that's not too low, just make sure your charging system is in tip top shape. firstly, check the yellow charge wires that come from the alt housing, LHS. they run up to a plug which has a habit of melting, if it looks scorched or melted replace it with a good quality plug assembly. the 888' had a single phase charging system which is not as good as later 3 phase (98 up) set ups. for this reason it's a good idea to use a battery tender to keep the battery topped up. if you let the battery run down, the amps needed to start the bike really deplete the battery, the alternator then trys to pump heaps of charge in to it and overloads the system. this causes scorched and burned plugs and ruined reg/rec units. once sorted and hooked up to a tender (if it's not ridden at least twice a week) you should have no problems at all.
