If you meant Amps
Use a V.O.M. set on DC Amps and the Amp clamp around the positive cable off the battery.

It would be dependent on what is turned on. Do you have running lights, amp for the radio, etc. Remember, all that current goes through one wire (red) off of the starter relay to power the whole bike unless you have a fused strip off of the battery to power accessories that have been added.

There's amps, volts, and watts.

I think the radio has 5 watts a channel.

I doubt that's what you were looking for, but all I got.

3 - 1157 bulbs on tail @ .59amps lower filament = 1.77 amps + lic. plate =1.8
headlight = 2.23amps + fog lights(2) 1.75 = 4amps
two turn/run front bulbs 1157 = 1.75 amps
gage light + small misc. + ignition = .5amps
This equals 8.2
_______________________________________________

That's 8.2 amps, so mine showing at  8 amps must be "OK",
even thou every one is telling me that's too high.
