12 Volt relay to feed the coils??? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Bearly Flying · 06-03-2015

A popular mod on Motorcycles is to install a 12 volt relay and run heavier gauge wire direct from the battery to feed the coils, The existing 12 volt feed is used on the trigger side of the relay.
This puts approx 12.5 volts direct to the coils, reducing current on the switchgear and reducing voltage drop through the system.

Would this be a benefit to Our ZR-1's, would there be any risk to the ECM?
