When to notice voltage fluctuation on Harley Davidson?
Discussion in ‘ Electrical ‘ started by One For The Road, Apr 21, 2018 . When for a ride today and noticed my voltage gage would fluctuate. I have never noticed this before.
How to test the battery and voltage regulator on a Harley?
Step 1. Check the voltage of the battery while it is disconnected from the bike using the multimeter. The volts should be no less than 12 volts.
What should the volts be on my bike?
The volts will drop slightly, but not below 10 volts. Turn the ignition and start the bike. The volts should not drop below 9.6 volts when the starter engages. Turn the throttle to rev the engine. As the engine is revved, the volts should go up to 13 or 14 volts.
What should the voltage regulator read on a Harley Davidson?
If any of the following tests fail, the voltage regulator needs to be repaired or replaced. Clamp the multimeter positive lead on the AC output wire and the negative lead on the battery charge wire. The multimeter should read .5 volts.
What are the symptoms of a bad throttle position sensor?
A faulty throttle position sensor sends incorrect information to the ECM resulting in various issues in the engine, its performance, and fuel economy. Below are common symptoms of a faulty TPS. In most of the cases, all of these symptoms will show together making it easier to detect the faulty component. 1) Car Jerks
How is the throttle connected to the accelerator?
In the old days, there used to be a cable that was connected from the throttle to the accelerator. But now in the technological age, the car’s computer controls when the throttle opens and closes by the feedback it gets about the acceleration of the vehicle.
How much does it cost to replace a throttle position sensor?
If you need to have your throttle position sensor replaced, the cost will depend on the type of car you have. But the average cost of this replacement job isn’t that expensive. The parts will cost you between $75 and $130 on average. The labor costs will be anywhere between $60 and $90, depending on the hourly rate of the mechanics.
What’s the voltage reading on my Street Glide?
I have a question just for my knowledge and maybe some others. I’ve noticed on my ’08 SG with 90,000+ miles now that the voltage meter at start up is around 14.5-14.7 volts. After riding some time on the freeway, it goes down to around 13 volts and then when I get off doing streets, it goes back up to 14.5-14.7 volts.
Why did my voltage regulator fail on my 94?
The first one they had required several hours of troubleshooting with no cause discovered until they contacted HD and found out about the defective units. It’s good to hear you dealer is doing the right thing. My 94 had a premature regulator failure that was something like yours.
Why is the voltage regulator on my Harley 06 not working?
The regulator on my ’06 just went last month, low battery voltage was the cause. The dealership has it now to repair. We’ll see what they come up with. It was the voltage regulator. They said there was a string of defective regulators that they were required to turn in.

What should voltage drop be under fully loaded condition?
It is recommended that the voltage drop should be less than 5% under the fully loaded condition. When electrical current moves through a wire it must surpass a certain level of contrary pressure. If the current is alternating, such pressure is called impedance.
How does a voltage drop test work on a car?
A voltage drop test will assess voltage losses at the battery, the alternator and the starter. 1) With the voltmeter connected to battery, and key and engine off, record a “base” voltage reading. (Your battery should have a minimum of 12.4 volts.)
How do you check battery voltage on Delco Remy?
1) Ensure the battery is charged to 12.4 volts minimum. Connect the carbon pile tester positive lead to the B+ stud on the starter solenoid. Connect negative lead to the ground stud on the starter. 2) Connect the voltmeter (set on low scale) to the positive battery cable. Voltmeter (+) test lead to battery (+) post.
