Author Message   Thepup Posted on Wednesday, January 19, 2005 - 08:49 pm:        spent the weekend repairing the axle,get that done,now it looks like the voltage regulator has gone out.I would love to go a month with out something going wrong.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 08:34 am:        Thepup... are you sure about the voltage regulator? How many miles on the bike? How did you test it? Diagnosis on these things can be trickey.   Thepup Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 02:39 pm:        I tested it per the manual instructions,regulator is getting the correct voltage from the stator,but is putting out less than 1 volt   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 03:08 pm:        Well, that sure sounds like a bad regulator all right...   Thepup Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 03:59 pm:        Reep,I will be in Cincy,first week of April.Maybe we can hit a few backroads.   Sleez Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 04:40 pm:        lonnie, when my volt reg went out on the S3, i was in the middle of replacing it, and found a wire was broken, fixed the wire and returned the new reg unused.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 05:38 pm:        That would be great! I am in Lebanon now, but close to Cincy, and there are some very nice roads arond me, or I can come to you. PM me when you are close. I will be gone the 7 to 10, but otherwise around.   Fullpower Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 07:12 pm:        I tested it per the manual instructions,regulator is getting the correct voltage from the stator,but is putting out less than 1 voltif you are measuring less than battery voltage then you are NOT testing the regulator per the manual. if you are measuring less than 12.6 volts, then you are not hooked up properly. check your connections, something does not sound right.}   Fullpower Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 07:18 pm:        spec is between 13 and 15 volts. if you were able to start the bike to test the regulator you would have 12.5 volts or better. if you dont have battery voltage at the regulator output then you have an open circuit. check 30 amp fuse, etc. best device to troubleshoot here is a test lamp. report back what you find. dean   Thepup Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2005 - 09:56 pm:        I get no voltage from the regulator when the bike is ruuning,stator is sending power to regulator,no power coming out of regulator   Vegasbueller Posted on Friday, January 21, 2005 - 03:17 am:        Pup: Check all the connections under the sprocket cover. I had the same problem, and found out that the B+ wire there at the regulator connector was fried! It was about a $1.00 fix to repair the wire. Also be sure to check the ground at the frame under thseat as well. Just some thoughts before you spedn the money on the regulator. Nick   Thepup Posted on Friday, January 21, 2005 - 10:57 am:        I checked all of the wires,connections.I have already ordered one,hopefully it will be here today
