Do you have ABS?

Yes I have ABS and I run with my bright beams (stock lighting) on. I had not thought of this until today. Additionally, the ABS is showing no fault codes as far as the lighting on the triple plate goes. Thanks.

ABS pump puts additional load on electrical system--i.e.-alternator which loads down engine---decrease in rpm.

Don't worry. My bike does that, too. It has since new.
