Well, she hasn't died yet, a total of about 35-45 minutes of riding... I went through and switched out some old beaten up connectors in the harness, and also went through all the connections in the headlight to ensure they were connected correctly. Something that I found rather strange was...

Great to hear zwade... sounds like you're getting her dialed in at least. What kind of Shorai battery are you running? I have an Antigravity 8-cell. Other than being super light, I'm not sure how I feel about them just yet.

Sounds like I need a DOHC R/R and an adjustable power supply. ;D ;D

*knocks on wood* Thanks guys. So, from my very limited understanding of how this system fundamentally works, if the strength of the magnetic field is based on the battery voltage, would it be possible to trick the system into sending slightly higher voltages to the battery by sayyyy adding a...

For what it's worth, for the past 2 or 3 days my battery voltage has been stable at 13.11 V. It is still hooked up to the electrical system of the bike. Also, when holding the engine at 5-6K RPM, the peak voltage I get at the battery is 13.4 V is that enough to keep my system charged if I...

Any way for one to figure out if their Ricks Reg Rec is considered faulty (as previously described) with simply diagnosis with a DMM? I would hate to rewire everything as above and damage it by mis-wiring. Thanks in advance.

Haven't tried yet, but don't think so. I'll verify this. I'm monitoring voltage on a daily basis as we speak, but the battery is hooked up to the bikes main 12V and ground cables...

Sderbyshire, 0.00 amp drain. I'm now going to monitor the voltage on my battery with everything hooked up and see if the battery drains on its own... Any other ideas?

Sderbyshire, I'll check to see if there is a current draw later today and report back. Thanks. Kokoda, I appreciate the head's up. I can't help but wonder if my Rick's regulator rectifier was in this batch. Crazy that we have to consider these things on brand new 'premium' reg/recs! Great...

I'm hoping someone would be kind enough to guide me through some steps to troubleshoot my electrical problem on a 1978 CB550. I have been trying to tackle this problem for about year now, so all of my rides have been 30 minutes or less (followed by a nice walk home at times) and I can't wait...
