Acumen, the UK’s leading motorcycle electronics manufacturer, has introduced a new version of their best-selling digital gear indicator that includes a voltmeter. This will help owners to spot some of the more common problems with the battery and charging system, whether at home or out on the road. Typical issues include battery malfunction, failing alternator and faulty regulator/rectifier, any of which could leave you stranded (with a ‘flat’ or ‘fried’ battery) if not attended to. Hence the DGV is particularly useful for touring or commuting.
