Weld i don't have to rev it up ,charging seems to start right away . But also a cold start ,it may idle at 1800 or 1900 and tapers as it warms up.(love that fuel injection) I am going to put up pictures to show rpm and bike gauge and multimeter charge rates . Seems it charges enough to maintain the battery ,of course these pictures are with all the lights on . The wing does not give you a choice ,all the lights burn when its on or running. I am not super concerned about the idle charge if it dips a bit . I found out over the weekend ,if i am out on a ride with the wing ,i may see 1% idle time 99% rolling. That said , i still may replace everything i can with LED bulbs.
