easy as with the RITA. No problem what so ever. I suspect my experience with the Alton not providing enough power was my headlight, it is a 55/60 watt quartz halogen which uses between 4.5 and 5 amps. Which leaves at most 10 amps for the amplifier and coils. Which I have to admit I have no idea what the consumption was, as after a night ride I would disconnect the battery from the system and connect it to a battery tender so I would have a fully charged battery for the next ride. Determining what the draw of the ignition system actually is, is not that difficult. You only have to place a multimeter between one of the battery terminals and the respective lead to see the current draw when the ignition alone is switched on. This would also confirm what the ammeter says the draw is. [/QUOTE]
