Battery not charging when running

[Ohmster]

No the bike does not need to be running to check the VR for grounding.

 

[Ohmster]

One other check to do. With the bike not running, disconnect the stator plug and set your meter to read continuity. Take the negative lead and touch it to the engine case. Take the positive lead and check both terminals of the stator in the engine case. Make sure neither of them have any reading to ground. You want them both to be on an open circuit.

ok so the VR grounding checked at 00.5

Continuity? Im guessing that is when you set it to beep when I contact the leads to the wires? If so do I want it to beep?

 

[Ohmster]

That's one way to do it. When you check the stator plug for continuity you don't want it to beep on this test.

 

[TheCleaner]

:lol: Sorry I know I sound stupid here.

No beep.

Your voltage regulator needs replaced. Probably had a diode fail on the rectifier. You need to take it to a dealer and have them do a warranty claim on it.

 

[TheCleaner]

Cool

Thanks again for your time. Learned alot here.

Guess I will make the haul here soon. Take care. :flag:

Man, that shit was interesting, but I wish I understood it.

hell yeah Jason....you the man!

It's ALIVE!

And the Winner is...Voltage Regulator!

Just got done replacing it. Not a bad job at all. Fired her up and battery jumped right on up to 14V.


Thanks again fellas you guys freaking rock. Just another lesson I've learned here in this forum.:2thumbs:

Ill be posting pics soon as all the mods are done.

Congrats. and you didnt sound stupid to all of us,WAAAYYYYY Over my head:loony:

 

[N8KAM]

Good to hear:2thumbs: And very nice to see Ohmster again.. Great help as usual Jason.... :up: :up:

 

[06Mastiff_shawn]

Holy crap...that was an awesome thread to read. Great job ohmster and congrats on the fix cleaner.:2thumbs:

 

[lee]

Ohmster is the geezer. What VR did you put in there?

 

[TheCleaner]

Thanks again to all. I kept it BDM due to the warranty. May look to upgrade in the future...we'll see how this holds up...hopefully for a looooong time!

WHERE IS THE CIRCUIT BREAKER?

WHERE IS THE CIRCUIT BREAKER?

can somebody tell me where the circuit breaker is on 07 k9. battery not charging and i want to check that first.

 

[francoblay1]

Good Thread, I´ve learn some here

I thought it is worth it to bump it up again for the newer guys :2thumbs:

It's on the left side of the bike, right next to the horn. There is a little button.
