hi all -

have had a (1998) superhawk for 2 days and just had the following happen:
1. tachometer starts oscillating wildly between 0 and 1500 RPM and then dies
2. spedometer does the same oscillation and dies
3. LCD trip meter/mileage dies.

upon making it home, i realize that the bike no longer starts (as in nothing happens when i hit the ignition switch) and the horn doesn't work either. lights are fine (as are the fuses) and the turn signals work and the fan works.

anything obvious? or some sort of random short. any advice would be really helpful.

Sounds like the regularator/rectifier is going/gone out. Might try a search and see what other info you can come up with on it.... I'm kinda new here myself.

Your R/R is toast...

On mine the tach and speedo did that exact dance... my lights were out shortly after that, and then the battery died leaving me straned. Obviously I speak from experience.... at least you made it home!!!!

You can do a search on the electrex website... they tell you how to check the R/R with a voltmeter if you want to know for sure.
