Well here is the latest on my goldwing problem, I left for a trip the day i posted the battery situation. During the trip...............on the highway............in the middle of no where (of course) the bike lost all electrical. Iremembered the infamous 3 yellow wires and found alot of corosion and a little melting, attempted a on the side of the road repair and found the wires were too short to get together after cutting them. I did the 3 basic gymnastics moves to get a signal on the cell phone to get towed to the nearest town. After getting to a Honda dealership, they finished my butcher job on the yellow wires, they checked the stator and said it was only putting out 8.5 volts.
I rented a truck and got back home, now I need to replace the stator. Would appreciate any info I can get into doing this myself. Remember....I'm a firefighter......not a mechanic. I am mechanically inclined on bikes after working in shops many years when i was younger
. Does the engine HAVE to be completly removed? The shops around here want to charge like 1200.00 just for the labor if they'll work on it at all.........so one last final word.............HELP!!!!
Thanks everyone
