I could use any thoughts on how to look for this issue... I ride 50 miles up to a stop light and my 86 GL1200i dies out (i mean just dies..). Press starter button no response, no click from solonoid. push bike off to side... battery is dead. Change battery out, turn key on ,press starter button, no click, no nothing.... jump solonoid and bike starts up so I ride it home (3miles). Take volt meter and check voltage before turning bike off running 11.4 volts. The bike has been charging at 13.2 the day before. Turn bike off change solonoid out. Try to restart,no click from solomoid. Can jump solonoid and start. Turn key off and for the heck of it press starter button... marker lights light up when I press the starter button!
Background - The stator has been replaced in 2011, the three yellow wires are soldered (plug removed) the battery is brand new. Thought I had charging problem but up until this issue the voltage showed charging when running. How do I check if I have a voltage regulator issue? Can anyone suggest where to start with this ..... Thanks in advance... Mark
