    1978 CB550 - Electrical Woes Regarding Discharge of Battery

    lol, yeah I had 2 years of labor on mine. I ended up getting a new battery put in yesterday( after having rewired my r/r like Sonreir said) and the voltage was similar to yours. When I was high revving around 4-5k the battery voltage was at 13.3-13.4 (which is lower than shorai recommends at 2k...

    Is my Rick's Regulator/Rectifier bad?

    I ordered mine 2 years ago, and it has just sat new in the box since until a week ago. Would it still be part of the bad batch you think? This seems to make sense, so instead of white to white from the r/r it needs to be White to green from r/r. Leave the 3 yellows the same. Leave red the...

    UPDATE I put my carpy 4-1 exhaust on a few weeks ago. 1) I went to my cousins house this past Wednesday and he helped me put on my DCC rear tail hoop. We put a rod in the tubing on the rear of the frame and banged it out so it was more circular than oval. Then we drilled a hole on each...

    UPDATE Parts update, got some goodies in the past week. My seat, exhaust, grips, and headlight all came in.
