Symptom: Left my fog light on and battery dropped below starting voltage needed. Wasnt able to push start it, so I called a tow truck thru the HOG road America program. The tow truck driver jump started the bike. It ran for a short time, then I started to loose power and the the speedo and tach dropped to zero - then bike finally looses all power.
I think the voltage regulator was already starting to go bad - but when I jump started it fried the voltage regulator. The battery was also a few years old.
Solution: I replaced the battery, but that didnt help. - When running with a volt meter on the battery - I would see the voltage slowly drop and until the loss of power would happen and rough idle.
I then replaced the Voltage regulator - Ran the bike and check the battery with volt meter and the volt meter would put out over 14 volts, and just less then 14 with the fog light and stereo playing.
Conclusion: 1.Never jump start the Buell Uly.
2. If you are have loss of power issues, try changing the voltage regulator and or the battery.
