Some of you folks may remember, a while back i reported that i had bought a new regulator, because my battery was not charging.
The one that i got, seemed to be made with the wrong materials, instead of heat transfering epoxy, it was filled with a goo about the same consistency as a Gummy Bear.
Predicting this would not work long due to over heating, i decided to record the voltage out put from time to time, as it went down hill to charge failure.
So I went to get my multi meter, but only to find as usual, I seemed to have hid it from my self as i so often do with things right before i need them.
So I went and borrowed the one the next door neighbor has, who for the record wanted to talk my ear off as my bike was still running in the garage.
I get back to the bike, open this meter about the size of a pack of ciggerettes, look at the dial and see the DC tester goes no higher then ---
4 VOLTS!!!!
IS THIS SOME SORT OF JOKE??
Is some guy in china laughing his butt off knowing i will need more then just a 4 volt tester.
With bike running I stand there trying to fiqure some way this thing will still work.
I even start (engene still running) looking again for mine while i choke on exaust in garage
Any body know what the hell this 4 VOLTS deal is, dam this pissed me off, WHICH DOUBLE BUMMED ME cause i am trying to stop smoking, and rage makes me want to smoke.
If you see this item in picture above tell me, it responds to the name "Terry" its my brain, which i think i hid from myself again also.
