    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Amperage higher at idle

I've narrowed my main fuse problem down to the amperage being 4 1/2 amps when at anything over a fast idle (2000 rpm and above). It rises to over 10 amps when idling (750-1000 rpm). I have the headlights on an independant fuse.
Is there a logical reason for this?
 
What is your voltage at idle and at 2000rpm? As voltage goesup amperage goes down, but you shouldn't have that big a voltage change.
 
Amperage higher at idle

The good news is the problem has corrected itself. The bad news is, I didn't find a fault to correct.
I had taken all of the fairing and bike wiring apart looking for abrasions or bad connections. When it was put back together again, the amperage at idle was only 6 amps and at 2000 rpm it was 4 1/2 amps.
SqDancerLynn1, would you please elaborate on your suggestion? Exactly how can I take an amp reading if the stator is disconnected? Sorry to be so dense.
