Voltage drop while riding
2003 FLHTPI
What would cause my volt meter to drop from 14 to 9 creating lost of power and sometimes backfire, then it goes back to 14 volts? This happens mostly when I'm riding for the first 30 minutes and around 2000-3000 rpm. It seems to go away after I ride for awhile. Each time this happens, it lasts for 5-10 seconds. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Will Mill

RE: Voltage drop while riding
This is just a guess, but itmight bea temperature sensitive corroded electrical terminal. As your bike warms up, the change in temp might be "fixing" the connection until the next cooling-heating cycle. Good luck finding it.

RE: Voltage drop while riding
Thanks! I just came back from a2500 mile trip from Wash. D.C. to Emporia, Kansas and back again in time for Rolling Thunder. My stock rear cylinder muffler turned blue. The bike must have got pretty hot to turn the muffler blue that for back. I was running 80-90 mph. Top speed is only 98.
I'll have to get a higher power magnifyingglasses to trace wires. It's hard for me to see this stuff.
Thanks again.
