hi all
I fried my reg/rec and bought a new one. changed the location as i put a tyga kit on and it wouldnt fit in the original position. i bolted it to the exhaust bracket. i changed the wiring and connectors as well. i put a volt meter on it to test the battery yesterday and got some wierd readings
bike off/closed ignition 12.36V
open ignotion with low beams on and in neutral 11.97V
idle at 1600rpm 12.58
3000rpm 14.20v
5000rpm 13.80V
8000rpm 13.50V
does this sound normal to anyone?
i checked the wiring again today on the reg/rec and it all seemed fine. i turned the bike on and took the seat off to test the battery again. while giving it a bit of a rev on about 3000rpm i saw smoke coming from the connector that sits in the battery cradle. it has 3 yellow wires simular to the 3 wires that go into the reg/rec.
not sure if they are the same wires or not??
the connector and wires were burned to a crisp.
would the loss of power (voltage on battery) on higher revvs be related to this issue? or is it something different all together?
could i have possibly connected one of the yellow wires on the reg/rec in the wrong slot on the connector? would that fry the other connector next to the battery? i attached pics
also bike seems to riding fine
