    17 volts is bad bad bad

    Yup checked my 5000 rpm voltage and got me a whopping 17 volts and change.
    Time for yet another reg rect.
    got my mouse button finger hovering over a compu-fire unit but am unsure of the actual part number.
    175 bucks yikes but no more spikes.

                You may want to use a megohm meter to check the insulation on your stator. My r/r took mine with it. Twice. The 1150 has a cycle electric - which I don't recommend simply because it is giant and heavy. I will be ordering a compufire for the triumph, it has similar issues to the gs.

                  Megaohm?
                  You mean set the meter at megaohms?

                  I shall now do that.

                    maudit I read 0.0 Mega ohms across all legs.
                    There is infinite resistance to ground however.

                    Yet another 200 bucks?

                      I think he may have been referring to using a megger to see if your insulating varnish on the stator is breaking down.

                        Bike Bandit has a sale on Rick's stators, one of the best brands available. Not sure if they ship to Canada though.

                            They do ship to Canada. I ordered a stator and R/R on Monday. Shipped Tuesday.
