Big Chief2011647545501 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I was riding for the first time this season after charging my battery completely and my tach turned off and my speedometer stopped working. Could this be a faulty battery or my alternator going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustlestiltskin Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 does the bike even turn on or is this what happens when u turn the key. Now, if this is what happens when you turn the key then it's def. a dead battery. I had this happen to me last year when someone turned my key on at a party of mine and forgot to turn it off and I didn't find out til weeks later. when I turned the key again everything was completely dead. Soo drained that it wouldn't take charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Triumph daytona. there is your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinkinhood Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Go nab a battery tender from Iron Pony and trickle charge the battery. If that's the problem you just fixed it, if not you got a real good thing for if you need to leave a vehicle sitting for awhile and don't want to deal with a dead battery later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chief2011647545501 Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Battery charged fine when i charged it turns out it was the Alternator. Looks like the copper had been rubbing and wore down so I got that replaced, should be back up and running in no time. And whats wrong with a triumph? Granted you cant find aftermarket stuff for them in the US and their electrical sucks but the nice thing is I'm one of maybe 5 in c-bus who has a daytona. unlike all you kids with your Gixxers and CBR's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinkinhood Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hey now I have an SV650 Triumphs just require a bit more maintenance than the common Japanese crotch rockets. I will say the daytona is nice, though I'm not a fan of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinkinhood Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Don't you know, bikes don't have hydraulic turn signals, it's all cable run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
