Anybody got some words of advice for a voltage regulator replacement? I bought a new multimeter. (yeah!) And searched for my charging problem last night. The regulator was the only part not up to spec. All the connections are solid. (the regulator failed the bleed test) It looks fairly straight forward. Just sneaking that plug back into it's original location may be a pain. | ||

Dana . . .congratulations, bro . . . tell the babysitter not to wait up! Joe . . . aside from the getting the wiring back into the factory postion, it's a snap . . . .make certain ya got a good ground (some folks run an extra ground wire or strap after replacing the old-style exhaust hanger with the new one . . . . ) | ||
| Joebuell |
Can I check the ground somehow with the multi meter? | ||
| Bomber |
(passing on many of the available jokes here) that's iffy, Joe . . . . . at rest, you might measure 0 ohms, while, vibrating at idle, the ground could easily become intermittant . . . at speed, it could go away all together . . . . I'd get some wahr and make another ground path to the engine, f'i were you | ||

Buell Bash/BattleTrax weekend recap, Saturday was our annual Buell Bash, the weather was great! We had a bunch of riders take out our new Buells for a demo ride. The KC mob came up for the day. We got Jeff a new tire mounted up on his S3 while he was there, thanks for the Biz Jeff! Attendance was a little off from last year but I think it was just too nice of a day. Everyone was out riding! Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Our second BattleTrax event! Whhooo Hooo! The weather held out for us at last. Temps in the 70s! We started the morning at 6am to set up the course. Jeremy and Larry did a great job on the course. It was HUGE! 2 barrels and lots of very tight corners made it interesting for everyone. We had 44 riders,up 1 from last year but we had over 340 people thru the gate! The riders put in 502 runs by the end of the day so I think everyone got plenty of riding time. The course was big enough that we could get 3 or 4 on the course at one time, this cut down on the wait between rides. We had riders with sportbikes,YSRs,cruisers and dual sport/motards, no touring bikes showed to compete this year. The stunt riders, Team XMX and Kansas City's Most Wanted put on 3 great shows for the crowd. Those guys are just plain nuts! We had a vendors row with lots of stuff to look at and buy. We had Buell riders come from Mo,Kansas,Il,Mn,Ne and of course some of the locals from Waterloo in attendance! What a great day, everything went pretty smooth, I had lots of great help, even a few that didn't know they were going to help me(KCBill)we couldn't have done it without them. All the winners, including 7 year old Mason got a framed certificate to show off that they are the fastest. All the riders got one with their fastest lap time of the day. The winners also recieved a $100.00 gift certificate from the HD/Buell Cycle Center(I'll send yours with your helmet and plaque Sam). The big news(and no surprise to me) is that in the Sportbike class a Buell kicked ass! Sam, from KC ruled! The guy was an animal out there. I have to look at the time cards but I think he won by several seconds faster than anyone else in his class and was running close to the fast times set by the rider that won the Dual Sport/Motard class! Way to go Sam! You ROCK!!!! Well I have to go get ready for work now but I'd like to say thanks again to those that helped make this day possible, without you we couldn't do events like this. I know that lots of people probably think, what's the big deal, just set up some cones and there you go. Well, I want to tell you that it's a lot of work! I, and others put in 13 hours yesterday alone to make this event happen. Thanks to all the people that helped me. You're the best! Ride to the edge!
