    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

The left side plate from memory. Somewhere down by the fusebox / ignitor. On my 1000 I use one of the now redundant airbox mounting tabs. :)
 
Many thanks to all have responded to my post by sharing your experience and thoughts. The borrowed multimeter confirmed your suspension that the fluctuating voltages were a result of a bad multimeter, Klein MM100.

I followed all of your recommendations for checking and cleaning ground connections and adding a single point ground SPG to the frame. Located the SPG at upper bolt of the engine plate on the left side of the bike. Have new ground wires going to the (-) battery, SH775, and the bolt of the fuse box where a harness ground was also attached. Left the ground wire from the (-) battery to the back of the crankcase as suggested. The harness is also grounded at the factory location to the battery box.

Rode the bike tonight. All the quick check voltages are within the ranges listed in the Stator Pages. Thanks again.
 
It's always nice to get the pieces of a puzzle in the right position. I had a MOSFET fail in a Polaris regulator I was using on an 1100 and it did about the same thing. Congrats!
