I have installed those in several bikes. They worked great, except in the TDMs. On both my TDM and my partner's TDM, the light is red and sometimes even flashing red before the bike is started, yellow at idle, switches to red if the brakes are applied, flashes red/yellow when the signals are on, and by the time a long traffic light changes it's gone to solid red. It only goes green when you get the revs up a little higher. Since it's been doing this in both TDMs for some years now, and I have gone over my TDM's electrical system with a fine tooth comb looking for a fault and found none, and I have never had any other symptoms that would lead me to suspect a problem, my conclusion is that "normal" for a TDM doesn't match the ranges that the Signal Dynamics voltmeter is calibrated for.
But it worked great on my DL1000. I saw green everywhere I expected to see green, and when my battery died, I got a month of yellow lights as warning. I put off doing anything about it, but stopped taking the DL1000 on trips, just rode it around town. Sure enough, the voltmeter was right on target - the battery completely died about a month after it started warning me.
I have one still new in box sitting on my workbench, that I bought to install in my VFR and never got around to installing. I'll happily put it in the Super10, but unless someone here can confirm that the electrical system matches its calibration, I'll be careful to install it somewhere where it can be swapped out easily if I end up with a TDM-style light show from it.
