Came home last night at about 11pm to find the the seal on my bathroom toilet leaking severely and flooding the bathroom. Cleaned the mess shut the water valve off, went to bed.
Got up early took the toilet apart took the broken seals and hopped on my 1150 and went to get new seals at the hardware store. The bike has been running pretty well and the starter clutch issue that I fixed has been working great, which has made me very happy. Left the hardware store thought Id stop at my mothers house to say hi, she wasn't home so I drove to get gas at the next town just to ride for a bit. Got some gas…..bike won't start, battery is dead. Looked at all the connections everything is good. Another biker offers to help bump start it. It never bump starts well gave it a couple tries no go… Then I hit the starter one more time out of desperation and it starts but I have it in fourth gear and now my helmet and gloves are off and on the ground next to the bike, so I get it in neutral, gear up and go. Get home the battery has 12 volts, I charged it up restarted the bike check for charging NO DEAL… rectifier I hope. Unfortunately I have no time to work on it this weekend anymore.
Looks like I will be replacing the rectifier and doing some testing. I haven't changed it in many years, I may go to the compu-fire the problem is I already have a good ricks rectifier brand new in the box.
