My brain looks exactly like this!

I’m gonna need a bigger tool box.

 

What, only three wires?
You got shorted.

 

You're brain looks like a 3 pronged connector?

 

do what all the crazy kids do these days... CUT THE CORD!!

 

Are you just trying to live up to your motto in your signature?

 

If I cut the really crispy housing off and gorilla glue the wires into the not as crispy housing, do you think the stator will work? What about the R/R? How long far do you think the battery fuse will last? I bought a 20 pack JIC.

 

I've had to cut the plug and use crimp connectors before.

 

That kind of heat is generally caused by a lot of resistance caused by oxidation somewhere. Besides replacing the plug, check for the cause

 

OMG, she has both male and female connectors.

 

I have parts on their way here.
I was Getting funny readings out of the stator on the AC side of the volt meter. I’m replacing the stator and the R/R to start with. Ordered a voltmeter for the instrument panel to continually monitor the battery.

The manuals drop tomorrow, so I should be rolling again in a few weeks here.

Got a friend who has been very patient with me on the phone while I trouble shoot this. I am lucky I don’t have the voltmeter gorilla glued to my forehead.

 

There's still time.

 

I have no doubt that I could cause someone to take a long plane ride just to do that.

 

Easy fix....

 

I feel your pain. New stator replaced a few weeks ago. Had to grind the lip off the outer primary in order to pull out the rotor. PIA

 

Is that an Aprilia? Regardless solder those wires

 

You need to rectify that situation

 

Where is the resident electrical guru?

Or is that the cause of this meltdown?











Too soon?

 

She's doing it in three phases.

 

Yep, definitely check the rectifier and regulator or the rectifier/regulator if one piece. Or be safe and replace with a new one. It seems like when one fails the others will as well.

 

So, what's the current status on this repair?
