I have a 1980 GL1100 (goldwing) that I stripped and have been taking to the St Thomas 1/4 mile. (12.67 @ 105mph)
A friend suggested I could gain some power by disconnecting the plug to the alternator. The thought being their would not be magnetic opposition to it turning.
Rather than fiddle with unplugging the connector before and after a pass I would like to add a toggle switch. Is it possible to switch off "power" going to the unit? The connector has 3 yellow wires but I thought maybe they are powered somewhere from a single source. My other option is to add 3 toggles switches - I'd rather just flick 3 toggles than fiddle with the plug. If I went that way would there be a problem flicking those switches one at a time with the bike running? Or would it be best to do that with the bike off?
Any help appreciated.
