Tuesday night ride

We took the long way to Willow River.  On the way home Clayton had issues.  Thanks to Keith for going and getting his truck and trailer.



Peace & Grease

13.5 tested at the battery with the engine running would be OK if running with headlight.   Sounds like the alternator maybe getting week.  I am assuming your battery was fully charged when you tested it.

Peace & protons, Dennis

It was Denis, the stator checks out ok with the ohmmeter. I have a voltmeter on order for the bike. I will coat the connectors with electrolytic grease and go from there...

 HI Clayton be careful with the grease as it can insolate some connections  ???
