Hi, was wondering if anyone had a lead on what to check out first...
I have a 2000 748 with a MotoDynamic LED tail light and the integrated turn signal.
When I activate the turn signal the rear works as it should but the front OEM signals stay solid lit, they turn off when I cancel the turn signal.
I noticed when I came out from a quick errand the LED tail light was on even though I had turned the ignition off and had the front forks locked. Shortly after my bike started to want to die, it even shut off once while coasting to a red light. It started right back up fine though.
the next instance is that I had to do a push start at the end of the day to make it the last mile home after stoping to eat. when it started from the push the headlights were barley on and the bike was trying to die the whole mile home. It did die last 1/4 mile but was able to pop the clutch since i was already rolling.
I only work about 2 miles from home so I have been keeping it on a tender every night.
What I have checked so far:
Stator puts out 20V at idle and over 55 on revs, connector isn't melted as i replaced them with watertight connectors ( I am wondering if the connectors I used are a problem cause they are rated for 16V DC and 20 Amps)
Regulator passed the diode multimeter test getting .55 on both red wires. I didn't get the OL when I checked the Reverse Bias but i was thinking it's because I have a cheaper meter. It just stayed @ the default value of 1 with no change
Battery passed a test at auto parts store, no bad cells and was at the right specs
Battery DC voltage:
When bike is off: 13.18V
When ignition is on: 13.18v and will go down .01 with the load draining it
When bike is running it seems to hold@ 13.5 or gain a little voltage when reving but not a lot more
Any ideas??
