Resolved with new MOSFET R/R. Seems to be charging properly. 14.5V above 2000rpm. Will put some miles on it over the next few months to see how it holds up. Cheers, Joe

Thank you for the replys. Thanks Roger for the details. Purchased a new MOSFET regulator from Ricks and it should arrive today. Plan to install and test tonight. BonZa...I have the Factory Service Manual, but missed that in the troubleshooting section. I think I need to grab a beer and...

Ok...Finally found some other references of the voltage across the leads of the Stator at idle. Looks like 15-20VAC at idle is ok. I'm going to take this as the case unless someone else counters this. Regards, Joe

Thanks. I think that test looks for a short to ground on one of the phases. I'll check that but I don't think this is the case. I will likely order one of the MOSFET Reg/Rec from regulatorrectifier .com ......unless someone has another recommendation for where to order from. Do you...

Hello Folks, Done lots of searching and just need a few clarifications while troubleshooting a charging issue on my '07 Bonneville. Classic charging issue where battery goes dead after long period of riding. Pretty sure the Regulator/Rectifier has gone kaput, but here are my voltage numbers...

You can also use a broom(wooden) handle inserted into the fork to hold the damper in place while turning the bolt. Cheers, Joe

Thanks for the tip. I'll be pulling them again to put the mains up to 125's as the bike is still running a little lean. Regards, Joe

Sal Paradise, Blue J, and SC Bonneville, Problem resolved.... and i'm sorry to say it is 100% user error :pick: Good example to show that experience still screws up :) Been working on my old mechanical honda carbs for years. But apparently i can still toss the needles in incorrectly...

Thanks for the input. 1 Turn out on the screws had absolutely no effect. I'm going to pull the carbs again and will clean and blow out all lines and inspect slide diaphragms and needle jet placement, etc... I'm probably going to put the 40 pilots back in to see if that makes much of a...

Hello Folks, Having some issues that I could use some input on. Here's the bike as it sits now: 2007 Bonneville -TORS - AI Removed - 120mains/42pilots/2turns/no needle shim - Airbox Baffle and snorkel Removed - KN Air Filter Couldn't get it to start this spring and floats got stuck...

Which Fairing do you have mounted? Is that a parabellum or anther brand? Cheers, Joe

I'm still voting on an Slow Jet / Idle Circuit Issue that hits when going from a high running rpm to nada with the clutch pulled in. Could be an electrical issue... but I would think that more random running scenarios would happen. This is something that I have had happen to my bonnie when...

Could also be out of sync carbs....

Does ever happen under engine braking (ie. when you're still at Higher RPMs)? Or only when you go from a high RPM to a Low RPM? How low is your idle set? Regards, Joe

Up and Running... Sounds a bit better. Here's a clip of it after a quick warm-up ( If I can post it correctly). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEcl-MjOiMU&feature=channel Cheers, Joe
