    Compufire & 1150EF

    I put one on my GS1000 including a Rick's stator. With some refitting of the fuses and turn signal box the Compufire fit just fine. Now the voltages are text book according to the Stator Papers. I have a volt meter hooked to the battery to monitor it while riding, great so far.

A service manual will show you how to R and R the forks and disassemble them, gives a chance to clean everything the the seals are easy. Not too hard just...

    Brake light upgrade

    Brake light upgrade A product to consider is one I've used on my GS since new which is the SOS Priority Lites. All three lights operate together as tail lights and brake lights with turn signals as normal. No issues with police or state inspections and I'm told they are eye catching day or...

    Compufire latest episode Compufire latest episode Just returned from a ninety mile ride and all systems seem to be working as intended. Voltages are well within spec low, 12.6 at idle and 14.6 max. I have a digital voltage meter mounted on the pad below the gauges for the moment. The CPU fan...

    Compufire/rick's Compufire/rick's Alright, mounted a CPU fan on the Compufire and had a noticeable temp drop, when measured it had dropped average 21 degrees. And the voltages are still testing above the quick test results with a max being 14.6 volts. It fits under the stock side cover with...

    Compufire latest episode Compufire latest episode Talked to Compufire on the phone today and they said the unit will get warm like that and to mount it where there is airflow over the unit to cool it. They stated that it was designed for the Harley Davidson to have it on the front of the...

    Cf Cf Yes it's a little toasty for hand holding, so what would be an acceptable temp range for the unit and if mine runs too warm what could cause this?

    Cf Cf Went for a 30 mile test ride today with the voltmeter on board and the readings were as if I had cut and pasted the figures off the quick test. A question though, the temp of the CF it's self would how many degrees? I bought an infrared thermometer today and ran the bike around the area...

    Compufire

    I'm going to triple check them even they're pretty much all new now. And I found it interesting that the no load stator test didn't reveal the defective stator. The stator appeared to have been used as a barbeque grill, nice and crunchy looking. Again thanks for the help.

    Compufire/rick's Compufire/rick's Well finally got parts installed including a digital voltmeter on the handlebar pad and added an Eastern Beaver inline fuse holder for the main power supply. Out for a ride and the voltages are at- off 12.8-9, idle 13.6-8, 2500 rpm 14.3-5, 5000 rpm 14.3-5...

    Compufire Well the Rick's stator arrived today and was installed, no problem install and changed back to the original CF regulator. Thus far initial testing reveals voltages are easily within spec but will let the battery sit overnight off the Tender, clean and reinstall the counter shaft cover...

    Compufire

    Voltage readings are in spec until it's been run around the block, then back to a maximum of 13.3 volts period. Have got the battery on charge and will check the voltage drops. Did a test again on the stator and resistance and ground check good and 5k voltages at 76 with no load as in wires...

    Cf Cf Up to his point yes, it started off warm (just) to the touch but it cooled down with running. Connections are staying cool also, stay tuned till after a ride.
