...?
A couple of years ago my wife and I were cruising around the dunes for a nice ride and suddenly her bike (the 2006 YFZ450) died instantly. I tried to start it but it didn't even click. Long story short, i pulled the seat off and noticed that the tool kit had come lose and the 10mm12mm wrench landed perfectly between the battery terminals
SICK! Anyways, that thing was welded to terminals and had to be muscled off. We ended up pull starting it to get it back. Replaced the battery and noticed that over the past two years the battery would need to be charged to last a whole season...even after many night rides. We are pretty good about not leaving the lights on after the bike shuts off. ANYwho, got my hands a few sets of dem HID's which work awesome on my 700 and my buddies 660 but not so well on the 450 or for about 5 minutes anyway. Installed the lights fired them up and took off riding. 5 minutes into the ride her lights start flickering and then one shuts off?
WHAT? I did put the relay in it and couldn't understand why it was not functioning correctly. Turned her bike off to assess the situation and said let's roll back to camp and check it out, maybe there was something I forgot. Went to start the bike and Nada! Battery wasn't strong enough. Just a click and that's it.
Something is wrong with the system not charging the battery obviously, could there be something I have overlooked? Is the stator shot and I need an upgraded one? Or is there something else in line that may have went before reaching the stator? I may be looking to purchase a new stator kit from moose (specifically for lighing), but that one's gonna run me 259.00 plus tax without the gaskets.
Someone please help!!!
