My bike tried to leave me stranded the other day when I had heat gear on. I got it bump started on a lucky hill.
Im a total nube to troubleshooting. Its semi frustrating but I think Im figuring it out. With a Fluke 77
Im reading 15, 17 and 24V at 2000 rpm and 0.3ish ohms on two legs but 0.5 on one. Im also getting continuity when testing per stator check in the manual. The battery is one month old and grounds are clean and tight.
So do you guys agree it time for a new stator? Argh
Thanks again

Sounds like a VR to me

Boy I hope its a VR. The test I did was AC output. I thought it should be 32-40Vac

Most xb's had VR upgrade in '08. From flat-pin to round pin. B/c of melting/arcing pins that damaged vr's. My '07 went out, drove me crazy. Changed pins, put 20k more miles on it. Ur '06 might need a upgraded regulator kit.

If you don't mind my asking, what's with all the posting about rotors and stators here and on the 1125 forum? Is this a weak part of the Buell design? I don't think I've ever heard a complaint from HD owners about this. In fact about the only complaint in 20K miles of riding my Softail is it's slow and has no lean angle (no problem, when it bothers me I go ride my Uly ). From what I gather this can get awfully expensive and it makes me wonder if it's a problem I'm going to have to face with my Uly sooner or later.
