No doubt!! I accept that and half expected a bit of battery trouble...
After it failed I ran a gear lower to keep the revs up. Battery recharged and all was fine. I'd say that it's a given that at low RPM the alt won't be making as much current as it is when its spinning faster. The output in the manual is mesured at 5k, so I'm guessing that's peak and less than that below.
With a low reving bike like the CB it won't be getting much peak power and I'll bet some bikes on the forum hardly ever see 5k.
It might be easier just to run the bike in a lower gear, on the odd occasion I'm running all the heating and keep the revs up.
216w and 18amps for the clothes
+ phone charger ??
+ lights and bike power étal
Definitely running close to the edge at peak...
I need more power!!! Always the way...
