Gauges died and then bike died - charging system?
 

Hi all. My bike died. Did it last summer and I replaced battery and the rest of the season was fine. Thinking the charging system. Any tips on how to efficiently test and repair?

Thanks

check battery voltage while running, specs are in owners manual, downloadable version in knowledge base section if you dont have a hard copy

rectifier
 

Check your rectifier and wiring, its under the right side rear cowling .... mine did the same thing.. 7moore7 hooked me up with some great knowledge

In case it's the charging system (very common)
Here is all the knowledge you need about why and how

13 to 14 volts at idle across the battery posts using a volt meter is a what your looking for.
