Thanks Townsend. I bumped up the rpms to about 1400 to get the voltage up to 12.86 V. I also wired in a switch for the alarm to make sure it's off when the bike sits up for a while. Over the past 2 days, the bike has started up several times without hesitation and I only had the battery on...

(Facepalm) - I completely forgot to mention. I also have a Gorilla alarm installed on the bike. I don't arm the alarm when it sits up for long periods of time though. Could it be slowly sucking the battery dry? :spank: All of my accessory lighting has been wired to be truly OFF when the...

Townsends: It's a hair above 1000 rpm at idle.

Final: Yes, the bike started on its own. I charged the battery up Sunday night and did all the testing Monday afternoon. It started on its own about 4 times total during all of the testing. I plan to take the bike to work tomorrow so I should find out Wednesday afternoon if the bike will...

Motogiro, I quickly went out and took a look at the connection. Looks perfect.

Also, I tested the resistance across the three white leads from the stator to the R/R. My voltmeter doesn't go down to small ohm readings but I was able to get rough readings of 0.4 ohms between all three lines.

Results so far: Battery at rest = 12.4 V Battery at 4000 rpm = 13.8 V Regulator/rectifier (red lead at positive and black lead at negative on the actual rectifier) - 12.3 V at idle with only low beams on - 12.1 V at idle with high beams and accessory lights on - 14.1 V...

Thanks for all of the fast replies everyone! :thumbup: I'll try everything tomorrow when I get home from work and see what I get. Follow-up post tomorrow night.

The short: I'm on to my 3rd battery in 10 months. Bike doesn't have enough juice to start. The long: Bought my used 09 last September. It still had its original battery. All was fine until the winter. Didn't ride the FZ for a month and it wouldn't turn over. Didn't know about bump...

You will NEVER get that asking price. I bought my 2009 black raven in May last year for only $4400 and it had the same additions as yours plus more. And it only had 4000 miles. Just a reality check for you, take it or leave it

rsw81, if you had seen any of Ridapart's other videos, you'd know they are about entertaining the viewer and are not politically oriented.

So many people keep mentioning how we need mandatory gun training and gun safety training and so many other gun regulations that would have zero impact of stopping a mass shooter. The ONLY way to 100% ensure this never happens again is to guarantee crazy people can’t get their hands on a...
