Jcroz91 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 My first guess was a short or bad ground involving the HID harness.. But I figured it would have been fused which should have popped by now.. Then with whistling and poofted battery talk my next guess was voltage regulator or stator going bad.19V seems pretty high and can certainly fry stuff.. I suggest checking out the charging system and as previously stated, start checking for pinched or frayed wiring.That whistling/whining is your bikes electrical system being boiled like a lobster..Good luck!The whistleing was the pressure of the steam shooting out of the battery. like a pot of boiling water on a stove. cause the less if would steam the less it would whistle...

Cheech Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Looks like a brand-new, OEM rectifier is about $150 plus ship: http://www.powersportspro.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/addtocart/216561/50/14462/1434/default.aspxNot too terrible money-wise, you can certainly have a lot more expensive parts break down. However, if you were pushing 19V and god only knows how many amps through the wire harness, you better check CLOSELY for warps, melting, loose connections, anything. New OEM wire harness is $488 plus ship, so far you're getting off light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing must have been hot as shit, you're really lucky it didn't burst or leak on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shittygsxr Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Just get a used rectifier from ebay or cyclesearch. Do run the bike until you fix it because you are destroying batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
