Author Message   Buell78758 Posted on Wednesday, August 08, 2007 - 03:12 pm:        Hi I have a 2000 X-1 with 20,000 miles on it. Just put in new battery also. Went to start it, and was DEAD..no juice anywhere, no fuel pump. Later all I got was slight weak dash lights came on. Checked battery and looks like its draining while in the bike. I have heard of stator problems cropping up with this many miles on the bike. Just before it was fine: starting right up with strong battery. A few days later was completely dead. I checked the obvious, fuses and kick stand cut out. Any tips?   Blake Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 11:53 am:        Follow the procedure in the manual to diagnose possible charging system problems. Check voltage across battery terminals when bike is running at a fast idle, around 2000 rpm. If below 13V, you likely have a bad charging system component or break in the circuitry. I think your suspicion of a bad stator is well-founded.
