ok have the new battery installed and ready to do some overcharge testing but the bike is dead... nothin no headlights no tak looking for a fuse I guess???

it may be a fuse witch is under left cover on the wire from VR. it is either a fuse or a breaker. on breaker there is, or may be a reset button. Or you may have boiled one too many battery and fried EHC unit with too high voltage for too long time…

Basically, yes.

Remember, even though that was headed in the battery of 32 amps? It still had to pass thru the VR and this drops current. It still is being separated in the battery, but say the battery is now the resistor/converter in a way. This is 16v out the battery and the rest is kettle'ing some liquid in a boiled state.

The lights are still in a math kind of rated for, 'uses so much voltage' or it burns out. So no, a 12v bulb cannot last against 16v+ of input or more at it. We are handcuffed to Ohm's laws or the house burns down, the battery blows, you get knocked on your feet you plug something in, etc.

How could you sort of answer your own question I quoted and not buy the volt-reg with the new battery? Right now, your bike is a rolling battery charger, not a balanced kind or start riding as designed. You have a failed part that is causing you to keep buying batteries:

1. Not the Battery = Works for 30 minutes and that means it still worked in that time-frame.

2.. Not the Stator/Rotor = That is working beautifully as it blows bulbs and battery tops.

3. It's the VR = This says it cannot regulate; is it a bridge alright... bridges bommth lanes to boil the batt and is not regulating the voltage ~ BINGO is the WHY!

:hi: :D
Wow I feel drivin hard and put away wet, thanks for the info.....

I think I fryed my EHC. How can I test it??

Are you sure you have all the wires connected to the battery? Sometimes one will fall away someplace. Are they all hooked to the right terminals? Do you have a volt meter? do you have voltage anyplace in the system?

I hope so, positive has four wires, the starter the EHC then the jumper cable for the 40amp fuze then the horn.
The jumper goes to a positive post that the regulator goes too. The battety shows 12.5
The jumper has power on the other side of the fuse and the starter has power
That power to the horn has a lead off of it that I don't understand, it has a blinker fuse at the end of it(at least thats what it looks like




I do not have power to the key switch

hi Seven I'm a new member I own a 06 K9, and have or been having problems with batteries over heating, acid vapor escaping from the breather holes and almost exploiting, I have the VR checked and at that time it was working fine it's when I get hard on the throttle that this happens.
If you have any input I greatly appreciated

K, as simple as Kevin mentions to replace the reg and be done with it, some of these check good and if you are not seeing the charge rate with a volt meter connected to the battery, pound the throttle and watch the volts at the same time. You've gotta do the work like that to diagnose this phantom, 'checks ok but I smell acid.'

I've heard both [some] kawi and suz [model years] would do the same thing. Faulty regs that check good. So at this point, I'm leaning more to a vo/reg that checks good, but during service [heating up normally] she cannot regulate... Is my best guess.

The battery is new I'll swap it out... The regulator is what, 75$? Do ya think HD would carry that part for BDM?
I don't think H-D is going to have a regulator for your bike. However, I have a brand new one that I can sell you for $75.00 shipped. Let me know if you are interested.

That brings up a stator output rating at 22a or the 32a, look out da way; headlights/taillights buy the dozen I gotta outdue dem dare poker runner uppers wit dare 45a's; eyes gots me a 22a-vo/reg on me 45a stator come sniff. Dat dare is da shitcan sauce marinade. Who brought the bbq is I did. I'ma gonna get me bike close to that watthe fuck are all those lights on for, it's getting hot near my vapor; here comes the lighter for the charcoal...!!!

Dam whatever you are smoking needs to stop before you hurt yourself. I thought I was fucked up hum

Could it be a stator not balanced with the rated volt/reg and that is why the sulfur is over boiling, if not separating the plates internally, by having these huge boiled oxygen/hydrogen turned bubbles, bangles, bright shinny streets?

That tone it down any lol
