skidrow Posted June 3, 2008 #1 Posted June 3, 2008 today on the way to work the bike delveloped a hesitation in 4th and 5th gear. shortly after that I noticed the lights flickering. after turning off highbeams, cruise, radio, and not using turn signals the hestation stopped but the dash lights(idiot lights) are still dim and the headlight/running lights are still flickering. anybody got clues? 62 miles is a long way to push the critter home.
SaltyDawg Posted June 3, 2008 #3 Posted June 3, 2008 Those are definite possibilities. Check your battery connections also and the ground where the horn is mounted.
FreezyRider Posted June 3, 2008 #4 Posted June 3, 2008 Check the plug-in at the voltage regulator. It's below the radiator behind the shrouds. Mine acted similarly and the just had a bad connection there. You need to actually unplug the connector and inspect both the regulator and the harness connections. Any corrosion or overheated connections will drastically reduce the charging capacity. Clean everything, tighted any female ends that appear to be loose, fill with dielectric grease if you can get your hands on it, and see if it helps.
