Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted September 21, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 21, 2012 Got my new battery in last night and fired up the bike. Voltages checked out ok but the regulator heated up to 150 F as measured with an IR thermometer and output rose to 14.75 v from a previous high of 14.6 v as the bike ran while parked and heated up to the point of the fan kicking on. Is this within specs? I'm fixin' to head on out at 11 AM to take the back roads to Harrison and I' hoping I don't need a voltage regulator!

Member Contributer vanion2 Posted September 21, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 21, 2012 You're voltage should be a measurement of rpm...not engine temp (though as it warms up it will rev higher than normal). Refer to this thread to verify everything is working: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/15-electrical-test-rr-stator-and-battery/page__hl__%2Brear+%2Brectifier Good luck!

Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted September 21, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 21, 2012 Sorry, I wasn't clear... I'm rushing to finish work and get out the door. At idle it was about 13.8 v, at about 3k rpm it would rise to the voltages I stated earlier and would stay steady up to 5k rpm. I didn't go higher on the rpms than 5k. I just noticed how hot the regulator got so I checked the regulator temp and it seemed the voltage was creeping higher (14.75 v). Thanks for the link. Looks like voltages are good... phew!! That's a relief... Now I can relax and enjoy the weekends rides!!! Woo-Hoo!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Yokel Posted September 22, 2012 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 22, 2012 Day ONE in the books. The FLAF has changed hands. Everyone is tucked safely in bed resting up for tomorrow's roller-coaster rides. Great folks, amazing weather, good roads... it all adds up to a win! Randall and Debbie at the Hub are their usual accommodating selves. Rides kick off tomorrow at 9. Eat a hearty breakfast and BE SAFE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Yokel Posted September 22, 2012 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 22, 2012 On a side note: A sixer of Boulevard, Red Stripe, Stella Artois, a 12 of Bud Light and Heineken with 10lbs of ice only take TWO of the TRAX bags. Just in case, you know, anyone was wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer 00Yeller Posted September 23, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 23, 2012 Checking in; home safe, bike's unload, showered, laundry stacked and ready to throw in. Thanks to all, great company, lots of new friends and great roads. It can't get much better than that. Here's hoping for good weather on the road home for everyone and look forward to the next VFRD event!!! Huge tip of the helmet to Yokel, excellent job on accommodations, dinning and weather!!!

Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted September 23, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 23, 2012 Made it home safe and sound... no blown turns or conversations with law enfircement! 885 miles in 51 hours, great roads, GREAT people, good times with new friends and old ones, cold beer & warm fire... PRICELESS!!! SR19 on the way back through MO cut about 60 miles off the total miles on the return trip and added about 100 miles of twisties, sweepers, and a couple of National Forests... I highly recommend it! Thank you to Miguel, Steve, Rod, Adam, Leslie, and Richard for an awesome ride group!!! Slammer set the sweet lead and pace... thanks Man! Nicely done Yokel!!!! Great Event... 1st Annual Fall Ozark's Ride went off flawlessly, looking forward to next year! PS: Yokel, how much $$$ for the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer huntinggunns Posted September 24, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 24, 2012 Me and VcFR are home safe. Just got everything unloaded and are starting to get it all put up. All I can say is that we had a blast and learned quite a bit about riding the "twisties". Most of the roads around here are straight and flat so this was a great experience. Thanks to Yokel for all that he did to put this together and we are hoping it is an annual thing. We are definately going to try and work in other group rides as they come up. We tried to meet all the members that showed up and get as many pictures as we could but I think we missed some. Next time we will do better with that. Anyway, nice meeting everyone and looking forward to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer dutchinterceptor Posted September 24, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted September 24, 2012 This whole AR ride was a pain in my a$$!! But only because I was riding a buzzy dirt bike! Texass guys made it home. Started the day in the 40's and ended it in the 90's with only a couple hours worth of rain. Big thanks to Yokel for all his efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
