    Consistently burning up R/Rs

    K, quick update. I have not made any changes to the configuration since my last post. I was getting ready to replace the stator. I started the bike, and clipped up one of the little $5 harbor freight alt testers to it (like this http://tinyurl.com/y3ehsyzx ), and the 13v light was steady, the...

    Consistently burning up R/Rs

    I can deal with curt, what I'd rather not waste time with is ineffective. Clear communication is clear communication, and as this is my... second? post, y'all don't know me from Adam and you're correct to second guess my abilities and methods. :) Like I said above, I appreciate your time...

    Consistently burning up R/Rs

    So to what @DEcosse and @barbagris are saying re: shunt regs, from a load standpoint, it sounds like if there was a constant draw (for silliness's sake, let's say it's the starter just spinning constantly as the engine runs), the MOSFETs in the R/R would be less likely to fail due to heat bc...

    Love being at work and seeing people helping me with my motoproblems and not being able to think and respond because i'm at work. #rage Reading your responses now, will respond momentarily, thanks a ton for working on this with me :)

    Consistently burning up R/Rs

    Following the stock wiring diagram and ensuring anything that only interacts with the ECU now only reacts with the ECU after installation of the m.unit (essentially a swap of the fuse panel) feels like a complex thing to attempt, but when you consider that it's just the same act of switching (1)...

    Consistently burning up R/Rs

    Howdy all! I've got an 06. If I replace the rectifier/regulator, the charging system will operate for a bit and then burn out the R/R. I am getting voltage (while running at idle and 5k rpm) and impedance readings from the stator consistent with not having a bad stator. I have searched and I...

    R3 Newbie finds flailing connector, R3 oldies offer friendly advice

    I'm off on a journey to troubleshoot my charging system, but that's not what this post is about. In searching around for my alt\rect connectors to follow the manual's troubleshooting flowchart, I found that my relay rubbers are broken, leaving my relays flailing about. I have a 3d printer, so...
