Took the fairings off the bike today. Who designed those black plastic pin clips? Geez they are impossible to get out. Not to mention many of...
Wow! That's a crazy good deal!
I found that same post yesterday. If you keep searching "Rectifier Cooling Fan" you find that this doesn't work. The fans burn out because there...
I'm starting to think the same thing. My original thinking that the rectifier is the main culprit could be somewhat wrong. More reading and...
Very good real world info. Thank you. Is the current capacity of the connector really marginal or is it the "open" style connector that is the...
Yes, I was trying to take away from "The Drill" to discuss whether the stator itself is a problem if the rest of the charging system is upgraded...
This is interesting. Like I said I haven't been in there yet, but I did inspect the connector at the relay and main fuse and was a bit shocked...

Yes it would be good to have your wiring tutorial in there.
Yes that is a good one. Hadn't found that one yet. That's why a sticky would be helpful for us new people.
Not as much the cold because there are ways to deal with that. Most of the older bikes I have do not have charging systems like newer bikes. We do...
I've had pretty good luck with good quality lead acid batteries. I take them out in the winter, charge them and keep them in heated storage....
Was able to run a few tests today. The battery charged overnight. Charger showed full charge. Battery measured 13.6 Volts static. With engine...
I was thinking after reading over all the charging system problems with these bikes that "The Drill" should be made into a Sticky. There is a...
Spray some Liquid Wrench or other penetrating oil around the screw head. If you can rotate the switch cluster so the penetrant goes down this...
You can see mine in the shop picture. I sold it since that picture was taken. I cried. But I just didn't ride it enough and it freaked me out a...
Thanks for the link. :smile:
Yeah and you do nice work too. I'll likely be copying what you did.
