Re: Ease My Suffering ... Broken Down In France
So I finally got the bike back from the French repair shop, with a new battery.
I then rode from Reims to Chamonix, 3pm to 10pm Stopping for fuel 4ish times along the way. I'm not trying to convince myself here, but am I right in thinking that a stator / RegRec issue would of presented itself by now? The new battery isn't simple masking another gremlin? Thinking back to day 1 with Jason Statham through a game of French charades, when the battery pack was connected to the bike the multimeter did peak above 13v when the engine was revved. So sounds like the Reg Rec is working. I just don't want to burden the other 14 riders I've caught up with. Appreciate all your input so far |

Re: Ease My Suffering ... Broken Down In France
The battery is obviously charging but to determine if the system is as healthy as it should be you still need to check it out with a multi meter at some point.

Re: Ease My Suffering ... Broken Down In France
Fingers crossed it's sorted with the new battery. If you've run 7 hours glitch-free then hopefully it will continue that way.
The thing that made me think it was a failure within the battery was a recent post from a guy on SVRider who had intermittent total electrical failure. His battery had tested OK with the engine off and at tickover rpm, it was only when the engine was revved that the fault appeared. Turned out to be a battery terminal post that had fractured clean across. It's rare, but it happens. |

Re: Ease My Suffering ... Broken Down In France
IMHO it's still early days. Sl0th86 had a similar problem and a new battery lasted for a couple of weeks before it went down because the RR wasn't charging it enough. 'above 13V' isn't enough info. If you can charge it overnight at your stops I think it will get you home OK. If you don't, it may not.
