Someone here selling Honda R/R's?

[Guest]

I haven't been on much since the site came back up, do I remember that someone here is selling Honda R/R packages? I looked in the parts section and searched some but couldn't find a reference.

Yesterday I went to charge my battery since I haven't ridden in a few weeks and I planned to go down to Florida this weekend but when I pulled the battery I found it almost dry. This is a 6 month old battery too.

So AFAIK this would only be caused by the battery overcharging right? I haven't had a chance to start following the Stator Papers yet but I'll get started on that this weekend instead of riding now... grr


Thanks,

Good guy, recieved mine shortly after paypaling.

Could be. Clean your R/R connector really good. Find the R/R frame ground point and jumper that to the battery neg terminal (-). Check your battery voltage with the bike running about 2k rpms. Should be at least 14vdc.

Thanks for the tips. I had the R/R connector on and off several times last summer when I was doing the ignition relay mod. Even though I cleaned it that will be a good place to start since I think I remember one wire terminal being loose in the connector.

I also ran an extra ground to the battery at that time. I think I ran it from one of the R/R mounting bolts to the negative terminal.

Usually too high a charging voltage is what boils the battery dry. SOmetimes it can be the battery

Take a meter to the battery and stator. Measure the voltage and figure out what's wrong before you start throwing parts at it.
