New battery. New R/R. Ran the bike up to 5K, with the high beam on. Voltage across the battery is 13.34 V. What gives? The manual says I should have 14.7 - 15.5 V. Anybody have any ideas?

Okay, I got my new battery and I tested the voltage. I'm still only getting 12.98 V. It's better than the 12.68 V I was getting with the old battery. Will someone check their standing voltage and tell me what they get? The manual says I need upwards of 14 V, but I'm not getting it. Also, is someone locally here in metro Phoenix willing to let me "borrow" their R/R just so I can put it in my system long enough for me to do a test to see if it'll supply the regulated voltage? That way I can rule out if it's the R/R, or some other componenet that's not letting my battery recharge. The reason I'm thinking of trying this is because I had an earlier post, right after I installed the new R/R, that showed my charging voltage to only be 13 V. Perhaps this meant the R/R was bad when I installed it. Or that I have something else that's wrong. So, anybody willing to help me out? I'm off work all day tomorrow. I have an MSF course to teach on Sat and Sun. I work Monday night. I'm off Tuesday. And I fly out to VA on Wednesday for a week.

No problem at all Dave!

No continuity at the stator wires. Has anyone else gotten the Electrex unit? Any problems? I called Electrex (now Electrosport) and they're making me go through Partmonster to get this item replaced just because I didn't buy it directly through them. Damn... On a side note. My voltage at the battery is 12.68 V. According the the service manual, it's above the cut-off. But still low. So, as a precautionary means, I bought a new battery. Also, during the leakdown test, I got about twice what I should have had. It was .553 mA. Any concern?

Did the leak down test: .553 mA Did the R/R connector test: .5 ohm between the yellow wires, battery voltage of 12.68 V at the red/white, ground at the green

Okay... did I get a bad R/R? My bike died today. Had to push start it to get home. Put the charger on the battery at 2 amps. It registered done in less than five minutes. Could have been 1 minute, I don't know since I put it on the charger and went inside the house for about 5 mins. So I run the bike up to 5K with the highbeam on and the DMM reads 12.38 V. Seeing that I only put 700 miles (shut up Carlos... :greenfingers: ) on my bike since I put in the R/R, what do you think? Partmonster: warranty item?

Carlos had instructions with pics on the main site, but I think it's still down. Carlos?

PM me if you want their contact info.

I'm in AZ but I'm using a company out in CA called Pacific Casualty Ins Co. I pay $119/year for liability.

What european stuff?

Haven't installed mine yet. Hope to get to it tonight.

This isn't me. I got this from another list. Just thought I'd share with my XX bretheren. http://smithmeister.net/919.html

I'll third.

Hey Louie! I may need a receipt to prove my bike was down and I couldn't get it to the emissions testing station to get the test done, which I needed to bring over to the Motor Vehicle Division, so that I could renew my plate tomorrow! My plate's expired Dec 31 and I think they're going to try to charge me a past due fee since they haven't gotten my money yet. I tried to pay them ahead of time! But they wouldn't do it until I got my emissions test done. They didn't care that the bike wasn't operable. I'm going in tomorrow morning to renew my plate, and with a receipt for the R/R, I hope the person is sympathetic...

No, not a month. It took about two weeks. I think the holidays plus the snow that blanketed the east coast is what caused it to be delayed so much. I got it from partmonster. The Electrex for $135.

I paid $20 for four runs.

I still need to order that fuel tank sending unit. But, you can thank Carlos and his plethora of Shuberths, 'cause now I don't have the money for it! I'll probably order it next month.

I was kidding about the pony express. I didn't mean the USPS. My R/R was dropped off by UPS, but it took about two weeks! So I was saying it was delivered from the east coast to Arizona by horse...

Oh man! I LOVE the new emoticons!! :rockon:

Checked the battery. Strange, but I get 14 something volts at idle and 13 something volts at 5K rpms! Shouldn't it be the other way around? Went for a quick ride. Damn stop signs are just popping up around here! Damn development... Why do they have to build houses along the COOL deserted roads?! She ran beautifully! No more dimming lights. Gauges stay on. I'M BACK BABY!! :cycle:

My vote is for the AV45/46.

I just received my R/R today. Gonna install it and take her for a test ride. I'll post results!

I JUST received my R/R today. Louie, I think you used the pony express, and not UPS... Anyways, thanks for getting the part to me.

Neither have I. But, I'm sure it's on its way. If Warchild supports the company, I doubt they'd screw us.

D) Hookers!! Will you guys NEVER learn?!
