That's pretty much it.

I once calculated that with everything (standard bike - no accessories) switched on (and I mean absolutely everything) the total power consumption on the Z would be about 288W, leaves only a couple of Watts spare! This isn't likely to happen though unless you're prone to riding around with your finger on the headlight flash, the hazards on, sounding the horn, braking at the same time in hot weather with the radiator fan running!!
