Author Message   Stuarth224 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 12:45 pm:        I have a 95 2s with a battery charging problem. Was riding and it started missing had no lights then died, couldn't restart it. Bought a new battery ran or for 100 miles got home couldn't restart had to push start, then same as before with missing problem. Does that sound like a problem with the voltage regulator? or something else. Has anyone else had problem like this before?   Leftcoastal Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 01:12 pm:        Suffice to say that you are NOT the first to experience this scenario. Could be a host of different things. Start with simply checking the stator wiring and connections between the regulator and where the wiring goes into the case just on front of the starter motor. Fix any bad stuff. Could be the regulator is toast, and/or the alternator. Get out your service manual and start testing things. Or get it to someone that has the know-how and tools to check out the various components.

Mine broke off at the lug and gave the exact symptions. I took a torch and heated up the lug, bulled the broken wire out and re-soldered the wire back in. Off the bike! It was long enough with no problem to do it. Also, the original battery is loose in the holder, even with the clamp as tight as it will go. This is what I believe caused my issue. Vibration? not on a Buell! Add another layer of rubber mat under the battery to raise it it. Good Luck!   Stuarth224 Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 02:41 pm:        S2PENGY: YES IS DRAINED BATTERY AND WOULDN'T START AFTER 30 MINS. THE BATTERY LEADS LOOK FINE   Firemanjim Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 03:18 pm:        There is a service manual for the S-1 here in the knowledge vault. It will have the same charging system and tests.   S2pengy Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 04:39 pm:        The main circuit breaker when it goes bad from moisture tends to cycle... Meaning engine will quit then after awhile you can restart then it will quit again... May be worth replacing since it is cheap....
