Im gojng to take battery out too and have it checked.

I have 41 volts ac at idle on all 3 stator wires.i dont show a short between wires when set on continuity.could the stator be bad when warm,if so how would you check it.a friend told me you can only tell by pulling stator and looking at it.its just weird that all this started when the bike fell...

I wrote about the problem before.i had my 91 vmax fall over on the left side then developed a no charge problem.i replaced regulator and did run red wire from reg like the tech article said to the battery with 30 amp fuse.fixed the crimp problem.cleaned grounds and ran grd.from reg. to...

Everything points to regulator.got 40 volts ac from stator.checked red wire has 12 v.should i try a voltage reg.since you cant test them.any good deals on the ones that go back in stock location.

I checked the battery voltage and got 12.4 started bike and its not charging.my 88 had a problem with wires melting at regulator i think but cant remember.where should i start looking for wires that are melted.

i took my 91 out today.it started fine.after ten minutes of riding i stopped for gas and it cranked over real slow,then got home about 15 minutes later shut it off and tried restarting it and it spun over real hard for about four seconds and battery was like it was dead.its a new battery and...

My controler has to be lightly tapped to get it to work when key is turned on.how can i fix this or does it have to be replaced.the previous owner had the boost unplugged so it was open all the time.it started overheating once the air temp warmed up so i plugged it back in.it ran great but only...

I have a nice 91 for $3000 firm 19000 miles new tires battery.

I bought a 91 that had sat for a while.got it running great 18000 miles.now the vboost cycles every now and then.it always cycles when i tap on the control box, but dont know if it works right while riding.removing the side cover is getting old.would it hurt anything if i unplug the vboost when...

Got the new relay today and so far it works.thanks for the help.

Thats what i dont get.if i unplug the relay and test for voltage at the plug both wires have power.but when you hook up the relay both small terminals are powered and the start switch still works as it should.off the bike blue to ground and tap red to power and it clicks.when it clicks i have no...

Need wiring help.starter just clicks, jump big terminals and it starts.problem the small red and white and blue and white wires are hot when the key is on.i dont understand how the start switch is activating the relay if both are hot.i ordered a new relay and dont want to ruin it.i thought at...
