I have changed every part of the charging system and still the battery (brand new, 3rd one) still drains, starts out at 12.7 volts, after a 20 mile ride the bike dies, battery down to 11.1 volts
I changed the stator to new, regulator/rectifier to new, rotor replace to on that measured good 5 ohm resistance.
Last year I took to a shop, they put in a manual headlight switch and capped of the yellow wire that they said was the draw, said its good to go but try not to use the headlight Bike died on the way home
Now I don't even know where to start... If someone can recomend a good shop in the Minneapolis, MN area that would be great. I can figure out mechanical things, but when it comes to electronics I am clueless...
Naturally I should have sold the bike as is and got a new one, however I am strangely attached to this one, even though it has been dying on me ever since I got it, I don't want to give up.
Thanks in advance for any help!
