I have a 2002 voyager and want to use an AGM battery, specifically the Westco and was wondering what the charging voltage should be to the battery. My bike puts out about 14.1v at 2000rpm at the battery but when I read it at the alternator output it is about 0.3v higher. The wiring read 0 resistance from the alternator to the battery so I don't know why there is the drop. Anyone heard about an aftermarket alternator that may put out more current that is available for the voyager XII. Thanks
