28-10-2014 - BuellXB electrical problem. BuellXB primairy cover change.

XB9S, battery problems, the battery can't seam to hold his charge for more that 3 weeks, and being driven short trips, witch is a pain, as this Li-ion battery was bought for this ( long time storage and keeping a charge ) with current draw test it give 0.04 amps.

XB9S, battery problems, diode check... all ok blocking one way, after reversing the leads the measure voltage from the diode test.

 

XB9S, battery problems, ok rule out things... i put in a normal battery, and measure again.. changing is higher ( voltage differance between normal clamp voltage , and charging ) i'm in contact with the manufacture how much voltage it needs to charge.
