Hello all, Just had the bike die 100 miles from nowhere in eastern oregon. The dash was going crazy. It wouldn't turn over. The battery did not test well under load once we reache civilization. People have said that it might be the rectifier/regulator? I am able to bump or jump start it just fine. The battery was brand new and always on the battery tender. Any clues? Nice long story to go along with this mishap as well... 60 miles in the dark of eastern oregon using only a headlamp to light my way.......
Put a volt meter on the battery terminals jump start the bike and see if the alt is pushing the battery voltage to 14 vdc. If the regulator is bad the battery will either not show increased voltage or it will spike over 15vdc and fry the battery. Take shut bike down and see if battery voltage stays over 12.2 ish vdc. My guess is just a bad battery.
2006 TE 610 Display Disco The display will go crazy when the main 20A fuse blows. Check the fuse; it's located next to the flasher unit under the left-hand side panel. The problem is often that the wiring harness on the 06 is too short so it binds and pulls at wires that aren't overly excited about being pulled on. I unclipped the wiring harness holder on the left side of the steering head to give the harness more room to move. Also, you might pull the plug from the back of the display and make sure that all of the wires are long enough to reach the pins; mine were not. While you have the plug out, try spreading a layer of dielectric grease along it to assist in continuity. I blew the main fuse a number of times with that happy-happy dashboard disco, but haven't blown one since working on it, and the display has been fine.
Another P-Town Husqvarmit. Thank you for the tips, I will check the connectors and fuses. I haven't even looked at the bike since the trip, or unpacked. I hope the fix is that simple.
