Electrical issue - RVF400
Posted: Sun Jun 16, 2013 5:05 pm
First things first, it's easy to say I suck when it comes to the electronics, but I have you guys haha, here's the scenario :
After a charging issue I found the regulator was the issue,once change there wasn't any drain...or so I thought...as the bike had been sitting for a few months (I run it hot once a week to keep the oil from sitting) I took it for a run, 5minutes in and only low speed she cut out as I changed gear...hit the kill switch, turned her back on and I have a dead battery, a few miles of walking, I get home, charge the battery, chuck it back in the bike, leave it over night to check to see if I have another drain, 13v before and after, run her and rev her till the fan cuts it around 110degrees check the voltage and again, no changes.
So m question to the guys good with wires, could you figure my issue out?
Thanks everyone :)
