    The controller has a "safety" built in that when voltage drops below a preset voltage it cuts off the power. When you turn the key on then hit the starter button, the draw from the starter drops the battery voltage below the preset. The safety will also kick in if the battery voltage drops because of a weak battery, to many lights at a low RPMs. It's ment to try and save the battery to keep the bike running.

    I remember long ago when I used my Gerbing heated gear with my DL650, I had to be careful at idle since the draw of the heated gear exceeded what available current my bike was putting out... I always had to turn the controllers down low when that happened.
