DerekClouser Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 So about a month ago I was having electrical issues (battery wasn't staying charged) - replaced stator, rectifier, & battery. Rode about 1100 miles (including epic ride), no issues til last night. Battery is dead again. I will be running voltage tests (was charging battery last night) to make sure the stator/rectifier are working. If they are, what issues would you suggest me looking into next? I know I am having good connections between the positive and ground to the battery as well.If the stator/rectifier are working I guess the next step would see if I have a short somewhere that's draining the battery. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Have you had the battery load tested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Street Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Pull all the fuses and measure:Measure from the + terminal of the battery to ground, key off.Measure from the + terminal of the battery to ground, key on.Replace the fuses one at a time and:Measure from the + terminal of the battery to ground, key off.Measure from the + terminal of the battery to ground, key on.This will tell you if you have a short and which side of which circuit it is on.Yea, it's slow and cumbersome but it is definitive.Get a wiring diagram for your bike and post it to this thread.
