Hi everybody,
I do own a Honda Goldwing Aspencade 1200 1986 with 69,000 km. I did purchased it in april 2003 with 46,000 km on it. As far I could remember, the alternator as never been change. I did remove the alternator and regulator/rectifier coupler( beside the upperleft hand sideof the battery,because it was all corroded, andsoldered all 3 yellow wires directly, after I had the motorcycle inspected by a Honda motorcycle shop and been advise of the coupler condition. I replace the battery last august, got about 8000 km on it. We just cameback from a 4000 km hollidaytrip (hauling a little cargo trailer ): U.S.A (Vermont, New-Hampshire, Maine ) New-Brunswick, Nova-Scotia and back to St-Hubert, Québec
Have you heared of the following problem:
a. Recently I noticed at idle speed (1000 rpm )in neutral gear having fluctuating lights (neutral green light,and headlights). I did check the charging system with a multimeter: 1000 rpm = 12.8 volts,andat 2500rpm= 14.6 volts. The voltage did not fluctuated at any of those rpm mentionned above. I did not check if the headlight fluctuate when motorcycle is in gear and not moving at all. May be I should have......
b. Since I got that motorcycle everytime I put the flashers L/R or push on the rear brake pedal to slow down, the headlight or the neutral green light become weaker. Is it normal
Does anybody have run throught similar problems.
Hope to hear from you folk’s
