Solved my low charge issue.
« on: June 18, 2011, 02:06:03 PM »
My bike was charging at 14 volts at idle and 13.2 volts at 5000 which is below spec.

I went through and checked everything and it seemed to all check out. I cleaned all the connections, replaced the regulator, fuses. Nothing seemed to fix the issue. So ran new wires from the regulator to the battery. 12 gauge wire with a 25 amp fuse on the positive line. Boom, a steady 14.5. Woo hoo.

On the shake down run my temp light game on. It appears the rad fan isn't working now. One step forward, 2 steps back.

It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.
