Hello all, I am brand new to this forum.
I just purchased a 1999 Royal Star Venture. I love the bike. But, the problem I am having started day before yesterday. While I am riding, I am experiencing these symptoms: (Symptoms happening Simultaneously)
Lights go dim, radio goes out comes back goes out again, comes back, engine backfiring combined with poor acceleration. This issue is happening sporadically, in other words, no correlation with hitting a bump in the road, or anything like that.
Now I have worked on automobiles for more than 30 years, and this seems to me like a stator/Alternator type of issues where I am running on the battery instead of the Stator/Alternator.
Battery is being recharged as we speak, because battery was dead last night, then again this morning.
Any input any of you have, or have experienced the same issues and found the solution l, please let me know?
I am in a motorcycle club, and we have a ride we are doing this Saturday that is mandatory, so I have to have this/these issues fixed before then.
