Hello everyone! I’m new here so please be nice. I did search the forums prior to asking this but came up with posts that were only slightly related.
Anywho.. inherited this beast from my Dad.
For as long as I remember it’s had a power draw issue. When running the headlights and the fan kicks on the battery light will blink on the dash. It used to trip the breakers but my dad cut them all out and put 15 amp fuses in line. By the time I got it the battery wasn’t charging at all. I replaced the rectifier regulator on it and I believe that issue has been fixed, haven’t ridden it enough since the replacement to tell. Still, I also have never seen the voltage on the bike to be above 12.5. Also, has a brand new battery? Would wiring up a secondary battery help? is it a stator issue?
